Because, dude, liberals are in charge. In any situation, imagine the most effective common sense solution. Liberals will do the exact opposite.

Any rationale for looting and rioting crumbled when people learned what really happened in Minneapolis. I guess looters and rioters even have a semblance of a code.

The governments know it is time to round up these out of state criminals. It is going to start getting expensive. Butts in jail and permanent records to come. Breaking curfew just step one.Out of state people will be targeted just like traffic stops.

They got scared Americans were going to start committing Self Defense and then they would actually have to arrest someone.

They probably just went to Wisconsin for the change of scenery.

They stuck with the Let It Burn strategy until polls started to indicate that was helping Trump.

Bet the civilian shooting of the rioters may have had something to do with it?

You know the MSM will tout Biden’s plea for calm as the catalyst for cooperation. Joe has more appeal to those disenfranchised protesters who feel like they’re not being heard. yada, yada, yada

The only reason a curfew may have worked, is if the Commie Rat politicians coordinated with and got agreement with the Commie Rat party paramilitary wing of their Commie Rat party for the later to stand down as it was hurting them politically.

Just remember that this is part of a coordinated effort by the pols and media in reaction to the bad polling. don lemonhead let the cat out of the bag in his panicked plea for the rioters to stop.

The memos went out to the media, and more importantly, (via chicom tik tok?) to the paid soros block captains and mercs on site to direct the rioters to tone it down.

Everything happening is coordinated.

I don’t think it was the curfew.

I think the money’s stopped flowing.

Notice that this happened right after two of their guys were killed outright and third was seriously injures.

Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero for his public service in Kenosha, we need more ‘kids’ like him.

It seems that the word has gone out that the looting and rioting is hurting Democrats and helping Republicans in the polls.

To Democrats the looting and rioting per say are not bad. That the polls are turning against them is bad. Their strategy of promoting destruction and chaos is backfiring.

No doubt they will be back with their “brown shirt” tactics in another form.

"I think the money’s stopped flowing."

We need a serious investigation of the spigot flow control.

“What took them so long” is that they were waiting for Don Lemón to give them the high sign to cut it out. I’ll bet troops were more persuasive than curfews.

While congratulations are in order, the obvious question hanging over this scene is what took them so long.


Easy answer. Politics. They thought this benefited their election chances. They now realize what most of us have known for months - this is awful optics for the democrat party.

Curfews work if they are enforced.
