Don’t reopen them - take your insurance check and start up some where else - where your customers appreciate the business - and would never “Burn this bitch down” mentality that comes out of the mouth of Mikey Brown’s step-father, x-convict ...LEAVE THE AREA - and let the animals prey on each other!
Most insurance policies do not cover civil unrest. IOW, these hard working people are most likely screwed. Sigh.
The properties/businesses must be uninsurable at this point; I wouldn’t be surprised if the city could be sued for having the police stand down. Businesses pay taxes that pay cops, and they can’t just be yanked like that; when they are, any “makers” leave permanently.
That's just it. Insurance doesn't always cover damage incurred from "social unrest" or riots. It comes out of the owner's pocket.

Michael Brown’s “Burn This Bitch Down” ahole stepfather should be arrested for inciting a riot.
