My county and city just issued a 9pm curfew. I am just curious if everybody is experiencing curfews and closing.

Did you get 9 pm? Mine is 6 pm. I guess I will watch more episodes of black mirror.

Y'all need to be liberated

None of this lockdown stuff
 
The governor just announced an 8pm curfew. There was some vandalism and looting downtown...but most of the anger was directed at the police. A police car was set on fire and an officer got hit with a bottle full of paint. A helicopter view of the protest shows that there's only about 200 young people, but they seem determined to violate the curfew.

Lawton OK put a 10pm curfew in place when bars, restaurants and 'non-essential' stores were closed. They later backed it up to 11pm. I think it is over now.... :peace

That's awful. We had shops being attacked and cars being flipped over. I really wish anger was expressed differently.

Now it just looks like a street party....with lots of selfies and the burned out car. Wait...it's getting rowdy again...they're throwing debris at an armored police truck...

There have been no instances of cow tipping or stealing horses in recent days, so I'm good.

I've never experienced a curfew. What's it like?

Me either. It's basically if the cops see you, you're sent home or potentially arrested or fined.

I have never experienced a pandemic or a forced curfew. Even as a kid, my parents never set a curfew. They just said, tell me where you're going and when you're coming back, and have a nice time.

It's not the curfew - which is a stay inside order - but the situation causing the curfew.

The worst I remember is the LA riots after the beating of Rodney King. There was a spontaneous, unexpected uprising where a large number of people just sort of went out and anyone they encountered was in danger. That one had a real feel - whether imagined or not - of 'go out and it's dangerous'.

Statistically, the reporting is, "As a result of several days of rioting, more than 50 people were killed, more than 2,300 were injured, and thousands were arrested."

Of course the nation's worst riots I know of were circa 1968, including rioting after the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr., except in the city where Robert Kennedy announced it to a black crowd in a dangerous area his police escort refused to accompany him to, where he asked for peace.

If my team -- The Buffalo Bills -- win a Super Bowl, there's going to be more than the fans breaking tables or drinking liquor out of bowling balls.

I hear a lot of pickups and motorcycles so the tippers might be organizing. We might have a the Amish militia to battle with them later tonight.

Things could get fun as they party like its 1699.
