I think everything wrong with the world today can be witnessed in this video...


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-10922428

This woman REALLY wanted some chicken nuggets...

1.) The "instant gratification" that comes with the fastfood/Iphone/24 hour cable news/gimme gimme mentality. People think they don't have to take "no" for an answer anymore.

2.) The rush to violence. What is it that made this lady so angry? Probably something deeper than just not getting her nuggets...

3.) Chicken nuggets. Processed chicken offal mixed with high fructose corn syrup. To call it "food" would be an insult to eating.

4.) Wage slavery. That drive through worker probably doesn't even have health insurance to get treatment for any injuries she received.

1. Unemployment? Lack of resources and funds. Good wages don't come from bankrupt busineses

12. Yes, I saw that. I also CLEARLY saw an assault in the video,
and wonder why she's getting kid-glove treatment from the cops. She should be facing assault charges in addition to the property crime charge.

13. Ah, gotcha.
She was arguably aggressive and retaliatory to say the least.

10. It looks like she threw a full beer through the window
So I'm guessing she was drunk at the very least

9. Injuries obtained on the job
Are covered by workman's compensation, not by personal health insurance
