My wife told me about this incident. I always wonder what makes people act that way. Could it be herd mentality?

Good opportunity for dipsh*ts to throw objects and fireworks at business and cops.

A good use for one of those fuel-air bombs?

I’m starting to understand why the wall in Escape From New York was originally built...

The world is full of idiots. Many of them live in NYC. Why would one allow some person from the internet to have such a stranglehold on their life and behavior.

I just don't get why so many people worship these so-called "influencers" and celebrities. It makes no sense at all to me.

I find the very term “influencer” repugnant and consider the influenced to be morons. I don’t think my FU gene is recessive.

I think "herd mentality" is a good way of putting it...

I think K put it best in Men In Black:
A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals, and you know it.
