We saw a lot of devastation during the riots in a variety of different cities.
Perhaps one of the most troubling things was seeing destruction in neighborhoods that could ill afford to lose stores that had now been looted, destroyed and/or burnt out. Seeing black business owners like Korboi Balla losing his life’s dream, the sports bar he worked toward for so long. Or Stephanie Wilford, who was disabled and so could only go to stores near her apartment, her despair knowing that those stores that she so relied on as her lifeline to sustain herself were now gone. Fortunately in both cases, generous people stepped up to help them. But there are thousands adversely affected who didn’t have their stories covered.
We’re not sure exactly where this store is but hearing from this young black mother who needed to go to the store to get things to feed her kids, her heartbreaking words as she discovers the devastation there and as she notes that all the grocery stores in the neighborhood look like this.
Matt Walsh ✔ @MattWalshBlog To all of you tolerant liberals who displayed your wokeness by justifying rioting while sitting on your fat comfortable asses totally insulated from the damage, this is what you supported. This is on you. Congratulations you despicable monsters.

Matt Walsh gets it right on the money.
Don’t even begin to tell me that you care about black lives when you do stuff like this, when you destroy and harm people like this. When you do that those businesses, either will often leave or not be able to pay the higher insurance premiums that will likely result.
Don’t try to argue this is for some greater socialist good because it isn’t anything but bad. It does nothing to stop police brutality and nothing to save anyone’s life. All it does is hurt this poor mother who now has no place to go to be able to feed her kids.
When media props up some of the radical leftist groups behind some of these actions, they should be forced to watch this, to understand just exactly what they are doing and what they’re really supporting.
To them this woman never existed.

yo yo black lives matter.
They’re taking in HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars! Why isn’t that money making it back to the blacks that need it?
Because it’s going to white socialists.
Entitled white snowflakes burn black neighborhoods to the ground for sport in the name of anti-racism.
Ya can’t make this stuff up.
It is possible someone got to her and forced her to take down her video.
I should not say anything.
...it’s also going to members of the Democrat Party.
Sort of a money laundering scheme, if you will.
They take minorities and USE them...then dispose.
“Look at what you let the white people do to you”
Somehow I still don’t think she’s gotten it.
and many of these stores WILL NOT REBUILD. Not only do they fear the neighborhoods, miee importantly so do the insurance companies.
To this day burned out parts of south central LA have yet to rebuild.

Video is still there, in the article.
1921: the last year that a mob of angry white Democrats burned down a black community.
2020: the year angry white Democrats returned to helping burn down black communities.
100 Years of Progress
That is true in a lot of cities that had riots, even as far back as the sixties. The businesses have not returned.
Is that due to white racism?
When the locals burn and loot their future is worth poot.
‘I should not say anything.’
You’re not alone.
This is what happens when Downton Abbey is no longer on. The Karens have to find another group of people to follow.
mostly willing patsies
or more accurately
slaves on the democrat plantation
“That is true in a lot of cities that had riots, even as far back as the sixties. The businesses have not returned.”
The Detroit 67 riots are a prime example many businesses & neighborhoods still haven’t recovered. Downtown is doing good but drive out Grand River Ave.
The stores could be rebuilt but why bother.
Elected officials have told the police not to police - don't arrest people, don't get into an argument, don't do anything that might start a riot. If you do, you - the police - will be arrested and destroyed.
Some police will retire; some will change careers; those remaining on the force stop policing.
The de facto end of policing emboldens the thugs. And that, not the recent fires, is the end of having successful, legal businesses in the community.
