Riots in The Villages
 
The rioting in major cities across the U.S. has spread to The Villages, Florida. Looters in Florida’s friendliest hometown have especially broken into stores that sell items like laxatives, vitamins, hearing aids, reading glasses, energy drinks and surgical stockings.

The thugs were easily caught and arrested since they were using their walkers and golf carts to flee. The protests have been limited to the evening hours because most of the lawbreakers either had doctor’s appointments during the day or rioting would have interfered with their naps.

The marches didn’t last that long because many of the demonstrators had to get home to pee. In many cases, the demonstrators simply forgot why they were even there. Officials considered a curfew starting at 9 p.m. But since that’s the time when most of the residents go to bed anyway, it was decided that it wasn’t needed.

Community leaders concluded that part of the problem was that residents were restless because they had too much time on their hands since the recreation centers, pools, theaters, boutique stores and especially the bars were closed due to the coronavirus.

Community officials wanted to form a committee to look further into the problem, but no one would volunteer due to social distancing concerns.

We have been very bored staying at home and would love a distraction. Could we please give us 24 hours notice before the next riot so we can make plans to attend.

Pretty funny thread.

Reminds me of Mark Twain.

Now that is hillarious.

As a prospective buyer, I'd rather see live entertainment and dancing on the squares. Rioting and looting just doesn't do it for me.

Aw... I think OP’s post is funny. I wouldn’t worry if I were a prospective buyer, OP is tongue in cheek.

I hope that the rioters were wearing masks.

I saw that. Many "Old Lives Matter" signs. Things are getting out of hand.
