> we violate curfew Why?

  > Why? Why not? Curfews are ridiculous, authoritarian measures taken to curb "improper" activities not associated with walking a dog.

    Alternative point of view: they are a mitigation for the fact that many people cannot be trusted to behave sensibly (in terms of protecting society at large from this pandemic) if large numbers of people are out and about at night, and it is not feasible to check each individual's activities to assess whether they're "improper".

  Without anymore context, I'll assume that he's referring to a logic lacking covid curfew in the US. Those might make sense for dense downtown districts with bars, but almost nowhere else

    In Germany, we have a curfew in place after 21:00 in the evening (with exceptions to go to work, visit doctors/veterinarians and other immediate needs). The goal was not to prevent people from going to bars since these are closed/take away for months now anyway, but rather to discourage people from visiting friends.

  Perhaps because COVID is not more prevalent at night? Or maybe GP feels that walking ones dog at 11:45pm is safer than walking it when more people are outside? Or perhaps they are sociopathic maniacs who look for nonsensical regulations they can violate with impunity. Who cares why, and what business is it of yours?

    Agreed, and that also raises the question of why the original poster chose to include the bit about breaking curfew in the first place. The comments stands up just fine without it, it's not important to the story they were telling, and all it's done is created an irrelevant, pointless subthread. And I am a part of the problem for contributing to it.

  Classic swallowing of bait haha. Surely you could have guessed why.
