I would look into suing the city for looking the other way and/or hampering law enforcement.

The people who didn’t riot must pay.

[blueunicorn6]

Should be the Democrat Party.

Insurance ain’t gonna pay.

Standard war, civil insurrection, riot clause.

Unless you had a rider.

You are going to pay Mr Small Business Owner.

And why sections of Newark, Detroit, Trenton, etc never recovered.

After Kristallnacht, shop owners "filed" for insurance claims, the totality of which was confiscated by the Nazi party.

"Riots erupt in the United States often in the wake of racial tensions created by police activities thugs engaged in criminal activities refusing to cooperate with the police when arrested and acting out violently."

Fixed that.

[eyeamok]

The Elected Officials and the Media that Incited it.

[Pollard]

There should be a class action suit against certain dem governors and mayors

Even the cops should get involved with their own class action suit - ptsd - from not being able to do their duty

[Raycpa]

I assume my commercial insurance will increase.

[mountainlion]

Even if insurance companies did pay you would not be able to afford the insurance to reopen.

Shortly after 9-11, my insurance carrier sent a letter to my shop.

Letter noted that the carrier did not cover acts of war, terrorism or civil insurrection (rioting)

[joe fonebone]

Uhhh... No.... Read your insurance policy... They all carry a clause that states in the event of civil upright or riot the policy is null and void.... Check your homeowners policy and see for yourself

[ConservativeInPA]

The author of this article is ignorant. Insurance will not pay for this unless you have a special rider on your policy and pay a higher premium. Btw, this whole insurance will pay for it meme comes from bLM and Antifa types. They use it as a rationalization to loot and destroy businesses. Supposedly nobody gets hurt. Anyone with that mindset should be shot.

[TigersEye]

Ultimately the taxpayers pay. And after the riot there are fewer taxpayers.

Few Americans realize it, but many states had laws against “reverse condemnation” under eminent domain laws. Basically, cities and towns that allowed rioters to destroy property were responsible to compensate private owners for their losses, under the idea that government allowed property to be taken (condemned) due to the actions and inaction of government.

Those laws finally disappeared in the 1960s when Democrats took over most cities.

[nonsporting]

BLM and ANTIFA rioters should pay.

[vigilante2]

My insurance doesn’t cover acts of terrorism. If the insurance companies can define these acts this way then the rioters should be treated as terrorists.

[Ezekiel]

Who picks up this mess?

Well you’re going to pick up the mess, because YOU are a garbage man!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The author doesn’t have 1% of the smarts of your average FReeper...

“...the first step would be to contact law enforcement...If the state opts to press charges against that individual...”

Ha, ha, ha....maybe he is a comedian.

[Chgogal]

Who should pay? The damn corporations that gave BLM the 10s of millions of dollars in donations, that’s who. The small businesses should sue BLM!

[beethovenfan]

We all do.
