Village President of Antioch Initiates Emergency Curfew Order

From the Village of Antioch:

Emergency Curfew Order

August 26, 2020

Dear community member-

As communicated to our community earlier today, our police department has identified several social media posts which indicate the Village of Antioch may be the target of unknown groups wishing to incite civil unrest, as a result of incidents taking place last night in Kenosha, WI

As your Mayor, I take my responsibilities very seriously, and none more so than keeping our community safe for all. Throughout today’s recent events, I have remained in constant communication with our police department and Village leadership. Through my discussions with the Chief of Police and Village Administration, I have considered all available information in a deliberate and thoughtful manner in order to lead me to making the best decisions for our Village.

In the current situation, based on a thorough evaluation of potential threats of civil unrest in our Village, and the potential for such a situation to create very a tense and potentially volatile environment, I have determined it is in the best interest of our community to issue an Emergency Curfew Order. This will be in effect only as long as necessary, and until this threatening situation no longer poses a threat to Antioch. The implementation of this curfew will assist our police department in allowing them to remain focused on what is most important right now, the protection of our town.

As such, I declare and order that a curfew is hereby imposed on all persons within the Village effective from 8:00pm through 7:00am each day, until further notice. The need for the any continuation of the curfew will be continually evaluated, and I call on our community to understand the need for this measure.

Yours in service-

Lawrence M. Hanson

Mayor, Village of Antioch

Village President of Antioch Initiates Emergency Curfew Order — 24 Comments

  1. And the democrats think supporting this rioting and looting is somehow going to to win them an election?

  2. For all the money these Kenoshans pay in taxes every year, it’s pretty freaking sad that they have to arm themselves and defend their own businesses as the Democrats remain completely silent about the rioting and lawlessness.

  3. The answer to some of these idiotic decisions made by these so-called public safety officials in Kenosha can be found in their professional biographies.

    Sheriff Beth is an elected official.

    Beth was a patrol officer for 7 years.

    After that Beth was a DARE officer…till he ran for the position of Sheriff.

    A DARE officer works inside a school.

    It is usually a full-time appointment and funded by state and federal monies.

    A DARE job is viewed as a very cushy, day job, with weekends and holidays off….unlike a street patrol officer that works all shifts, weekends and holidays.

    So basically Sheriff Beth is a career cop who has had a cream puff position most of his LE career… till he became the Sheriff.

    Good luck to you folks in Kenosha.

    You get what you paid for.

    He actually went after and tried to disarm dozens of store owners and business men intent on protecting their property from pampered welfare scum and imported Antifa fomenters.

    That white kid up on murder charges was merely defending himself.

    WATCH THOSE VIDEOS!

  4. Former Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel comes to mind.

    And we have our little Prim who is caving on ICE.

    But he wants to know who has COVID 19, and who said bad things on this blog about BLM!

    The right to defense of life and property is the most bedrock, foundational ideal America has.

  5. Revolution is a two way street.

    Once the fires really start there will be no one to put them out.

    Could get very ugly.

    Last Civil War cost over 600,000 young men their lives.

    Next one will not be only young men but will include the entire population as participants.

    Woodstock is ready to blow right now.

    Rockford.

    Waukegan.

    Elgin.

    All powderkegs.

    If not now, the day after the election!

  6. Neal, the Democrats have never supported riots or looting – you know better.

  7. “DEMOCRATS have never supported riots or looting” – that’s a LIE and you know better.

    Not one DEMOCRAT has publicly denounced the actions of BLM of Antifa.

    DEMOCRATS are so desperate to beat Trump that they are willing to destroy entire cities
    in their insane quest for power and control, and in doing so they guarantee Trump a glorious victory.

    For that I thank them profusely.

  8. What about the sports team players going on strike?

    Seems that the tail is wagging the dog?

  9. Democrats support Justice…something we take serious in the Pledge of Allegiance.

    Unlike the GOP who turn a blind eye to Justice…unless its vigilante justice.

  10. Revolution is a two way street.

    Once the fires really start there will be no one to put them out.

    Could get very ugly.

    Last Civil War cost over 600,000 young men their lives.

    Next one will not be only young men but will include the entire population as participants.

    Woodstock is ready to blow right now.

    Rockford. Waukegan.

    Elgin.

    All powderkegs.

    If not now, the day after the election!

  11. Sure you do DMAC57.

    Court records show there was an active warrant against Mr Blake related to charges of sexual assault, trespassing and disorderly conduct.

  12. Reckless and grossly incompetent Democrat mayors of cities such as Portland, and their equally reckless Democrat governors, condone and encourage violence, looting, arson and anarchy by their inaction. These fools have failed to provide adequate policing, national guard and have not requested assets from the federal government to stabilize and bring order to their cities.

    Democrats anywhere and everywhere cannot not be trusted in these times to maintain law and order. Many of them around our nation have made ridiculous statements supporting the reduction or elimination of police forces where actually more police are needed in most places of the US to assure law and order and a stable society.

    The situation in our nation will get worse if the Dufus dementia Biden and his far left wing extremist vp candidate win the election in November. Biden is mentally challenged, a doddering old fool, who will succumb to the demands of crazy left wing extremists of our nation who want a socialist/marxist form of government.

  13. If the democrats don’t support the riots and looting why will they not say so publicly, or do anything about it.

    I’m not the only one accusing them of this.

    The GOP has now been accusing them of it for the last three nights now.

    If this isn’t the position of the Biden Harris ticket, why don’t they say so?

  14. Law abiding and patriotic Americans can say goodbye to any group, such as sports franchises, who support outlandish demands and groups. People can find better things to do with their lives than watching spoiled and very rich players in baseball, football and basketball opining on tv. A mixed blessing with this China virus thing is that fans of major sports cannot buy tickets and go to games and thus support the salaries of these very rich spoiled sports guys.

    People want to watch professional sports on tv to relax, have fun, get away from the rigors of everyday life. People do not want to listen to the political or other thoughts of sports players.

    With ticket sales at zero, no concession or parking revenue at venues and maybe diminishing tv ad revenue, will major sports teams wither away? If that happens, then the players can go find real job and do real work rather than playing children’s games.

  15. They said: “unknown groups wishing to incite civil unrest”.

    They know who they are.

    That’s like how USA-hating Ilhan Omar said: “Some people did something”.

  16. Speaking of Democrats, piece of garbage Nancy Pelosi said today that Joe Biden should not do any debates with Trump. She apparently wants him to continue hiding in his basement until the November election afraid that he will make moronic statements or give stupid answers to questions in a debate. Perhaps similar to a 2019 Democrat debate wherein he advised parents to turn on the “record players” at night for their children. Or, Joe could get mad at Trump and call him out to a dock to do push ups or a fist fight. Or, Joe could get mad at a woman asking debate questions and call her a “dog faced pony soldier”.
