24. I understand the wanting justice, but

I've never been able to understand why trash and loot stores in the local community ?

So would it be fair and understandable if the guys that got their stores trashed, to go and trash someone else's store because they want justice ? I can understand trashing the cop car, station etc, but the local stores ? What the hell did the business owners do ?
