not seeing any other way to read mass arrests and looting downtown other than as a total clusterfuck; curfew appears to have escalated the situation radically.

Shocking!

it was a phenomenally dumb move. Sounds like a major peaceful protest in Brooklyn came off without a problem but Manhattan got ugly.

and now these fuckers are going to stage an 8pm curfew for tuesdayi am in full on "can't sleep clown will eat me" mode. no idea how this city and its people are going to recover over the next few weeks.

the areas being hit - soho, union square, herald square - are predominantly the homes of the rich and hang out spots for tourists and knucklehead teenagers; it's gotta be like 95% the latter doing the looting.
Feels like a very organized effort tonight - kids have turned up with hammers and big bags, they have spotters on the corners and cars ready to go. Group of about 500 kids now running up Fifth Ave looting whatever they want pic.twitter.com/vP97YCLis7— Rachel Olding (@rachelolding) June 2, 2020

which is to say - and i know i'm preaching to the choir here but it feels worth noting - that the protestors are not driving or motivating this looting
Some young men just tried to loot an Aldo on 5th Ave when other protesters grabbed them, pulled one guy out the store window, and made them stop. An argument about looting then ensued. #NYCProtest #GeorgeFloyd pic.twitter.com/cQaG7GHMtR— Liam Stack (@liamstack) June 1, 2020

I’m rooting for the looters. Those kids are having fun out there.

i could give a shit about macy's but those kids having fun out there are allowing nyc residents and world media to associate anti-brutality protests with smash-and-grab robberies which couldn't be more counterproductive.
bonus: a significant number of those kids having fun out there are gonna get their heads cracked open and/or potentially catch a felony when nypd decides to go over the tapes.

and hey not for nothing but given that we've all been in full quarantine lockdown in this city for nearly three months and we've just had a buffet of local violent attacks by the cops on protesters, maybe full-on fucking looting in manhattan is maybe a bit more anarchy than any of us are down for at this precise moment.

not sure i understand the purpose or efficacy of curfews given the past few days, other than terrorizing your own populace of course

An emotional @NYPDChiefofDept tells @JoshEiniger7 that it’s time to get the agitators “out of here” - “from California, from all over this country, who are being paid to take this movement, which is a good movement, and turn it into violence.” @ABC7NY pic.twitter.com/Zz87dA3UDT— Morena Basteiro (@morenabasteiro) June 1, 2020

Zephyr for mayor
"Under a Program presented by de Blasio, police spending accounted for only 0.3 percent of out-year budget savings; 34 percent of the spending reductions came from … cuts to education." Can we get to 2/3rds of the Council for a just budget?https://t.co/NKcNsgzfgO— Zephyr Teachout (@ZephyrTeachout) June 2, 2020

At Barclays Center now. Very calm situation. So far, the curfew is certainly helping, based on everything I’ve seen in Brooklyn and Manhattan over the last three hours.— Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) June 3, 2020
