mayor Mitch Colvin saw pictures on line of people at house parties and the like and has placed the city under a curfew from 9pm to 6am for the month of April.

I cannot adequately describe my disgust in an open forum
 
Even this I find moronic...they already made groups illegal, so get for that moronic reason, not someone running to the store or to help a relative.
 
FPD Chief Gina Hawkins is on the record this afternoon stating the curfew gives her officers the probable cause they need to pull over any vehicle on the road during curfew hours, and they will maximize enforcement.
I believe it is a class 2 misdemeanor, akin to a trespassing charge.

This will put a huge crimp in my plan to keep what little sanity I may have left!

When I get cabin fever, I hop in the car and drive....sometimes I end up in Fayetteville. At night, even. Then I turn around and come home.

It gets me out of the house for a couple of hours, and I'm not being around anyone, just blasting my stereo and minding my business......(sigh)

Bingo. And in doing so you risk zero infection - both for you or others. The only thing you risk is a traffic fatality and with less traffic even that is lower than normal.
 
...also prohibits ALL public and private gatherings regardless of number of people...again, he saw social media postings of someone that had a cookout during that nice weekend we just had...and, we’ll that just won’t stand either.

I thought I was the only one who did that.

I do it more since we bought the new car. It's too fun to not drive!

Millie ... you need a new Cabin Fever cure. Might I suggest a good fire bowl, comfortable Adirondack chair and your favorite adult beverage. Music is recommended and last night’s album was The Doors Strange Days with my single malt. And since I practice social distancing my wife and kid weren’t anywhere around. Just the dancing fire from the fire pit with the occasional crackle, smell of burning oak, Jim and crew playing and a smooth sip every so often.

Someone needs to run 24x7 drone coverage over this guy's (and cronies) houses. Because we know that the powers that be are living in squalor'd isolation.
 
Are people blowing up his phone lines and emails reminding him of his ignorance?

I exist outside of my home, therefore I am probable cause. Chief Hawkins' twist on Descartes.

I think the woods are too close to the house....and I have no fire bowl anyway.....
But I do have some adult beverages! And music. Good to go.

That sounds like a good plan. A trip to the mountains maybe in order this weekend.
 
so... you'll get pulled over and harassed just for driving into town to work your morning shift. awesome.
I was thinking with as many essential employees as there are, the belief that the act of driving is PC is uh, misguided. Courts are gonna love when this shows up.
 
I could do it...then just

BUSS OUT MY CAC CARD AND HOSPITAL BADGE....

“step off homie I’m on a mission”

Or just bust out your Multipass...every meat popsicle should have one

He also mentioned pics from an ATV park, remind me where there in an atv park in city limits? Unless he's talking about the young dindus blasting up and down cliffdale on atvs and dirtbikes.

I, like you, have no use for that waste of oxygen.
 
Seems a lot of the poor black folks here don't care. I went to the dump in Wendell Sunday and saw three cookouts on the way passing through Southside Zebulon... All way bigger than immediate family, lots of cars... Probably the same with white folks and the Hispanic crowd but they're not even trying to be discreet on the Southside...

Actually the atv park being referenced is in Linden, NC, wayyyyy out of the limitation of the office power.

Oh trust me, I know EXACTLY what he was referring to. Like you said, outside his kingdom and none of his damn business.

let's get this settled now...
Is there a local lawyer whose number I want to memorize before 9pm?

Hard to say who you can trust with the grin and grabs that go on here.
 
Hahahaha!!!! He's a damned good lawyer & has dirt on everybody who is somebody in the 'Ville.

A buddy of mine back when knew him well & recommended him to me.

Oh no doubt, hes a good attorney. I know a number of good attorneys around here but I'm not sure which I could count on to represent me to their fullest potential with things as they are.
 
@DrScaryGuy

Mike Boose if he's still practicing law.

Mike is a close personal friend. He and Donna both are our kind of Americans.

When I get home from WV, @hp468 why don’t we get <10 of our Cumberland homies together, and we’ll drink a beer and grill a burger and do a special Facebook live at 2101 hrs? Maintaining our 6’ social distancing of course. And, only those who don’t live in the city limits, cause, you know.... we would NEVER condone nefarious activity of any kind.....

Anybody got those big foamy middle fingers we could borrow?

What did they thinks was gonna happen with a curfew/lock down..
FWIW I wish I had a ATV
 
Modern problems require modern solutions.

25% of the population driving around is one but think about this for a moment. Mayor saw on social media gatherings that caused him to order the curfew. What would happen if a bunch of people posted pics of past gatherings like they were happening now. Mayor sees them and sends the cops only to find no one is there.


The 25% thing reminds me of the joke about the guy who gets pulled on the interstate speeding. Trooper stops him and he says everyone else was speeding too and you pulled me. Why didn't you pull them too? Troopers asked he the guy has ever fished in a pond. Guy says yes. Trooper says did you catch all the fish? Neither can I.
