Massive crowds of rioters mixed with protesters have filled the streets of Washington D.C. setting fires across the city. Curfew, set by D.C.’s radical Trump-hating mayor, Muriel Bowser began at 11 PM. Knowing how violent these protests have become, curfew should have started before sunset at 6 PM.
