This is our local Verizon store where we go to get our account taken care of. They've always been really good to us

Damn. I'm glad the folks in the store were not hurt. About 15 years ago a little old lady drove through the front of a Dunkin Donuts just a block away from my old employer. She managed to squeeze her car between the concrete posts set up along the storefront parking spaces and crippled one of the kids working behind the counter.

Was she angry, or just senile and lost control?

This dude was pissed that they wouldn't open the store for him even tho it was 30 minutes past closing time (so it's not like they locked up at 8pm on the dot)

Though the little old lady's actions were probably a panic reaction ("I'm pushing on the brake as hard as I can, why won't it stop!!! *because it's actually the accelerator*) I'd be willing to bet that senility played a role in both incidents. Unfortunately, rage and destructive acts are not uncommon behaviors exhibited during dementia's onset and progression. I deal with many elderly patients every day and it's heartbreaking to see them as they break down and lose themselves over the years.

My dad is 81 and I think I see the tell-tale signs of a cognitive decline. I pray that it is slow but family history would suggest otherwise.

That Verizon has an altered Horizon now. I hope the police charge the guy by the minute.
