F'ing Farmers

I was just trying to buy some fruit at a farmer's market this weekend and some Jethro took a swipe at me with a pitchfork.  I thought the food riots were over, but all of a sudden this guy is screaming that some locals took some of his apples and he's stuffing everything into the back of his truck.  Someone in the crowd actually threw a rock through his window and it seemed for a moment we were about to have a repeat of last weekend.  A bunch of cops showed up, but the guy was along gone, as were most of the people involved.  Nothing nearly as violent happened, but to me, things feel worse than they did during the riots.  More danger, more potential energy in the air.
