Re: Nice Plant #7: Get me off of this planet
MSNBC reports the governor has declared a state of emergency and a curfew in effect from midnight to 5AM. There are observers from the ACLU (in easily mockable green baseball caps) and the New Black Panther Party (more thugs I'm sure) have asked for volunteers to help with crowd control. According to the MSNBC report, they have been out the past few nights directing traffic, keeping protesters organized and standing guard over buildings that were in danger of being looted.

MSNBC reports the governor has declared a state of emergency and a curfew in effect from midnight to 5AM. There are observers from the ACLU (in easily mockable green baseball caps) and the New Black Panther Party (more thugs I'm sure) have asked for volunteers to help with crowd control. According to the MSNBC report, they have been out the past few nights directing traffic, keeping protesters organized and standing guard over buildings that were in danger of being looted.
Toi Evans, 27, who has been on the front lines of the protests since they started, said she watched the bedlam unfold on Friday night from a beauty supply store, which she was helping to safeguard against looters. She said she supports the curfew after seeing looting overnight Friday.
“I’m all for it. From being out here the last few nights, that is about the time when most of the protesters leave. Midnight is when the looters and the criminals and all of the people who aren’t really about the cause come out,” Evans said, standing along W. Florissant Ave. with several hundred other protesters.
Evans said at one point around 3 a.m. Saturday, a group of looters became more aggressive toward her and the group guarding the shop.
“It was just time to go. I’m not willing to give my life for a piece of property I don’t own,” Evans said.
