Why does this happen?

2,500 People Waiting for Free Food Get Unruly:
Milwaukee police said they have restored order but will remain outside of the Marcia P. Coggs Human Services Center after a crowd awaiting free food vouchers became unruly this morning.

Department spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said Vliet St., between N. 12th and N. 13th streets, is blocked and barricades have been installed so people are able to line up around the block of the building at 1220 W. Vliet St.

"That line is pretty huge," Schwartz said. "We are going to be here for the duration. We have a pretty good number."

Police responded to the building about 7 a.m. after 2,500 people lined up on the sidewalk and eventually began to block traffic in the street. A number of people had rushed the door, and some people became caught in the crush; however, there were no serious injuries, according to Schwartz.

She did not believe that police had made any arrests, nor were people being asked to leave.

"We want to make sure people stay here in an orderly fashion so they can get what they came to get," she said. "We're still trying to figure out why so many people showed up."

Why does this heppen when a quick search of the posted jobs for the greater Milwaukee area indicates there are more than 5,000 jobs currently available?

Because they shouldn't have to work for it and they're entitled to it. It so obvious!

Because people are people.

It happens b/c people who need to stand in line for food are desperate. Desperate people act irrationally like fighting in a free food line.
Unless we fix the economy, you will see more BS like this.

BS, there are many jobs but they're too lazy to work! As long as the liberals push the "take from the rich & give to the poor" like they always have the worthless lazy people will go for free food instead of work! Cut off all the free food and if they don't go to work they starve, simple as that. We have lots of guns here in Wisconsin and if they try to steal to eat then we can shoot em. Unless they are medically unable to work starve em or shoot em because they aren't worth having around anyway.

Yup.

Remember a person is smart, people are stupid. I'm sure some of those are really people that for some reason or another do need to be in that line while others are simply sucking from the government tit and too lazy to do anything for themselves.
