D.C. Mayor Imposes Juvenile Curfew After Mobs Of Kids Wreak Halloween Night Havoc

The D.C. Mayor, who in 2020 renamed a stretch of 16th Street NW as Black Lives Matter Plaza to honor the now-discredited Marxist BLM nonprofit currently under federal investigation for alleged donor fraud, appears to have had another reality check.

“We are declaring a limited juvenile curfew in Washington, DC,” Bowser wrote on X on Saturday evening. 

She continued, “Effective immediately, all juveniles under the age of 18 are subject to a curfew from 11PM until 6AM, which will extend through 11/5,” adding, “This is in response to several weeks of disorderly juvenile behavior which endangered both themselves and others.”

Mobs of lawless youth are nothing new across the D.C.-Baltimore metro area (read here & here), a region long controlled by far-left politicians who’ve robbed generations of kids of a real education (read report) while enriching the Democratic Party and its corrupt unions. This cycle of progressive destruction is financially crushing the Mid-Atlantic, particularly Maryland, as its unfolding fiscal crisis deepens. It’s time for reform. Some of the first political cracks first appeared in Maryland’s third-largest county on Friday (read the report).
