It’s racist to demand law and order. Profits are also racist.
If private business decides to fill an open gap, it will do so. Likewise they will leave when they can’t do well in an area.
These people don’t have a right to anything from a private business. They don’t make decisions because Fred over there is upset.
“Somebody has to stand up for what’s right...”
OK, let it start with you. Recruit a bunch of neighbors to take shifts in the store watching for and reporting shoplifters. Help the business have a reason to stay.
Idiot black mayor: “Where my peeps gone do dey shoplifting now mang?”
#NewYorkStateofAnarchy…
Lemme guess . . .
Little clues: Plywood covering the front door. Portable flood lights on generator trailer. I wonder what goes on in the neighborhood? Looting/shoplifting?
I noticed the 2 glass front doors to the Rite Aid were boarded up with plywood. I wonder if that has something to do with its closing.
From sikipedia (yeah, I know)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory
In criminology, the broken windows theory states that visible signs of crime, anti-social behavior and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder, including serious crimes.[1] The theory suggests that policing methods that target minor crimes such as vandalism, loitering, public drinking, jaywalking, and fare evasion help to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness.
The theory was introduced in a 1982 article by social scientists James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling.[1] It was popularized in the 1990s by New York City police commissioner William Bratton and mayor Rudy Giuliani, whose policing policies were influenced by the theory.
It's shameful that the city has turned its back on businesses.
Take care of crime and you'll see them stay.
If the minority communities don't like the businesses in their area closing, then they need to see to it themselves that crime and the criminal element is appropriately dealt with.

“...but they have no problem turning their back on our city,” Evans said.”
No problem at all..pilgrim.
Want pharmacies and other much-needed stores in your neighborhood? Then stop shoplifting at them. They are in business to make money, not to supply local turds with whatever their greedy eyes want.
In the 1970s, during the race riots, I felt safer in Rochester NY than I do today while travelling THROUGH Seattle and Portland.
Odd, that seems.
Perhaps “Mayor Malik” should tell his constituents to stop STEALING EVERYTHING THAT AIN’T NAILED DOWN and maybe the stores would hang around!
[but they have no problem turning their back on our city,” Evans said.]
So open a Rite Aid, you ignorant bastard.
Rochester update...
Hundreds of “juveniles”.
As soon as the politicians blame racism then the real issue is crime around the ares, crime in the store and the employees are unsafe at the location.
It’s code word #1.
