No.

Has there ever been a black bar for a political thing or a terror attack or so? I don't think so.

Oh, I see. Thank you.

For anyone else confused, today is the first anniversary of the Charlottesville incident, where violence occurred between the "Unite the right" group, and a counter protest. A car was also driven into protesters, killing 1.

Today a state of emergency was put in place by the state, to give specific state powers to the police, to keep the peace.
