That exact same shit happens if there's a virus or not. So, you're okay if the curfews are kept in place indefinitely because "anyone who's out and about during those hours is most likely up to no good?"

You witnessed this while hiding under your covers and calling 911 right? When seconds count, the police are just minutes away.

Well you know that giving up some of our rights for security is worth it. We all want to be safer.

The last time I saw something like that was a few years ago when a heroin addict went around trying door handles. Sadly he got lucky that time and found one that was unlocked. At least that neighbor learned their lesson, because all 3 of their vehicles were locked this time.
