A peaceful protest was held yesterday in downtown Sonora. Residents have been holding their breath, especially after out of town guests checked into the local hotels. A curfew was put in place after the Sonora City Council held an emergency meeting, the subject was the Black Lives Matter protest held at the Courthouse Park. In a unanimous vote the council approved a curfew that will run overnight from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m., effective immediately, but could be extended.
It saddened me greatly to read this post on social media:
“To the kid that thought it was perfectly ok to get out and smash in the window of the car sitting in the Twain Harte market parking lot…you and the others in the car should be ABSOLUTELY ASHAMED of yourself. Kid had to have been between the ages of 12-15. Sad, this small town will not deal with that kind of behavior…uncalled! Report was made. Learn to have respect for others property.”
Here is the story… Black Lives Matter Protest in Sonora, links to videos included.
It’s a shame that people can’t behave themselves. I don’t know if this was a related incident but I hope the police apprehend the individual and prosecute the person to the fullest extent of the law.
What really upsets me the most is all these people protesting that don’t even have…or want…the full story.
What you don’t know about George Floyd and more… Why he had to die.

Update:
Fast forward just a couple days and now we know that the new Contact Tracing feature imposed by Apple and Google, who promised it would never be used for any reason other than tracing COVID19, is actively being used by local governments to track and arrest “protesters.” That didn’t take long.
