The thugs were easily caught and arrested since they were using their walkers and golf carts to flee. The protests have been limited to the evening hours because most of the lawbreakers either had doctor’s appointments during the day or rioting would have interfered with their naps.

The marches didn’t last that long because many of the demonstrators had to get home to pee. In many cases, the demonstrators simply forgot why they were even there. Officials considered a curfew starting at 9 p.m. But since that’s the time when most of the residents go to bed anyway, it was decided that it wasn’t needed.

Community leaders concluded that part of the problem was that residents were restless because they had too much time on their hands since the recreation centers, pools, theaters, boutique stores and especially the bars were closed due to the coronavirus.

Community officials wanted to form a committee to look further into the problem, but no one would volunteer due to social distancing concerns.
Now that's funny!!!!!

More than likely it was live entertainment and dancing. The OP probably mistook it for rioting. Have you seen the way some of us dance? Easily mistaken for rioting.

So sad for the few of you who didn't see this as funny. Life right now is way too serious 24/7 to stomp on something lighthearted. It was awful that someone yelled white power but who cares what CNN thinks of the villages. We know better. After all everyone out there also thinks it's the STD Capitol too. Great job OP!

Maybe the people who did not find this funny should not be reading posts in the “Just For Fun” forum. What do you expect to see here? The best comedy always involves current events. Geesh!
