Kanzler said the store ultimately agreed to all of the requests by Aug. 22, other than closing the store for three days. Instead, he said, the store would close on the anniversary of Brown’s death and provide a free barbecue the day before.

But in recent days, Kanzler said, protest leaders told him that they weren’t interested in going through with the agreement anymore and that the only thing that would resolve the matter was if the store was sold to them. He said formal offers hadn’t been made.

If the owner could get a decent price, he should accept and get out of that town. But I'm fairly sure the protesters 1)would not make a fair offer; 2)could not come up with the money to finance even the 10 cents on the dollar price they likely would propose. The best course is probably to take the insurance money and run when they get around to burning the place down.

SOLD TO THEM? They don’t have any assets beyond their EBT cards !!!!

This is out & out extortion.

There is NO insurance payout for arson....
