Most Americans are ignorant of the fact that up until the 1960s, many states had civil liability laws requiring cities to compensate private property owners whose property was damaged by riots. It is considered “inverse condemnation” under eminent domain laws.

Policing is government work, and allowing riots is ultimately a government / political decision. Property that is illegally “taken” through riots therefore should be compensated by government.

When progressives took over American government, particularly American cities in the 50s and 60s, these laws were eliminated.

Great post.

Excellent! Though this might mean there are few more speed bumps on the road.

Thanks for the history info. It is clear no one is being held accountable.

More ruin due to the ‘60s.

I had no idea.

Good point. Seems it should be simple application of 4th A.
