Curfew
    #27028324 - 11/08/20 10:23 AM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Just got an emergency message about it here in RI. 10:30-5am, due to COVID or course. Which fucking sucks because I'm a night owl and very often walk the dog until midnight-1am.

Anyone else under a curfew?

I know when we had a curfew here for a short while it was mainly for things like parties, stores, and restaurants. Walking and driving and stuff was fine, it was more just a way to limit gatherings. Not sure if RI is the same.

We've had curfews several times where I live in North Carolina due to protesting/rioting.

It's a weird feeling to essentially be under house arrest at night unless you have a really good reason.

They just implemented it today. For two weeks apparently - once I read into it further - but it also says they'll be implementing new measures in that time if case count keeps rising.

I'm not going to abide by it, and will see what comes of that. Hopefully having a dog by my side if I get pulled over will be a good barrier from persecution for breaking it.

I have not heard of anything like that where I am but it doesn't surprise me. This whole thing is all about control. Little by little so subtle people don't even reize they are going from free range humans to penned. I hope there's serious push back from the citizens in your area so this toxic philosophy doesn't spread.

In the middle of the night, your chance to get Covid is smallest.

This is riot prevention, it has nothing to do with Covid.

Exactly late at night people take their outdoor exercise.

agreed, it is not for covid at all, and that is fairly creepy but understandable, strange for RI though, which voted blue and is not what i would call a major target for unrest, unless there is information not being shared with the public

i would do one of two things personally, stay inside and sleep in the middle of the night as usual throughout my life, or sit in a tree camouflaged and wait/watch

Boston Dynamic, these are amazing, i think if everyone had one we could sleep better at night

better yet, like 3 to 7 of them, short of an RPG or a straight up drone attack or MOAB, these things will repel 99.9% of all fuckery to person-on-person hostility

but if the code got hacked, that would be a mess

Rick Blaine: When you get there ask me!
Capt. Louis Renault: Hmmmh! Diplomats!
Maj. Heinrich Strasser: How about New York?
Rick Blaine: Well there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to invade.

I just got through three months of curfew here in Melbourne Australia. Was 9pm to 5am supposedly to stop unmonitored late night movement and gatherings when we had a 5km travel limit to prevent covid spread.
Yes it is a strange feeling to live like that, shit seriously sucked. It makes you feel like a criminal when you haven't actually done anything, thinking that something simple like going to buy late night food or cigarettes could get you a $1400 fine.
In the end though it all must've worked because we now have 0 cases in my state...

I don't think so man; RI is not exactly a hot spot for such things.

Some further reading confirmed the fact that it is not actually enforced - the fine print is calling it 'advised' - but I'm sure the emergency alert that came through to every mobile phone registered in RI this morning with the word 'Curfew' on it will be be enough to keep a significant number of people off the streets between 10pm and 5am every night for the foreseeable future.

It's concerning to me inasmuch as it's a prime example of that slow and steady desensitization to further controlling people that COVID has proven such a prime motivator and opportunity for. Just one more subtle erosion of freedom. However at the same time, one cannot argue with this:

I mean I gotta give it to you guys over there, that's mighty fucking impressive in times like this. Proves without a shadow of a doubt that if people would just work together and make a sacrifice for each other, that we really can stop this thing dead in its tracks.

Not that that's possible now in this country, but I sincerely hope you guys manage to eradicate it over there.

Just one more reason why Australia is my home - the place where I will settle and get old and die - because the sense of togetherness people have there is like no other westernized country in the world. Congrats man.

Yeah I don't know where to draw the line, either. Like...as soon as you tell people what the best practice is to eradicate this, at least 25% of them deliberately will do the opposite because fuck you that's why.

You didn't read my last post. It is 'advised', not enforced, so no fines to worry about.

I don't see how me walking my dog alone at midnight in a deserted location puts anyone at increased risk.

I'm all for doing what needs to be done to lower transmission rates, but stopping people from doing that makes no sense whatsoever.

Your state has lit model itself off my states system the curfew is for bars restaurants and businesses and to stop "ghetto" people from hanging out all night on street corners partying and whatever.  if people don't abide by them they will start fining people thousands of dollars each. But thats doesn't mean some mighty mom won't get thier panties in a bunch and call the cops on you for walking ur dog.

Well like I say, I think most here will assume it is mandatory and not optional, so I hope we'll be able to avoid it becoming a fineable event.

I'll post an update on this thread when I've had a chance to see what it's like out there at night this week.

Yeah I don't know where to draw the line, either. Like...as soon as you tell people what the best practice is to eradicate this, at least 25% of them deliberately will do the opposite because fuck you that's why.

I'm all about personal freedoms, but at the same time, I want this shit over with and am getting less and less patient with adults who are acting like cranky toddlers at naptime.




Don't misunderstand the situation here though, there is serious economic carnage and lots of people lost work for months, some lost their jobs entirely and there are many small businesses that didn't survive and yes there was about 25% of the population with the "fuck you, mah freedums" attitude.
From conspiracy nuts to science deniers to the downright pigheaded selfish ones who simply wouldn't go without a few luxuries in order to save lives, we had it all. I was quite ashamed of the division, hate and ignorance being displayed by my fellow Aussies for a while there.

There were a few poorly organised protests, there were people refusing to wear masks even though it was mandated and enforced with fines, we had several businesses opening in defiance of lockdown and there were campaigns on both social and mainstream media encouraging people to defy the law and deny the necessity of the harsh measures.

Murdoch media really got behind the "Dictator Dan" and Chairman Dan" campaigns here, using Nazi and communist Chinese imagery and slogans to portray our Premier (state leader), Dan Andrews, as a fascist oppressor trying to ruin the economy and lock people inside for no reason. Lots of the social media stuff was actually traced to anonymous bots and fake accounts from overseas too, simply trying to stir up the populace for whatever reason :shrug:

We were lucky in that we had a state leader who stuck to his plan despite all the slander, lies and even death threats sent to him. He actually had to put his family in witness protection and was under armed escort to and from his daily media conference for the last month or so...

So yeah, it wasn't all the state arm-in-arm working together but we did get there despite the setbacks
