| Message | The LIA doesn't agree with Article 1 and 4. Article 1 because without SOMEONE setting a curfew then how will law and order be established at night? Article 4 because WHY should we keep illegal aliens in integration centers and let them suck even MORE money out of the government coffers? Either send them back to their third world hellhole or shoot them! Bullets are cheaper than food. |

| Message | Dont be a nazi lady boy, LIA. Do you not understand that if a curfew was enforced most people will ignore that and go out anyway, and when they do, they are breaking the law, which is crime! So how exactly does that reduce crime? If a burgler was planning to break into someones home, do you think hed be scared of your crappy curfew? Tsch. |

| Message | The curfew will keep LAW ABIDING CITIZENS OFF THE STREETS! Then if we see anyone out passed curfew we will then know who are the criminals and treat them appropriately... With a bullet in the head! |
