Fadi Faouri has slept in his store in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, for 122 straight nights, trying to protect a livelihood that is nearly destroyed.

“If I leave my store, I leave to go home, take a shower, change my clothes and go back,” he told the Post.

“Stuff is being damaged on a nightly basis, people are shooting at each other every night,” said Faouri, who’s had the shop for eight years. “Every night we have a new store that got looted. They break in, they take whatever and go. They walk away.”
Business is so bad right now because of the protests, Faouri planned to move his shop a few blocks away starting Monday.
The new location was torched Thursday night.

Faouri, who immigrated from Jordan as a teenager and moved to Louisville from California about 10 years ago, said there were about 50 people standing there, but he refused to engage, stating multiple times he doesn’t want to get involved in the controversy, just wants to protect his store.
“As long as they are talking only, that’s fine with me,” he said. “But they cannot force me to say something I don’t want to say.”
It was far from the first time he was confronted, Faouri said. Activists have even come into his store to demand he hire Black people, and after his personal information was shared online, some protesters have shown up at his house.
“They’ve been out of hand,” he said. “They try to force me to do stuff that I don’t want to do, and I will not do.”
He’s gotten so many death threats, “I lost count.” But the threats haven’t deterred him. “I refuse to be a victim.”

I swear to God that people need to start hanging mayors and city councils for their utter betrayal, corruption and dereliction of duty.
Obviously a Right Wing Extremist that Hates Democracy

He needs help. I hope a few good folks in LV will step in and help him.
And yet he will probably still vote Democrat....
Gov of Florida will defund localities that do not protect its citizens, will allow the citizen to sue the local government should it refuse to protect the citizen and when the locality defunds the police, the State will defund the locality. That’s the way it is done.

Thanks Democrats!
Absolutely!
The need to hang!
Do we know that for sure ?
This is ridiculous and with a supposed curfew in place but yet they are still destroying the city.
What a stupid statement. How do you know? Just because he happens to be an Arab?
Why buy milk from a store when you can steal it?
Pretty much the “morality” of AntiFa or BLM
The idiot woman in the video claimed Breonna Taylor was sleeping when she was shot. To her, Facts Don’t Matter.
I hate to break it to you Fardi, you already are a victim.
They are controlling the dynamic and your life. You are fighting back and not allowing yourself to be defeated. Good for you. But you are a victim, none the less.
“ And yet he will probably still vote Democrat....”
Based on his firearms and the T shirt brand I doubt that he votes Democrat.
Just a guess as 80% of immigrants vote Democrat.
Yet another ignorant stupid ass comment.........Got some proof?......
Look at the emblem on the left sleeve of his T-shirt you moron and convince me he's going to vote Democrap........................Sheesh!
I'm thinking the Covid is infecting a small number of folks on this site that is resulting in temporary stupidity.........but I could be wrong.
Well this guy is a business owner and gun owner. Sounds pretty American to me.
“I’m thinking the Covid is infecting a small number of folks on this site that is resulting in temporary stupidity.........but I could be wrong.”
Let’s hope and pray that it’s only temporary.
