“..said they initially provided free food and drink to demonstrators..”
FIRST MISTAKE!
Once you begin an entitlement, it cannot be rescinded.
EVER! They have a RIGHT to your labor and property!
This is a small vignette of what is happening on a national and international scale.
The real working people of the world have supported the lazy mouth breathers for so long, they now think they are entitled to everything. When the free ride ends, they get angry and riot, destroying the very system that had supported them.
It has bred for generations slothful societal parasites that have infected the body of humanity.
Now the parasites have become an infestation that threatens the life of civilization itself..........
BUMP!!
Excellent observation!
