curfew-being-lifted
The Oklahoma Supreme Court on Friday ruled that President Trump’s upcoming
rally in Tulsa can go ahead as planned despite concerns about coronavirus
-- just as Trump announced that a curfew in the city had been lifted for
the rally.
“I just spoke to the highly respected Mayor of Tulsa, G.T. Bynum, who
informed me there will be no curfew tonight or tomorrow for our many
supporters attending the #MAGA Rally. Enjoy yourselves - thank you to
Mayor Bynum!” the president tweeted.

Bynum on Friday issued a statement and said he was "told the curfew is no
longer necessary."
"Last night, I enacted a curfew at the request of Tulsa Police Chief
Wendell Franklin, following consultation with the United States Secret
Service based on intelligence they had received,” he said in a news
release, the Tulsa World reported. “Today, we were told the curfew is no
longer necessary so I am rescinding it.”
Bynum, a Republican, had declared a civil emergency and announced a curfew
near the arena where Trump plans to hold a campaign rally on Saturday.
Bynum, in his order, said “in the interest of national security” he would
establish a “federal exclusion zone” in the vicinity of the rally. He
cited “crowds in excess of 100,000” and opposition protests as well as
recent “civil unrest” -- referring to protests in the wake of the death of
George Floyd that in the early days escalated into looting and violence in
some cities. Additionally, he had warned that he had information that
organized groups known for violence were traveling to the city “for the
purposes of causing unrest in and around the rally.”

He imposed a curfew in the vicinity of the rally from late Thursday night
to 6 a.m. on Saturday — the day of the rally — and from the conclusion of
the rally Saturday night until 6 a.m. on Sunday. But Trump announced that
it had been lifted -- a boon to the Trump supporters who have been camped
nearby in parking lots waiting for the rally.
Around the same time as his tweet, the state’s Supreme Court ruled against
the request to force everyone attending to wear a mask and stay at least
six feet apart from one another -- a policy that would have complicated
the massive event with thousands of people.

The court ruled that the two local residents among those filing the suit
couldn’t establish that they have a clear legal right to the relief they
sought. In a concurring opinion, two justices wrote that the state’s
reopening plan is “permissive, suggestive and discretionary.”
“Therefore, for lack of any mandatory language in the (plan), we are
compelled to deny the relief requested,” that opinion said.
The rally marks Trump’s first since the coronavirus pandemic shut down
much of the country. States are reopening, but many are doing so in phases
and requiring residents to wear masks and maintain social distancing.
The Trump campaign said it takes “safety seriously,” noting that
organizers are providing masks and hand sanitizer and doing temperature
checks for all attendees.
Earlier in the day, Trump pointedly warned “anarchists” and other
“agitators” not to disrupt the rally.
“Any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes who are going
to Oklahoma please understand, you will not be treated like you have been
in New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis,” Trump tweeted Friday. “It will be a
much different scene.”

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.
Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
5, 2020. "President Trump, Not Guilty."
