Democrats are always fascists underneath it all. There are times I wish I'd gone on to law school. This is one of them.

[TexasCajun]

Wanna bet those businesses are Asian or Paki ?

[Dr. Ursus]

Riots-this means WAR!

[2ndDivisionVet]

Wanna bet they didn’t grease the right palms at city hall and the police precincts?

There are food deserts because most people in their right mind wouldn’t open a business there.
Used to run in for a soda at 3 or 4am when driving a cab overnight. It was a bad neighborhood.
almost every time, someone was trying to steal something or was arguing about price or there was a drunk in there.

With the esteemed mayor being ‘misquoted’ on camera of letting the gangs run wild, I predict lawsuit and payments being made.

[JimRed]

Convert all the burned out liquor stores to mini-mosques.
< /sarc >

[C210N]

At the risk of being racciss...

what about pawn shops? check cashing stores?

[2ndDivisionVet]

You think they haven’t thought of that? LOL

[MrB]

They do realize, don’t they, that this means that no liquor stores will ever be built in those areas again?
Is that the point?

I’m sure the libs would BI itch if they didn’t have a convenient source of alcohol.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yep, its pie in the sky liberal dreaming here. They are saying this is such a great opportunity to convert the former liquor stores to grocery stores, to serve the food desert.

One problem is : suppose nobody wants to run a grocery store in that neighborhood???

[Paladin2]

Stores carrying arugula....

[2ndDivisionVet]

Huh?

[Vigilanteman]

Liquor stores provide the most demanded services to the 'hood:

1. Booze.
   
2. Smokes.
   
3. Lottery tickets.
   
4. EBT Card cashing.

[Joe 6-pack]

There will be booze deserts! Where will the proles get their Victory Gin?

[trisham]

These women are clueless.

[Jane Long]

Great point. Would love to see a comparison chart of who gets (tax payer paid) *recovery money* and who does not.

[CMailBag]

What is the source of this “riot recovery money”??

Maybe it’s from the Clinton Crime Family.

[dp0622]

no one in their right mind would.

I wouldn’t rebuild any business after the riots. They are going to happen again when the cops are found not guilty.

[ifinnegan]

This is written weird.

They are not being shut down at all.

They can stay open and still sell liquor just as they always have.

They are saying the tax payers (and how much of that comes from federal funds?) aren’t going to pay for their repairs.

You all think that is outrageous?
