In Support of Curfew

[JJChambers]

As well all know, it has long been said that nothing good happens after midnight. This curfew should help restore order and make it easier to distinguish between the RIGHTEOUS PROTESTERS and the opportunistic and VILE looters.

23. Jury results, 1-6 leave

I'll add them in when I get the results, but I'm predicting this to be 0-7.

Edit - Results.
REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Laughing at personal attacks against a recovering alcoholic is SO below DU.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Aug 16, 2014, 06:59 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Denied. This alert was an abuse of the DU alert system.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Da fuq does that alert mean?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Ok, um...

Go to bed, you're drunk is a somewhat common saying for when someone does something odd, or out of the ordinary.

As for a personal attack, I don't see it - Admittedly, I don't know the history between the posters but wouldn't it be better to alert on the supposed attack rather then a response to it?
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "Offending" comment no different than saying " you are crazy/nuts" in response to a nonsensical statement.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh for heaven's sake.....................

26. Ha

Thanks

[AngryAmish]

29. May I say, as drunk who is currently drunk, this post should stand.

I'm drunk, ama!

[FarPoint]

27. Ditto

Enough already.

[TheKentuckian]

3. Apologist, authoritarian, anti civil liberties, unAmerican garbage.

[bigwillq]

4. Unrec

[In_The_Wind]

8. +1

[leftstreet]

15. +1 Dipshit chief should be leading a candlelight vigil

fucking morons

[yuiyoshida]

28. Don't you kinda miss that?

Unrec

[bigwillq]

39. Yes

I loved the unrec feature.

[Hoyt]

5. I hate to see curfews, and there are lots of arguments against it. But, I think

it will at least keep the community from getting hurt protecting stores from looters. I bet a lot of citizens support it.

Hope it's lifted soon, policeman is indicted, and a PD housecleaning initiated.

[cwydro]

21. We had curfews back in the 60's

Right here in Charlotte NC.

Who needs to be out after midnight except for work?

If you were a store owner there. do you want your business protected? Thanks for posting.

Exactly, Hoyt.

[NOLALady]

6. Seriously?

[VanGoghRocks]

7. I must respectfully disagree. I would also like to know by what statutory authority Nixon

can declare a 'state of emergency' and a 'curfew'. Has the MO State Legislature passed some sort of Enabling Act?

[CreekDog]

9. of course you're in favor of the curfew

that was obvious before you posted.

[arcane1]

10. I've seen all kinds of good things happen after midnight.

[randome]

30. "Sorry, Mom. It's after midnight. I'll have to stay at Brenda's tonight."

[hr][font color="blue"][center]All things in moderation, including moderation.[/center][/font][hr]

[ohnoyoudidnt]

11. You sound like a right-wing cop. nt

[immoderate]

12. We all know that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, and...

... a stitch in time saves nine, but that thing about midnight somehow evaded me. Go figure.

[99Forever]

13. Nonsense.

All this has done is make matters worse. The people are rightfully angry as hell and this will prove to be a HUGE mistake.

[justiceischeap]

14. Yes, because imposing a curfew on a town already angered by the lack of respect they've been

shown always has a pleasant outcome. Especially a community that has the history of Sundown laws in their no too recent past. Yeah, great idea.

[pintobean]

16. It's easier than having to enforce the laws.

Who cares about the civil liberties of the people of Ferguson?

[Starry Messenger]

22. Nothing good happens after midnight?

Were you a hermit as a youth?

[cwydro]

25. Does no one care about the business owners in this town?

The troublemakers (not the demonstrators) will be out to cause trouble and loot.

The police cannot respond for obvious reasons.

This may save lives and certainly help the store owners.

We had curfews in my town in my childhood days. I remember it well. When violence becomes so imminent. people have a right to be protected.

I think a good part of DU just wants to see more unrest and rioting. Sadly I think this is true.

Remember what happened to Reginald Denny and other innocents caught up in the riots in LA? Does anyone truly want this?

Who wants more violence?

[Starry Messenger]

32. They need to arrest Wilson.

All of this idiocy about imposing martial law and quelling "rioting" with insane military force is what is upsetting people. The police need to follow the damn laws and pursue this case for what it is: one of their officers shooting an unarmed man and then dragging their feet.

The police could help save lives by you know, not shooting unarmed people. That would totally uphold people's rights to be protected AND keep anyone from being killed.

The COPS are the ones who ARE the violence.

[RKP5637]

35. Agree! n/t

[pintobean]

33. The Reginald Denny beating happened

at 6:46 p.m. A curfew wouldn't have prevented it.

[Warren Stupidity]

24. Reminds me of the people here who defended shooting survivors in New Orleans

because they were "vile looters".

With all due respect your post is a pile of entitled racist nonsense.

[yuiyoshida]

31. I AM PRETTY SURE there are HOSPITALS in that town..

Are you aware there are night shift workers as well as Nurses who work over night.. Are you going to tell them to go home and stay there because there is a curfew on, and what about those who get off at midnight, are you going to arrest them for going home after a hospital shift?

There are people who actually work after midnight..and they ARE NOT ALL COPS.

[catnhatnh]

34. Yep them uppity negroes need to learn

that sometimes SOME people are going to have to surrender (whoops) a few (more) civil rights so the good citizens of the town can feel safe...

[morningfog]

36. Thank you for finally dropping all pretenses.

Enjoy your stay.

[Depaysement]

38. I support what the people of Ferguson want

I don't know if curfew is really part of that.

I think they want justice not a curfew.
