There are some white business owners in that area also, including the owners of a tattoo place which shares a storefront with a gun shop. They went out night before last, armed, and stayed all night to prevent their businesses from being attacked. a Dollar Store in the same strip mall was destroyed. The police saw them and just left them to it, thankfully. It would be a nightmare if the government-sanctioned thieves managed to loot a gun shop, more for the business owner than anyone.
Thr only problem is that during rioting, one’s sense of friend and enemy is anything but clear.
