Why are there not any business owners protecting their business? This , in my opinion will make a difference. It will not be the police but private citizens protecting their lives and livelihood. Thoughts?

Cause they dont want to die. They may shoot 4 or 5 of them but then over 20 will kill the owners quick.

Start shooting them a they will reconsider their dedication to rioting in a half a heartbeat. They would scatter like a covey of quail and proclaim the shooter a racist.

Not to mention probably be arrested.

If they only kill 4-5 then they’re not adequately armed. I believe these cowards will scatter when lead starts flying. I can not and will not stand by and let my livelihood be destroyed by man.

If I’m in my business and someone comes in and presents as a threat you have the right to defend yourself. Only shoot someone because you have to and not because you want to.

Oh i agree Cal.

If the riots are being orchestrated, don't you figure that the minority owned businesses that are being destroyed are being given money to rebuild by those doing the orchestrating?

One of them did in Dallas. He was beat to a pulp. Granted, he was using a sword instead of a firearm.

I applaud him for standing up for his livelihood. But he was beaten before it started. If he wasn't able to have firearms he should've funneled them in the store through an advantage point. Board/block entry points up and then be ready. Hit them with fire extinguisher to confuse then start chopping,slashing,etc at that bottleneck. Then have a fallback point and always one or two well planned exit strategies. Might not be able to disperse them all but you'd put a few of them down. know it's easier to play on this keyboard than be up in the face of evil like he and so many others are having to deal with right now

I bet there ain't no rioting going on at my business. I'll know for sure in 30 minutes and will report back if there's looting going on. Better be some air tools getting used when I get there.

Don't bring a sword to a gunfight.

Yes, who wants to die for some business. I would rather be alive and homeless. I need to watch my grand babies grow up.

I bet that a feller with a suppressed .22 standing off abut 100 yards in the dark, preferably from an elevated position, could make a difference. Just a hypothetical ponderance.

That feller would only need 2 or 3 magazines to make that difference hypothetically. Reckon the Poleece would've responded to a free hookers&blow call at Linn park?

because of THIS

That's where you are wrong Ben. A large portion of these "protestors" are being bused in and paid. Pop the first couple looters through the door or window in the forehead and cover the ones behind them with brain matter and blood and you'll find that their "dedication to the cause" will quickly end and you'll see them scatter like roaches. Problem IMO is that nobody is pushing back against them. It's a childs mentality. Let a little kid know that all he has to do is throw a termper tantrum and he can get his way and there will be no punishment and he'll do it again and again. First time he does it, snatch him up by the back of the neck and wear his little azz out and give him a real reason to cry and wallah, problem solved. You wont have to do it twice and little Johnny will learn to behave. Same situation here. If you let them get away with it, they get more and more embolden and brazen about what they are doing. And I'll also calrify my position on this, it's not black vs white or in any way racist. There are just as many whites in the videos I am seeing as blacks and I am advocating for this treatment for anyone looting and firebombing businesses, regardless of skin color, which shouldnt ever vmatter one bit, to start with.

Yeah seen that the other day.

You don't have to shoot em all, just drop 3 or 4 and the rest will scatter like roaches.

The Los Angeles riots stunned the nation in 1992, claiming more than 50 lives in that city. As the unrest approached Koreatown, store owner Kee Whan Ha mobilized his fellow business owners to arm themselves and defend their property.Apr 27, 2012

The Koreans defended themselves pretty well during the Rodney King riots.
