Supporters can cheer on President Trump, but then they better get home.
Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum, a Republican, declared a civil emergency Thursday and announced a curfew near the arena where Trump plans to hold a campaign rally on Saturday.
Bynum cited recent “civil unrest,” expected “crowds in excess of 100,000” in the vicinity of the rally and opposition protests in his decision to place a federal exclusion zone for a six-block radius near the arena.
“I have received information from the Tulsa Police Department and other law enforcement agencies that shows that individuals from organized groups who have been involved in destructive and violent behavior in other States are planning to travel to the city of Tulsa for purposes of causing unrest in and around the rally,” Bynum wrote in the executive order.

Sounds like this will protect the rally and keep the rioters from harming Trump supporters. The mayor is also ordering police to do their jobs.
So then I guess that only Antifa or anyother protester or anti American can riot, loot and burn down property. I also can guess that if we want to take a few blocks in Seattle they may now be open . This has really gone off the rails absurd. Playgrounds are being shuttered and BLM can paint their logo on city streets. Go figure. Maybe we can call ourselves AMERICA AND ALL LIVES MATTER but then we may not get in anywhere. I am as are many, sick of the double standard and do not believe that the COVID virus is the threat now that it may have been. Yes I knew 2 who died of it and i am not trying to make fun of it but ITS GOTTEN TO THE POINT NOW OF BEYOND ABSURD.
