        @k_ur_crazy @aterkel Pretty sure you can be charged with child cruelty in most states for knowingly putting your child in harm's way.

        @KeyboardKid206 @aterkel In fact, the peaceful protesters tend to think those who stay behind at night are unhelpful assholes.

        @KeyboardKid206 @aterkel No. Martial law and state of emergency powers are not the same thing. But thanks for playing.

        @aterkel Has anyone mentioned that a street demonstration at 10:00 PM is not a great place for a kid? Take him home! School tomorrow.
