While some would merely label the crowd "rowdy", I see in this story something more epic and malevolent: the utter implosion of my culture and the complete tearing of our social fabric, in that there are large demographic groups in our country who have absolutly no values or beliefs in common with me and the mainstream.
Waiting quietly in line for your turn? That's for suckers.
Civility and proper behavior are dying in America as we speak, and we are allowing it to happen right before our eyes, because we are afraid of being called racist.

It will not be a war between the rich and the poor, as some say.
It will be between those who work vs. those who take from others. I will be only too happy to participate in cleaning house.

Hey, I Buried My Guns, better start digging them up! There is no good end to what is happening in our country. I fear there is a war coming and there will be blood in the streets starting in the big cities. Detroit, Chicago, Philly, Pittsburg, LA, Oakland, D.C. etc.
Every large city with a high black population will experience riots and the usual looting and fires.
I’m not being racist, just being realistic.

Bingo. You got it.
I feel so sorry for my children to have to live in a culture such as ours is becoming. My 20 year old works in a pharmacy and she tells me stories of the rude, disgusting, defiant, and sometimes violent people who come off the nearby interstate highway into her store. Calling the police is a nearly daily occurrence and we live in the NorthWest portion of New Jersey, which is relatively rural compared to the rest of the state. I have purchased land in a remote area of a Western state and as soon as I can sell my home here we are getting out. I just have to hope this craziness is not universal in our country.
