A lot of cities I grew up around in NJ were only recently starting to make a comeback from the devastation of the riots of the 60s and rot of the 70s.
They were still bastions of government handouts, but were seeing gentrifications as the hipsters rediscovered the hidden charms.
Between the virus and now this, will they take another 50-60 years to revive?
Business owners need to start equating building a business in "da hood" with living in a hurricane prone area (as I do). I buy flood insurance even though my house has never flooded. There needs to be some sort of extra coverage in case of riots, rampant theft and destruction protests.
“Vote Trump! What does the guy have to lose now?
His life?”
you definitely have a point. :-)
It reminds me how some people will say “it can’t be any worse” when it can always be worse.
This is EXACTLY the time for that question. It's called a "teachable moment."
The minute the rioting and looting starts, the original story goes off my radar screen and my Give-A-Sh!t stops working. Burning down your own neighborhood in response to a perceived case of injustice is not only idiotic, it completely obscures the factual narrative of the alleged injustice.
Don’t come crying to me. Your city administration did nothing to stop the burning/looting/destroying/attacking. The feral street savages are ruled by their reptilian brain, and don’t care who owns a business.
The excerpted text is calling for turning the attacks against Whites ONLY.
Possibly. One of the structures that was torched was a 6 story affordable housing project.
VOTE for TRUMP!
What have you got to lose?
And if you DID vote for Trump then it's time to GET the HELL OUT of MPLS.
You're getting a closeup view of the long entrenched LIBERAL DEMOCRAT MENTALITY.
"I'll show you!... I'll burn down my house."
Strangely, it MAKES SENSE to their DIM-BULB minds.
Or, You can help instead of being a d!ck about it

Agree!
If the City doesn’t kill your business by not letting you operate it during the pandemic the useful idiots will burn you out.
Lose/Lose proposition.
Trump should invest in this man.
Socialists build and populate their very own hells and when the flames reach their asses they blame someone else for their predicament.
Well, now that this bar owner “is trying to figure out” if he’ll vote for another Democrat, we can safely say, he ain’t black...anymore.
I know of a socialist traitor who would call this man a liar over that statement:
I wonder whether we just gained another republican or if this man was already a republican because that's the belief system that it takes to work hard and create a successful business.
I had job offers to move out of the DC area, and my wife said we had too many good friends.
After the riots, nothing in our neighborhood, a lot of neighbors left, and my wife said take the next job offer and lets get out of here. We were out of there by that fall.
My parents had sold their home in the SW and moved to Alexandra to be near their new grand kids and us.
My mother was a reading teacher, skilled in testing students to find our their real reading levels. That was eliminated after the riots as possible racial. They had not bought a home in that area and went back to be near her family and got a job doing what she was skilled at, testing students for their actual reading ability.
Before the riots, my parents loved DC and its history. They spent basically a week with us until the riots and smoke cleared up. They said that they were too old to go through riots again.
Basically every neighbor, we had moved to W.Va or NC with the exception of a lady, who became a widow. She was a steno with a top secret clearance got big pay and still does at age 80. I went back for a meeting 3 years later and only one other original family was still there in a row with 10 condos. He was CIA and got to work out of Langley for 4 years. They sold their home on his next out of country assignment.
So, we understand what the good people are going through with the riots.
