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.
