Protesters Kenosha lawsuit curfews, protests and unrest in the community

 Protesters Kenosha lawsuit curfews, protests and unrest in the community.

Wisconsin protesters have filed a lawsuit in federal court against the City of Kenosha after a week of protests and unrest in the community.

Due to the unrest, the City of Kenosha issued a curfew every night of 7 p.m. Now, however, four people are arguing in a lawsuit filed against the city that the curfew wasn't lawful.

According to the lawsuit filed Tuesday, the protesters believe the curfew infringed on their First Amendment right. The plaintiffs are identified as Danica Gagliano-Deltgen of Wauwatosa County; Oscar Walton of Milwaukee; Adelana Akindes of Kenosha; and Victor Garcia of Kenosha.

Several of the plaintiffs stated in the lawsuit that they attended protests in Kenosha and were arrested for breaking the curfew. However, they insist in the lawsuit that they were all taking part in peaceful protests.

"The Kenosha curfew begins at 7 p.m. and lasts until 7 a.m. Starting the curfew at just after work appears more aimed at silencing speech than in pursuit of any substantial governmental interest," the plaintiffs argue.

The mother of one of the plaintiffs spoke with reporters last Thursday and said she doesn't understand why her daughter was arrested. She said her daughter had been protesting peacefully and did nothing wrong.

 True size megalodon shark, artistic reconstruction of a 16-meter adult. The true size of a  gigantic prehistoric  megalodon shark that ruled the oceans millions of years ago has been revealed for the first time -- and it had teeth as big as hands, and a fin as tall as a human adult. Researchers at the University of Bristol, in southwestern England, and at the Swansea University, in south Wales, used mathematical calculations to work out the size of the  megalodon  shark from rare fossil remains of its teeth. The findings were published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports. Researchers told CNN that the giant shark species would have grown up to 18 meters (59 feet) in length and weighed about 48 tons, which is larger than any other shark known to have existed and more than twice the size of a great white shark. With teeth as big as human hands, it would have had a bite force of more than 10 tons, dwarfing that of a  great white shark's  bit...

Tropical Storm Nana, cyclones active in the Atlantic. Tropical Storm Nana has formed in the Caribbean Sea on Tuesday afternoon and is on a west-northwest track towards Belize and Honduras. Tropical storm watches are already in effect for the coasts of Honduras and Belize. Nana is expected to strengthen as it inches closer to land due to low wind shear and warmer waters, and it could potentially reach hurricane strength before making landfall in Central America. Forecast track for Tropical Storm Nana. Meanwhile off the coast of North Carolina, Tropical Depression Fifteen will stay offshore as it moves to the east-northeast at 14 mph. There's a chance it could organize further into a tropical storm today, but those odds appear low at this time. The depression is more than 100 miles east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The main impact to land is swells causing dangerous rip currents in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. If it does become a tropical storm,  the next name on the list ...
