re: 10:00 p.m. Curfew to Remain in EBR Thursday Night

Why not have a curfew for the area south of greenwell springs Rd, east of airline, and north of the southern parish boundary? Add in the communities in the north part of the parish and call it a day.

Louisiana and its local governments are not capable of effective governance.

Proof?

Not quite sure how to give you proof of conversations I had.

But you can go to the Shell on coursey near Sherwood commons and talk to the lady behind the counter. Or just look at the plywood over the window next to the door.

I'd fully support a class-action lawsuit being brought against EBRSO for imposing unnecessary economic hardship on BR residents and employees affected by their loss of wages and/or customers.

What regular businesses/restaurants are open past 10 on a weeknight? Bars are the only thing open on Thursday past 10, and I'm sure they'll more than make up for it this weekend.

They put a curfew tomm night at 10, then you may have a legit gripe.

I'm not an attorney but I agree with you. How can the sheriff (an enforcement agent) unilaterally change the law and prevent citizens from leaving their home.

Last night, I tried to go to the gas station and the CVS by my house at 8:45 and both were closed due to the curfew. Businesses don't just turn off the lights and lock the door when they leave. They have to count the till and fill out closing paperwork, clean the place, and many have to make a nightly bank deposit. Restaurants and bars normally take longer than an hour to close up due to cleaning procedures.

What percentage of people in BR work after 10 on a Thursday night? Maybe 5% on the high side?

What percentage of people in BR are looters?

Walmart, gas stations, and fast food business alone outnumbers the traffic all the bars combined get on any given weeknight.
