I was on a long line at 7:45 am today at the grocery store that opened at 8 for seniors only. A young man came from the parking lot and tried to cut in at the front of the line, but an old lady beat him back into the parking lot with her cane.
He returned and tried to cut in again but an old man punched him in the gut, then kicked him to the ground and rolled him away.
As he approached the line for the 3rd time he said, "If you don't let me unlock the door, you'll never get in there."
 

LOL!!!!!

By the way, this is the sort of thing you think of when you are stuck in the house too long "self isolating"

Well.. The Dark Ages in Europe were framed by two major plagues as the Justinian Plague was the final blow and finished off a dying Roman civilization in the West. And the Dark Ages lasted 8 centuries...

The Forgotten Section
The Corona Crisis has brought disruption to every section of society. From schoolchildren to the elderly and from the self-employed to the abruptly furloughed, all of us are facing upheaval, in our daily lives and anxiety about our future.
Amid the clamour of appeal for Government support, however, the plight of one group appears to have been cruelly overlooked - Criminals.


The Prime Minister may only have announced the nationwide lockdown on Monday night, but already the families from the law-breaking community are feeling the pinch.
Burglars for example have seen their takings collapse.
“It’s a nightmare” says Barry Knuckles, President of the National Union of House Breakers. “Now that the entire population is at home 24 hours a day, it’s impossible to burgle anyone. They are never out.”
Speaking on the Today programme, Mr Knuckles urged the Government to provide financial support for his members during these tough times.
He called on the Chancellor to cover 80% of the value of all the laptops, jewellery and flat screen TVs, that Britain’s burglars would normally have stolen and sold on.
“The political class are completely out of touch with the concerns of the ordinary, decent criminals” he said.
But burglars aren’t the only felons struggling to meet the challenges of the Coronavirus age.
“It’s all very well for people who can work from home like phishing scammers and identity thieves” says Dave Fingers, Chairman of the Association of Muggers and Bag-Snatchers, "but how are you supposed to pick someone’s pocket from two metres away?”
"Some of our lads have tried using those little hooked rods you get in fairgrounds Hook-a-Duck games or those funny reacher-grabber tools that old folk use for picking up stuff they’ve dropped on the floor. But it’s hopeless. The Government’s got to think again.”


The spread of the virus has also caused widespread concern among the Jihadi terrorist community. According to newspaper reports last week, Isil has ordered its members to stay away from Europe for fear of catching the disease.
“We’re disgusted by the number of Western Infidels refusing to observe guidance on social distancing” says an Isil spokesman.
“These people are making the streets completely unsafe,
Their actions could cost thousands of innocent lives.
As an employer, our number one concern is the welfare of our employees.”
“The last thing we want is for one of our suicide bombers to get killed”
