Now in New York, the parade starts at about 8 pm every afternoon. There is a curfew after 8pm, so (night) no legal processions. There are almost tens of thousands of legal marches every day during the day, and almost everyone walks around, always saying the slogan "no justice no peace".
【Explanation】Guo Jierui said that the new US pneumonia epidemic is not over yet. A large number of people will adversely affect the prevention and control of the epidemic, but the specific data is still unknown. In addition, the crowds demonstrating and demonstrating have affected the business operations of the merchants, and the act of "scattering, robbing, and robbing" by the criminals has also caused security problems.

New York has not resumed work, but now we have a curfew at 8 pm, so many restaurants need to be closed earlier? It should affect the business of many restaurants. Recently, the restaurant business has been very bad. New York is fine during the day, most people are peaceful, but many peaceful people go home at night, and many people who don’t go home want to do bad things, such as the day before yesterday many people (want to) go to New York for famous shopping The center is called Macy's.
[Commentary] As of June 3, local time, protests have spread to at least 140 cities across the United States. Iron nets have been erected outside the White House, and national guards have been deployed in many places. In Guo Jierui's view, various reasons led to the continued fermentation of this protest.

The main reason is that there are problems of racial discrimination throughout the United States, and there are problems of violent law enforcement by the police. We often have such anti-racial discrimination demonstrations in the United States. There have been many times before, generally peaceful, but this time it was very violent. I think it’s mainly because the first epidemic has kept everyone at home for 3 months and has been at home, which will make many people crazy. Second, our president often says something about racial discrimination, and many people are very dissatisfied. Third, the media, especially social media, let people only see what they want to see, without a very objective understanding of a problem, which will make people more and more extreme.
[Commentary] For the protests and demonstrations, Guo Jierui believes that the smashing and snatching activities need to be stopped, but the peaceful demonstrations help to make more people aware of the problem of racial discrimination and further find solutions.

I think they want more Americans to pay attention to the problem of violent law enforcement by the American police and the problem of racial discrimination in the United States, but they have no solution. I think the peaceful parade during the day can solve a problem, that is, many Americans feel that there is no racial discrimination in the United States, or this problem is very small, so they need to know before they can solve this problem.
