Crime-ridden Arkansas town expands 24-hour curfew

Quote:
"As far as I'm concerned, at 3 o'clock in the morning, nobody has any business being on the street, except the law," Councilman Eugene "Red" Johnson said. "Anyone out at 3 o'clock shouldn't be out on the street, unless you're going to the hospital."


I usually do my shopping around 3 am...

Best way to get rid of drugs and crime?

Legalize recreational drugs.

X2 Take the profit out of it and the symbiotic crime will disappear as well. Unfortunately that would shrink several someones' bureaucratic empire, so it will never happen.

I just read this article. Sounds like a scary area. I wouldn't be doing my grocery shopping at 3 a.m there!

It's 3am now. Maybe I should go for a walk. Say, where did I leave my crowbar... :P

The above is a joke.


Seriously, I sometimes walk in the night. It's nice to get away from people, yet still enjoy the outdoors and even see the stars sometimes.

It won't get rid of crime. Just get rid of the violent drug-related crime. Drug use (hard drugs) shouldn't be considered a crime, but a public health problem.
