'Fine me!' Hundreds of Trump supporters gather in front of the Alamo to protest curfew
Before Thanksgiving weekend arrived, several health and government officials worried COVID-19 cases would see a dramatic surge in numbers.
Even here in San Antonio, Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff hoped to curb an already rising number of cases with a city-wide curfew from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. beginning Thursday all the way until next Monday.
The curfew specifically bans social gatherings, even in resident's backyards but still allows for curbside delivery and excuses essential work.
News of the curfew has seen mixed reactions from the general public but overnight Friday, several residents waving flags in support for President Donald Trump gathered at the Alamo to challenge this city-wide curfew.
One demonstrator even called out Mayor Nirenberg directly on the microphone in front of a large audience.
"Mayor Nirenberg, it's 11 p.m., we are outdoors doing a social gathering (this is illegal) I want you personally to come out here and fine me my $1,000, because guess what? I'm not even paying it anyway," the unidentified man said.
We're told residents started gathering around 11 p.m. and lasted until a little after midnight.
