Life just got more wonderful

How much more can go wrong?

Just as everything was beginning to return to a new normalcy, war breaks out.
A street war is going outside and they have announced we are in protest mode.
If the protestors who have already taken down the main center with their demonstrations and broken windows and spray tagged the buildings begin to mount against the convention center where we are now, they will shut the doors.

Lock down with more than 2000 others in a homeless shelter situation where a few years ago I was still living in family homes, I am now stuck inside with a bunch of people who might not like being locked inside.

It started with everyone going stir crazy, they cant handle being told to stay at home, to wear face masks or not be allowed to their favorite spots. The riots at stores as they are just opening is one thing but the over reaction of a particular store caused a man to be put down on the ground.

He died by accident and the officers fired but instead everyone is angry and tired of being told to stay at home, at least they had a home to stay inside.

Now they have taken down the particular community it started, burning and pillaging.
And then they moved on across the country. The local San Diego is a nicer city to live in but it also had a street march last night.
I was inside  a store buying a few things when the locked the doors. I barely squeezed out, not knowing why we were being locked inside. It was appearent as I stepped outside and the streets just in front of me were alive with people in protest mode.
They broke windows and entered stores and left behind their mark where ever they could. The store windows were boarded today, every single glass window with huge plyboards.

I did my few errands and returned home early to see what was going on inside the shelter. We are told to stay inside and not go out except to smoke and walk our dog. Just a few feet away, and we have been told they will be locking the doors in case there is a problem with the protestors.

Those outside will have to remain outside. We are already in a situation where we were promised rehousing last year and having been working through the system in order to get the housing while dealing with medical issues and attempting the disability settlement.

There are those who don't return until the 8 pm bed check. They might not be able to enter tonight. And the non essential staff have been sent home. No janitors, clean toilets and what about breakfast?

Wonderful, a nice safe place to self isolate and not get contaminated by others with the virus and now lock down situation due to the concerns of those who just cant stay home and not harm others.

How much more can go wrong?
