Shoppers Loot Candle Store For Being Closed On Thanksgiving
Best Buy employee Tom Hitchins witnessed the destruction:
“It was crazy. First one person started started smashing windows, then a second, then a third. before I knew it, hundreds of people were running around the parking lot with candles over their head like they had just won the lottery.- - The Daily Currant

Your Say
The problem is, of course, that like all skillful satire, this is practically indistinguishable from real-life credibility.
It also may confuse some readers that the Daily Currant is similar in title to the Hartford Currant, which is a very legitimate newspaper.

Oh ... Uh ... really? This isn't a genuine news article? Here I thought there were scores of peace-love-groovies and Rainbow persons gathering candles to use in a Pray for the Planet demonstration to enhance our Global Village.
I was gonna wear my tie-dyed John Lennon shirt and sing Kumbaya with all the beautiful folks.
I was also going to criticize the Candle Shop for being such military-industrial-racist-White-money hungry pigs that they are. They should give the candles away for free.
I remember Abbie Hoffman said "Free makes Freedom".
That goes for our little Black brothers and sisters too, so they can have a decent life in their quaint little neighborhoods.
