Anyone dealing with a curfew tonight?

At the risk of taking this thread off the rails, what does the race breakdown of your area have to do with anything? You do realize that they are plenty of whites (I'd even go as far as saying majority) who are the ones doing the rioting and looting, right?

Majority?? Puuhleeze. You go too far. Every race has been looting.

We'll be under curfew here every night until otherwise notified, though it's been pretty quiet today. There have been protests, but nothing that got out of hand on a large scale. It was jarring to drive by the mall this morning and see a national guard truck blocking the entrance. Most of the stores closed between 5-6 tonight.

We have an 8pm curfew - or maybe 8:30pm. I'm not even sure.

No not here. Knock on wood, that’s not usually a problem here. Have had peaceful protests during the day.

Omaha area curfew is 8PM to 6AM. What was strange was that even Walmart closed at 3, so I couldn’t stop in my way home from work.

I'll just expand on the patchwork around here. I live close to a county border, so it gets rather interesting. A couple of countywide curfews, which may get interesting if there are city curfews with different hours.

I don't remember too many curfews in the past. The last time I recall any was around the night of the Rodney King riots, and I was driving home from my college campus - technically after the curfew had started. However, that was a time before there was internet news or even that people had cell phones. Curfews were more word of mouth or had to be announced well in advance - like in print newspapers.

No. We live in a rural location that probably 90% Caucasian. While there have be peaceful protests in the capitol and other larger cities we're pretty well removed from it.

I have no idea why people would need to know that your location is made up of mostly whites. SmH. (It's always one) LOL. Never fails

We are on the westside of Cleveland, just a few miles outside of the curfew zone. It's a little different because it's not just a nighttime curfew but a daytime one and downtown and other neighborhoods close to downtown are completely blocked off. Normally it wouldn't have been an issue but one of my kids had a doctors appointment in uptown. It isn't part of the curfew zone but we couldn't get there our usual way due to roads being blocked and the freeway being backed up. A trip that usually takes 20 minutes took and hour. My adult son wasn't comfortable going alone due to the police and national guard presence and the unrest. It was unreal seeing it all. We are a little too close for comfort.

I'd rather see the police and national guard than protesters/looters/rioters blocking the roads.

The city of Sacramento has a curfew but the suburbs in the county do not. Our Costco, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and Safeway have been closing at 6pm the last two nights. Walmart had pallets stacked up blocking their doors and Safeway had pallets stacked inside their doors. State employees working downtown have not gone to work for two days.

We closed our store early all weekend and had a staff meeting about where to meet up in event we all get looted. We're supposed to go around back by some other buildings because we're still 'on the clock'. We all nodded and smiled, then me and everyone else on shift agreed we aren't standing outside a looted building, we'd get in our cars and leave. Bless all my coworkers they know I take the bus so I was offered a ride should I need it.

I know Dayton had/has a curfew. Not sure what it is exactly. I'm in a suburb that's all small residential housing and have heard nothing for us. All is quiet on the western front as far as I know.

I am in a suburb of Sacramento as well, and the National Guard also arrived today along with the start of the city curfew. I work downtown in a County office, but we were told to immediately evacuate our office today around 10:30AM, and not return until told to do so. There has been some looting around the town I live in as well at a few CVS stores and liquor stores, but most of the trouble has been downtown. The Mayor reported at least $10,000,000 in damage. I hope it all ends soon.

There may be curfews in Houston but we live south of there and we don't have curfews but we are dealing with Wal Mart, Target and several other businesses closing at 5:00 pm everyday because I think today George Floyd's body is being returned to Houston for burial and there is a fear that it will attract protesters. Our Greater Houston area is on alert.

No curfews here in Michigan, at least not yet. We're about 40 minutes north of Detroit: there have been protests for the last four nights, but they have (mostly) ended peacefully. We're also about 40 minutes SE of Flint where there have also been protests: the sheriff made national news there by taking off his riot gear and listening to the protesters, then walking with them. The high school students in our city are planning a march for Sunday, but I anticipate that will be peaceful as well. Hopefully things will continue like this and we won't need a curfew.

No curfew in my small town (except for the normal curfew for people under 18), but my neighboring capitol city (where DH works) has an 8 pm curfew. All stores (including the ones in my town) are closing at 5 pm each night.

Unfortunately the police tear-gassed a very peaceful protest last night about 30 minutes before the curfew began and then ran into the crowd and pepper sprayed a bunch of people, and it was all caught on video by multiple people. The chief of police has (half-heartedly, IMO) apologized, and the officers who participated have been removed from duty, but my guess is things will be worse tonight because of it. It was completely and entirely unwarranted.

Last night we had a curfew of 8 pm. It's the first curfew I've had since high school. All because the police decided to tear gas and flashbang peaceful protesters.

 

[RamblingMad]

This reminds me of the movie Judge Dredd.

6 pm throughout So Cal

6pm curfew in Anaheim, but we've gotten used to staying home so no problem. The protests in downtown Anaheim were mostly peaceful except for one knucklehead that threw a couple of fireworks at the police so that's when it got declared an unlawful assembly. Always someone trying to stir things up.

But they are not going to predominately white areas to do it. They are going to the cities where the black population is greater. I think that's what the OP meant. Not suggesting that the only protesters were black. Calm down.

We've had an 8pm curfew for the past 12 weeks.
