Then ... let them eat cake!

(Falsely attrib. to Marie Antoinette, last I read)

oh WAIT! This-all started in the famous massacree of Feb. 2014 wherein a Baker was forced to bake.
And the local population Exploded.

It was said that a certain cake (deep frozen in LN and formed into shards) were weapons of choice:
then the Baker was found guilty of mayhem leading to manslaughter.
Posthumously.

Ain"t Murica Great?

(All this, just as a local cycle gang, gathered for breakfast, were asked somewhat rhetorically)
Well chaps, what'll it be today.. mindless destruction or senseless violence?
