That will lead to businesses fleeing the city in droves, along with white flight like never before. The loss of revenue will bankrupt the city as thousands of hoodlums will descend on the city like a plague of locusts. Gang violence will leave the ruins of Minneapolis looking like Berlin at the end of the war. |

User ID: 77555432 United States 06/08/2020 07:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | With Cub, Target, two Aldi stores and many small markets damaged by rioting over the past week, Longfellow and about eight other neighborhoods have nearly become a food desert. Quoting: Where Eagles Dare “I consider the loss of these businesses devastating,” said Melanie Majors, executive director of the Longfellow Community Council. “Besides just the food, there’s a lack of retail for diapers, formula, household goods, even clothing.” Many residents of the area shop lower-priced stores such as Aldi or dollar stores. Two of those dollar stores — including Family Dollar on Lake Street — were destroyed in last week’s looting and violence that arose after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis police custody. One Aldi store on E. Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis reopened Monday after power was restored to it. The frozen foods section had been cleared out due to the outage that started late last week, but shelves were being restocked Monday. Amplifying the problem over the weekend and again on Monday was the fact that Metro Transit was not operating buses or trains. Public transportation will again be shut down on Tuesday. Sylvester Hudson walked about 40 minutes from Fort Snelling Apartments to the Cub Foods at E. 46th Street and Hiawatha Avenue. It is the only supermarket left in the Longfellow neighborhood along the light-rail line after four other supermarkets closed because of destruction during the protests. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to catch a cab, so I’ll probably have to walk,” said Hudson, 70, who brought a two-wheeled cart for grocery transport, as he finished shopping at Cub Foods. “This is the only store left open in the neighborhood that I can walk to.” [link to m.startribune.com (secure)] aw dãmn you fukders only get two starsvon lootîñgveffectiveness scale obamalover |

Depending upon the type of insurance you have, you might not be covered. Some insurance policies don't cover losses due to riots. Even if the business is covered there is still a deductible and some of the cost will come of the store owners pocket. Looting and arson are not victimless crimes despite what leftists will tell you. This will drive some people out of business permanently. |
