Let’s hope this is a REAL CURFEW and not an yet another JOKE! Past curfews have been just that, a JOKE, all the rioters, looters, arsonists, murderers, etc. have had a free time going out and carrying out their criminal activities with the nation’s law enforcement just watching and not acting! Murder, arson, assault, etc. are serious criminal offenses and these criminal maggots have had a field day enjoying all that over the past 6 months freely and now it’s time to put a stop to all that – and very sternly at that!
This army and police is an utter joke, I am outside the country at the moment and you will not believe the contempt and the questions people in these countries ask about a police and army unable to protect vital government buildings though they have been deployed in advance to do exactly that. They make the whole country a bigger joke.
Huh! Suffering people going to the parliament armed with a JCB digger(On Youtube) !!!!
