Curfews In Cairo to Manage Violent Protesting?

Written in October, 2011:
 

I wonder how the newly imposed curfews are working out in Cairo, Egypt right now?
The protesting has reached the level of severe beatings, driving over humans,murdering and a curfew is imposed to "manage" this?
I am inclined to think that if many are capable of such violence to express feelings of oppression, beliefs, principles, etc., a curfew would be rather ineffective and certainly not going to abate this situation.

"Hummm...I better stop bludgeoning this guy right now and go retrieve my machete- it's time to go in!
Maybe If I leave now, I'll have enough time to stop and pick up some cheap Take-Out Kabobs for the wife and kids!"

Good luck with that...
