    well, in 68, if you wanted to break up a protest all you had to do was fire up a couple of bongs in an alley upwind of the protest

    See, this is why legalizing weed was a bad idea, now it’s available to everyone and we can’t lure people away! Lol

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, that's pretty obviously not what I called fascist--what I called fascist was stating you wanted a hose turned on every group of protestors, with no distinction made between peaceful ones and violent ones. And yes, there have been plenty of peaceful ones late at night.

    I'm not necessarily against a curfew considering how many violent opportunists are also out there, but "being out after 10" doesn't automatically make you a violent thug.

    The distinction was after 10 pm maybe look for context next time.

    I was editing my post while you responded, but the tl;dr is "after 10" doesn't create that distinction.

    Look, implement the curfew, if you are a part of the group still, like my parents would tell me “be careful who you are in company with, don’t roll with the wrong crowds.” It’s on you.

    Total agreement here.

    We have a multitude of laws that deal directly with all crimes committed by violent thugs.

    Sadly, 2 decades of vote by mail fraud has entirely replaced our State and local government with sycophants who violate their oath to enforce these laws.

    Whats that in reference to? Is that the guy who kicked the other guy?

    Was there some kind of proof that guy (the guy who was kicked) was racist, other than people just saying he was?

    While you'd ideally prefer to have a barber do it, in this age of coronavirus, you do it very carefully.

    It’s the piece of shit who punted the dude who was already on the ground and not fighting. He just saying the guy was racist to get an e-pass. He is a real piece of shit.

    Clearly being out after 10 doesn’t make you a criminal. My point is that these are highly unusual circumstances and everything tried till now does not work. We can’t let a city get fucked up and people get hurt forever. There’s no reason to be out after 10 unless you are working. You might WANT to be out but you don’t have to be. And when these fucksticks stop wreaking havoc we can all go back to normal. But this is insanity. Next up, clean up the tents.

    I did a little digging, (first time i ever checked out reddit...god that place is a cesspool)...but still didn't really find anything concrete as to what started the whole thing. It just sounds like some ass hole decided he would kick some guy and claim he was racist.

    Can't wait for the entire story to come out.
