If the police and the business owners are not allowed to protect property...

The business owners will try. But if all police departments have become as politically correct as the ones in very Republican Scottsdale, AZ Saturday night, where officers directly told downtown business owners they were not obligated to defend property and then let the mob loot millions in inventory from the largest mall in the Southwest - when a few well-placed rounds of pepper spray could have knocked them down like gnats - then insurers will simply walk away.

It's hard to conclude anything other than that collectivist political operatives have taken control of this police department - and many others around the country.

Not only will insurers hike their rates out of affordability, why would any business owner rebuild knowing the police will do nothing the next time? The amount of capital, sweat, love and hope that goes into building a small business is not an endless well. You don't do all of that without an implied contract of law and order.

This story gets to me, because I love mystery books. I have a paltry collection compared to others, but I see them as small treasures and love getting immersed in a story. I am so sad for the Uncles and their customers.

Settle up with lawsuits against the city.

In Florida the police and security officer “Stood down” er “held the perimeter (through which the school shooter escaped)”.

Dereliction of duty.

In one video I have seen a mob of white people in Tulsa chasing after a trailer truck with horses and the crowd are throwing things. They persist in this as the truck stops for assistance to put up a tailgate ramp. At that point the Leftists are throwing things in the vicinity of the cops and nothing is done to the lynch mob, er “protesters”.

By the way, all of this took place on an elevated highway (interstate freeway?) where people shouldn’t be loitering in the lanes anyhow.
