Philadelphia approves "permanent" 10 pm curfew
Jazz Shaw 2:31 PM on December 03, 2022


Every time you asked a Democrat or one of their MSM stenographers about the rising crime rates in America’s cities during the run-up to the midterm elections, you were told that it was a mirage. It’s not really that bad. These are just Republican talking points. New York’s Governor even expressed disbelief as to why anyone would even bring it up. Perhaps someone should point these people to the current situation in the City of Brotherly Love. (A tragically hilarious name given the current circumstances.) If things are going so well, why would the City Council vote to make the 10 pm curfew that was in place for almost everyone under the age of 18 all summer permanent? And yet that’s what happened on Thursday and one of the Democrats who voted in favor of the measure specifically called out the city’s rampant crime rates and the threat crime poses to her own child as the reason. (CBS Philadelphia)

    Philadelphia’s summertime curfew could soon become permanent. City council passed a bill Thursday afternoon that would make the summer curfew permanent.

    Councilmember Katherine Gilmore Richardson proposed the legislation and is a mother herself.

    Gilmore Richardson says her goal is to protect Philadelphia’s young people who all too often fall victim to the city’s violence.

    “There are too many young people who have been involved in crime or criminal incidents simply because they have been out late at night,” she said.

The curfew was put in place because more crime is committed under the cover of darkness. The curfew itself should be seen as a tacit admission that Philadelphia is simply too dangerous and the government is unable to keep its residents safe. Moving to make the curfew permanent is essentially another admission that they can’t (or won’t) do anything about it and things won’t be getting better any time soon.

Permanent curfew for minors under 18 y.o.?

Talk about a cop out.  Rather than address the problem, just cage 'em up.

Wonder if they have employment and emergency exemptions?

Whatever happened to midnight basketball? Did the thugs using it as skeet practice put an end to it?

Given that I have read about so many Philly cops putting in their retirement papers or just quitting and moving away to police jobs in other areas and states,just exactly  HOW do they plan on enforcing this?

I fail to see how a curfew works if you don't enforce the current situation in the first place.

Just like elections, defunding the police has consequences....
