@BritishFailedAesthetic No it had been too long since they had a perceived reason to loot so they did it because that is just what those types they do.
Since when the the media start calling looters a "flash mob?"
Police won't even respond to this in many areas due to politics. Business owners get screwed. Insurance premiums rise. They end up moving or closing down entirely. If they stick around, they pass the cost on to the customers who are already dealing with inflation.
@Monalisaa1986 Just like with cars many business owners have liability only insurance. Some are covered some are not. In the end the people who live there end up paying either by loosing the store because it closed or higher prices to pay increased insurance costs.
@Monalisaa1986 Ever try collecting from an insurance company? Their entire business model is based on collecting as much as they can in premiums, and paying out as little as possible in settlements. A business owner never recoups 100% of their losses.
yeah...this world is becoming a **cked up place. we don't have flash mobs up here yet but thieves just walk into stores and grab anything they want.... some stores are closing because of it...
@Tetsuya Actually they are not always covered. Many stores cant afford that coverage in cities where this is more likely to happen. Some opt to save money and get liabity only. This instance was not a riot but a theft of multiple locations orginized on social media. When the store shuts down employees loose their jobs and the community looses their store.
