Freeport News Network

It's funny how not even two weeks ago you were encouraging us to sign a petition to open up the town because being forced to stay at home was tyrannical, but now you're okay with it because a entire culture is tired of being oppressed and you don't wanna have to face the reality that times are changing...even if you're not.

I'm jus going to laugh at this post because what I really want to say to this insensitive prick is to much for fb

Or better yet today in the port...2000 Freeport citizens standing quietly with the protestors and showing support for their message...2000 Freeport citizens coming out and marching with. Wouldnt that be a lot more beneficial than the divisive act of standing behind the police. And then maybe some officers and mayor and other city officials walking with the protestors... showing support and solidarity and maybe even...hold on...imagine this... speaking to the group and committing to join forces to work toward progress.

So with the curfew are we allowed to travel to work before or after curfew. If so someone I work with Someone on way to work he starts at 11 pm he got pulled over and issued a ticket he had his work badge and slip of paper saying the hours he worked

Only fucking Greg would take this situation and make it about him. Im BeiNg HeLd HoStAgE. Shut the fuck up.

Freeport is part of America so therefore national news is Freeport’s news just like national issues are Freeport’s issues. How can we stay the way we are as the rest of the world is fighting to make the world more safe for EVERYONE and not just people of privilege. Seems impossible to me to stay the same and never change throughout history. One day the sun will die and the earth will die with it so why don’t we make the world we currently have a safer place for everyone to live on?

Today in the Port has certainly shown it's true colors. Now it's a matter of what people do about it.

What a strange and cynical commentary by the author of this. Peaceful protesting is our first amendment right to freedom of speech and assembly. Get a backbone

I think the whole nation is under this! Not just Freeport. The whole nation. Is fighting for justice. This has been wrong for years everywhere. Stand up !!

All I know is even here we have a corrupt system that took THREE people that I can think of for no reason. Right here in Freeport.

I stand with "today in the port"! Agree 💯 percent with what you said!

I am so encouraged by the comments I am seeing reacting to this extremely ignorant post. Today In The Port doesn’t want to understand nor care about the issue this country is dealing with. That’s ok though. There are plenty of people who do get it. We will all get together and make progress and leave ignorant people as yourself behind and in the past hopefully once and for all.

Easy unfollow, most protests are peaceful. WE ALL have the right to assemble no matter your location in this country

Those who are disappointed in the content of Today in the Port have the option to delete That's what I'm doing.

Every town that had police unjustly murder someone has thought, “it can’t happen here.” How long do you think it’s going to be before it happens in Freeport? We are not immune to systemic racism or police brutality.

Today in the port starts more crap than the people themselves. Try to get people to go against each other. Everybody has their own opinion. We have more robberies on a daily basis than what these so called looters have done. I wish they would go this hard to catch them and prevent some of the other things that go on around here but they rather deal with the easier things. Lol like protesters. All I seen was a couple of broken windows what did they steal?

Guilt and Fear has downtown Freeport boarded up.

We just moved here from Minneapolis two months ago, I'm so happy to see all the comments from everyone in Freeport who understands why Minneapolis needs solidarity and support and what the bigger picture is. So glad to be part of this community.

Totally agree with the Protest just not the Looting and destruction.

Everyone is so focused on the looting and riots that are going on and seems to be up set. Most likely the things that where taking will be replace and it's all material things. Pretty sure the rioting will stop also but what about all the blacks lives that were taking by people who are suppose to serve and protect, they can not be replace. How do people compare this to a life. SO SAD

Sorry this is such an inconvenience to you, grow up and pay attention to the real issue here, it sure isn't a curfew, or protests, it's what they stand for.

I'm curious; does anyone know whether the original Rent-a-Mob contract is still in force? Or has it been extended/renewed? And is it open-ended, or is there relief in sight?

And there it is, one of the most ignorant "news" articles I've read this year; congratulations.

This isn't just about what happened in Minnesota. Yes a man died there. but it's about more than that it's about how tooo many police have no respect for lives, especially black lives. It's about how for the last over 200 years, and no one has ever done anything to change it. It doesn't matter what color you are, or what religion you are, you have the right to be listened to, to be respected, to be treated fairly by the police, by everyone you meet. If this doesn't make you livid then you haven't been listening to anything going on. Sorry but I am with them having the right to protest if they do it peacefully. They have the right to be heard by everyone.

Last time i checked it was the Mayor making the curfew, not protesters. "Held hostage " give me a break. Crybabyass.
