“The self-respecting small home owners and shop owners are the unprotected and undefended victims of every race riot.” -Ayn Rand
If there is one word that will eventually come to describe the summer of 2020, it will be “riots.” We have seen the violent, riotous instincts of Democrats on full display as Antifa thugs attack conservatives and BLM Marxists smash shop windows and loot the contents of every business they come across.
Both conservatives and liberals have been all over the media talking about these riots. Conservatives insist that the so-called “peaceful protesters” are really violent mobs of looters and rioters while liberals insist that they are, in fact, peacefully protesting. I tend to agree with the conservative side, but, as destruction has obviously occurred, both groups are missing the point, which is who are the victims of riots?
The answer to that, as you hopefully gathered from the above Ayn Rand quote is that home owners and small business owners are the victims of riots. Those are the people who are forced to deal with the damage inflicted upon communities by violent mobs, such as the ones we have seen this summer.

I’m guessing that a whole lot of Woke Millenials are thinking that the two really big problems are:
1) I can’t pay my rent
2) I can’t find a job
So, who the heck cares about businesses?? Screw them!! Let’s burn them all down!! We have real problems to fix! My problems! I have student loans to pay off! Why doesn’t somebody do something??
That is far too narrow a view.
What about the people left in a city who can’t shop because all the businesses were burned out and their insurance rates raised 500% so they cannot rebuild?
What about the corrosive effect on society as a whole of burned-out cities that never get rebuilt? What about the fact that all these criminals get released with no bail? Might that have an effect on everybody’s respect for the law?
I think I prefer riots to Government imposes shutdowns. With rioters, business owners can defend themselves. With Governments we have little recourse
The Democrats have been behind everything that has plagued this country this year. The coronavirus, the riots, strained race relations, the damaged economy, and of course their coup de grace the stealing of a presidential election.
The term business owners is too vague. The majority of those businesses that were burned were of the same race as BLM advocates for.
AND fight to ensure the borders are erased and we import millions of third world unskilled people and put them on welfare...
State approved riots
IMHO; the Covid lockdowns and looting and burning of small businesses serve one purpose, to eliminate the middle class in the US. A healthy middle class is a threat to the ruling elite power and their plan of a NWO, therefore the middle class must be decimated. It’s going to get worse if Biden / Harris are allowed in the WH.
How many of them supported the left?
