Gang of Geriatric Koreans holding McDonald's seating hostage

New York Times-Shortly after New Year’s Day, Man Hyung Lee, 77, was nursing a coffee in his usual seat in a narrow booth at a McDonald’s in Flushing, Queens, when two police officers stepped into the fluorescent light of the restaurant. Mr. Lee said the officers had been called because he and his friends — a revolving group who shuffle into the McDonald’s on the corner of Parsons and Northern Boulevards on walkers, or with canes, in wheelchairs or with infirm steps, as early as 5 a.m. and often linger until well after dark — had, as they seem to do every day, long overstayed their welcome.

“They ordered us out,” Mr. Lee said from his seat in the same McDonald’s booth a week after the incident, beneath a sign that said customers have 20 minutes to finish their food. (He had already been there two hours.) “So I left,” he said.

“Then I walked around the block and came right back again.”

“Do you think you can drink a large coffee within 20 minutes?” David Choi, 77, said. “No, it’s impossible.”

First things first, check out the big balls on Hyung Lee! Safe to say North Korea is in the shape it is in today because it is void of the all the hard nosed pissy Koreans who wouldn't put up with Kim Jong Un's black out bullshit like Hyung. Loitering statutes are on par with Genocidal oppression right? Right.

Secondly, it makes no fucking sense that an international badass like Hyung is hanging out with this jabroni David Choi. Can't drink a large coffee in 20 minutes? Go kick rocks David; you're the only one who can't drink a large coffee in twenty minutes. Though I must say McDonald's coffee is on par with liquified baby shit, so maybe he is onto something.

Question for you that I've pondered forever, How in the world do people like these clearly unemployed Koreans afford to live in the most expensive city in the world? My friends live blocks from this in Queens, both have good jobs and make decent money and they're practically living on top of each other for an absolutely absurd amount of money. Meanwhile, these dickhead old folks have enough time in the day to get kicked out of a place that is guaranteed to have nothing but employees who don't give a fuck about their job.
Someone please explain, its making my head hurt.
