The store owners in Ottawa had the local government telling them they should shut down because of the violent rabble in town. Many shut down of their own doing and lost money. If they would have stayed open they would have made a lot of money.
Lanes were always open for vehicles. Those lefties in that city are all mean spirited liars.
Federal, State. County City COVID shut down orders
CHAZ/CHOP style takeovers in Seattle and Portland
BLM/Anita riots that burn and loot
Flash mob store lootings
Ottawa truck blockade
They all have one thing in common. Local business get pounded. Insurance won't cover this crap. These actions are rounding errors for big box operations. But the independent business get creamed.
If people want to play the "I'm mad as hell and I won't take it any more" game, then they should be prepared when local business hits back.
