My point exactly.

Are you simply forgetting that it was you yourself who started this topic complaining about Dunkin Donuts being open for law enforcement? Do you truly not remember that you started this? Honestly? Tell me, do you remember? You obviously DO have a problem w/it since you are the one who started this thread.

I hope the police catch that SOB quite honestly. I just don't get the lockdown, not in a free country at least.
His point is your have no class and I agree.
Get people off the stret so they canot be car jacked killed ina cop/bomer shoot out. Won't have TRAFFIC BACKED UP FOR MILES AND THOUSANDS OF CARS TO SEARCH. Do you need more help to understand?

I'm not like most people. I'm sure there are some people who are not obeying the lockdown, especially if it's to just get a quick bite. I would be very hungry if I had to wait to get lunch, so I would probably be enjoying a nice cream cheese bagel with a LEO right now.

Then I'm taking it that most, not all, but most people are off the street voluntarily to help out the police. If so, then I think that's a great idea.

The LE have to eat/drink. What do you except them to do? Something has to stay open, that doesn't mean everything should during a situation like this. If DD is going to give them free food/drink, then it works out for both, I guess. If I was a business owner, I wouldn't want to be open in Boston right now.

Why only the faceless corporation and not the neighborhood businesses? Isn't this going back to the fascism argument?

Why isn't DD closed? Is anyone ordering them to remain open? Seems to me that it would be more sensible to close DD down too since it's as dangerous out there as ya'll claim.

Are you going to actually answer the questions in my post or go off on some other unrelated tangent? Can you NOT answer the questions?

Probably because they opened the restaurants for the day prior to the lockdown going into effect...that would be my guess.

If that is the case, it's safer for the employees to remain where they are than it is for them to try to go home...particularly since public transportation has been shut down. If they're there anyway, might as well hand out some donuts and coffee to Boston's finest.

IF that's indeed true, then it makes more sense. I don't think that's the case, but one could only hope.

Weren't the neighborhood stores open the day before also?
