London, Chicago (many times, just err…..underreported) , St Louis, Philly, New York, Washington DC, Detroit, LA, Wisconsin, Des Moines, etc.
And now in Germantown, Maryland.
Your town is not too far down the list, I think.
These attacks are (generally) racially and economic status motivated.
I mean, they have been told that they are “owed” and are “underpriviledged” and “repressed” and that they have “rights” to “entitlements” and that they are downtrodden….
They have the example of the left. Protest and demonstrate and use violence (or the threat of violence) to get what they want. Intimidation works!
And there are more of them than there are of you…and more than the police can handle. Likely these attacks will grow…in frequency and scope. And at some point some shopowner or some citizen will have enough and do something about it. And some kid (or kids) are gonna get hurt. Or dead.
Think about it. Could be your business…of your home. Or you.
What are ya gonna do to protect yourself?
ETA:
These folks understand. No guns, but they do have weapons which will work against unarmed looters.
And it seems that the looters chose other targets. Hmmmmm
Like the Korean shopowners in L.A. during the Rodney King riots. Violence (or the threat therof) works well to prevent other violence.
