CURFEW IS WORTHLESS IF IT IS NOT ENFORCED

by Bob Walsh

As I write this, about 730 pm on Tuesday, both NYC and DC are WAY past their curfew.  As far as I can tell the civil authorities are doing absolutely nothing to enforce their curfew.

That being said the military has moved 1,500 active duty troops into DC, presumably to increase security at various federal locations.  (Isn't the whole district a federal location?)  

The "protesters" are still getting slightly froggy near (but not too near) the White House.  There is more impromptu fencing and the crowds sometimes shake the fences, sort of like monkeys in the zoo.  They haven't started throwing shit.  Yet.  

It still isn't obvious whether or not Trump will actually attempt to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.  Maybe Red Bill deBlasio is hoping the "demonstrators" (rioters) will run out of bricks and gasoline before he runs out of cops and buildings. 

The Israelis have an interesting way of dealing with such things.  They use Ruger 10-22 rifles fitted with suppressors firing sub-sonic ammo and kneecap "protesters."  It's hard to be too much of a pain in the ass if you are in great pain and can't walk.  However, we don't do that.  Probably.
