A "copycat" ice cream licker was arrested in Louisiana on Saturday in the weeks after he was caught on video allegedly licking ice cream in a grocery store and putting it back in the fridge.

Ok... we see Antifa thugs beating up on some guy who thinks differently than they... there are nationally recognized politicians advocating the dismantling of core American political and law enforcement institutions... our college campuses have devolved into hot-houses of social action propaganda... etc. etc.
But now... people are licking Blue Bell Ice Cream and putting it back in the cooler. One video shows a young man spitting into a jug of juice and returning it to stock also.
What possible explanation can anyone offer about this type of behavior?
Well, I might have one.
This kind of behavior is one facet of an anarchic mind set. Children, teenagers, young adults, adults and even seniors can demonstrate it. When a person becomes so disgusted with his or her life, so bored out of their mind, so devoid of meaning and purpose, they naturally become resentful... spiteful... and prone to rash acts that reflect that condition. In essence it boils down to this: "The world sucks... all those people out there suck... especially the ones who act like they are somebody important... nothing is really worth anything... so I'm just going to do stuff. I'm just going to do outrageous things and justify it as 'making a statement.'"
Think about it. Licking a container of ice cream and then putting it back would almost require the person to hang around to see if anyone would buy that container. And then, of course, the perpetrator giggles with his/her friends and go try to find some other despicable act. Along the way the evil impulse takes on a form of "righteousness." The pervert becomes self-convinced that some higher principle justifies their behavior.
Anarchy, by definition, is aimed at bringing things down. For those few thinkers who actually have a kind of coherent idea about it, anarchy is usually aimed at clearing out a rotten system so that people can put something better in its place. There is a great deal of naivete in it. But it is this kind of thinking that brought down Archduke Ferdinand in the early 20th century and initiated World War I. It is these kind of thoughts that lead to bombs going off in crowded bus terminals and lone gunmen shooting up a ICE station.
The point I'm making is that there is a direct line of continuity between these ice-cream lickers and the depraved attitudes of Antifa.
This is not a "kids will be kids" situation. There is something deeply wrong with people doing this stuff. They should be caught, severely punished or otherwise re-educated. If ever there was a place for corporal punishment of offenders, this would be one of them. Those at the other end of the specturm, the Antifa folks, should be treated as terrorists. Guantanamo sounds like a good place to sort them out for a few years.
