If their store gets burned or looted they might be able to file that loss of business claim that insurance was refusing to cover for pandemic closures. Although I wonder if the insurance companies could then use the pandemic as a defense, saying they couldn't have opened anyway.

When these kids are allowed to drive right up to a store - smash the windows - loot - and then throw their booty in a car - it's being made easy for them to loot.

I watched the other day in Minneapolis where a car drove right up to the door of a Shop N Save. A group went in through the broken glass - looted - came out and threw the stuff right into the car and in the trunk. The only mistake they made was that they didn't cover their license plate and their plate number was broadcast all across the U.S.. Oops!!!!
