Downtown Moncton was the scene of untold horrors, confusion, mayhem and downright hostility this morning .

A sacred , unwritten trust had been broken this morning. People's faith's were shattered. 

Alighting from my bus at Church and Main at about 7:15 am, I noticed a large noisey crowd at the corner of Main and Alma, directly in front of the entrance to Tim's.

Waking toward it and my usual morning double double, I saw two female employee's huddled in the Tim's doorway  ,showing signs of mortal fear. One cried out, " Hanging us won't get you a coffee."

It seems that no one had showed up to open the store. Around me was pure kaos . One man was atop the nearby bus shelter attempting to make a hangmen's noose.

In the street was a beautiful middle aged woman offering to trade her body for a Large Double Double. Near by an old man sat weeping uncontrolably.Another man sucked hard on his cigarette, and cried " whats a smoke without my Tim's ? "

It was a sight that almost brought  tears to my eyes....almost. I kept walking untill I was at least 100 feet away and then turn to the ever growing crowd and screamed..." There a Tim's in City Hall. ", and then turned and ran like hell with the wild eyed mob in pursuit.
