New York City, like other cities around the country, has a curfew imposed to limit protesters. Here’s a look at the last time that happened in Harlem in 1943

that at one point was upscale, but had become a location for prostitution. And there was a police officer stationed in the lobby because it was a known prostitution location. Somehow there was a dispute with this lady, the exact circumstances of the dispute are somewhat in dispute. But the bottom line was that at some point the police officer attempted to take the lady in question into custody, for disturbing the peace.

And then some rocks were thrown from the roof into the crowd gathered outside the hospital. And then the crowd, which was very massive, broke up and started wandering in packs of 50 to 100 people throughout Harlem, and busting up all the white-owned businesses. And that went on for two days. It was thousands and thousands of people involved in the riots. In 1943, of course, blacks were at best second-class citizens in Harlem. They knew this.

This Is What It Looked Like The Last Time New York City Had A CurfewRace and police brutality were at the root of the 1943 curfew, which was issued after a white police officer shot a black soldier and protests broke out. Oh fuck off with this. Don’t care any more. You lost most of America at Riot. If you want to destroy your Blue City, no one will stop you, no Cop, no Citizen. For them it is not worth fighting for. However, step outside of your Urban Zoo and it is over. We live in a very different America out here. Sad!!!!
