Ha. Good point.
But seriously, are we just going to abandon all brick and mortar establishments and have complete anarchy? How will this ever end? Will they just move on to houses once all the stores are empty?

Go out. If the cops stop you, they'll ask you to go home. It's only after you disobey that you'll get issued a citation.

Lol at all the Karens jumping down that mom's throat for her daughter driving less than a mile near Western Ave yesterday.

Correct. Go out. Call it civil disobedience.

Most DC laws aren’t enforced even in regular times. Why would this be different?

No one wants any violence to erupt. If peaceful protestors are allowed to exercise their rights without being pushed around by authorities, they will eventually go home. If there are any acts of aggression by authorities, things will get crazy and tomorrow you can expect double the protestors.

Observing the curfew is clearly just for saps. I'm on my way to Maryland for a beer run.

Totally agree. She is basically saying, loot away. Enjoy the looting!

It seems that the only people who are observing the DC 7 pm curfew are law abiding residents of Upper NW who are foregoing their evening walks and pulling their kids and their bikes off of the sidewalks. Yet downtown and elsewhere the cops are not enforcing the curfew against the protestors, who surely will be followed by the looters.
Bowser is an embarrassing joke.
