If you work at that business, you've lost your job. If you own that business, you've lost everything. Half of the public seems to find rioting excusable even though it is extremely dangerous and extremely illegal.

Yet, the actions of those who don't accept the situation and decide to defend their property are found inexcusable by that same half of the public.

Violence always breeds violence and I hate both groups sincerely with all my heart. Just annoyed by the bias. Our political systems in US and Canada have full freedom to those wishing a peaceful protest and debate. So many people today, especially younger people, have no clue and no appreciation of how fortunate they are to live in a truly democratic liberal society.

This isn't true though.
