Reports from the City of Greensboro's #1 very own propaganda machine:
June 3, 2013 SNL Program Kicks Off Friday, June 7 announces thousands of kids will be invited Downtown.
June 6, 2013 Summer Night Lights invites teens Downtown
Festival Park, no fences, no walls, no ways to keep kids inside, no way to supervise the children dropped off there and no way to actually know how many children were dropped off at Festival Park to see an outdoor movie who quickly turned and ran towards the bright lights of Downtown.

In a press release circulated world wide the City of Greensboro shamelessly brags about the effectiveness of the curfew but later that same night more kids are arrested for fighting after the curfew than before the curfew. WTF?
Happens a lot to braggarts. Get back on the porch, Mayor Perkins.
For or against the curfew, it's not working, the issues haven't been addressed and the Greensboro City Council continues to blame kids for the mistakes made by political leaders. Typical of the cowardice that currently remains in charge of Greensboro City Government. These are self-inflicted wounds and it's time we stopped blaming the kids for stupid mistakes made by adults.
Eleven kids fighting is not a riot. Children running away from a fight (something good parents beg them to do) is not a riot. And yet one week ago today one sleaze bag club owner more concerned with profits than the welfare of Greensboro's children, gets on television, calls it a riot, a media feeding frenzy begins and a chicken shit City Council who helped to cause the problems in the first place by inviting children from the entire county to downtown, overreacts, blames everything on your children and takes it on their own to punish them.
It's called entrapment, do you plan to allow the Greensboro City Council to get away with entrapment against your children?
Solutions? I've plenty. But you'll have to read more that one blog post to find them.
