Small business owner: The looters who broke into my store weren't protesting Floyd death

My father founded our family pharmacy the year I was born, 1955. Originally, we were located near the White House until we moved to Upper Northwest Washington, D.C., right near the border of Maryland and the capital. We also expanded into groceries.

The night of Sunday, May 31, was a nightmare.

It was the third night of protests in the city when someone threw a chair from the patio set outside through our shop window. My son and I found it and we tried to board up the window as best we could but the professional crews were in frantic demand. We had called for help, but so much was going on that we needed to secure the window ourselves. The police were spread very thin, driving up and down our avenue in emergency vehicles.

1. I never really thought of it as a drug store, but I guess it was.

When I think of Rodman’s, I think of a funny little store where we got beer and snacks to sneak into the movie theater by it. It was a great theater to see movies, giant screen and we would get a six pac and snacks and sneak them in.
