He had insurance but not business interuption insurance. He'll get his place back but biting by way of income until then.

i know at least 4 friends that have had to close doors due to covid but they are not going hungry because the feds are helping out

 

[BeLeafer]

What's most remarkable in all of this is how fucking brave these protesters are. They know they're going to be attacked and yet still go out there unarmed.

 

[Habsy]

You just said all of those things.

No I didn't.

Me saying I'd move means black people should move? You're either a fucking moron or being provocative and I know you're not stupid so...

I said the park police out a statement so that means I put it out. Again stupid.

I said that particular moment tear gas wasnt used according to the police yet you say I'm saying nobody ever got tear gassed.

Grow up little girl, either discuss maturely or gtfo.

Angry at everyone involved. Angry at generations of racists, angry at the police, angry at the government, angry at the looters, and angry at myself if I didn't have sufficient insurance to manage the situation.

Yeah....I hate the tendency most people have that dictates they can blame one side, and one side only, while 100% supporting the other side with all their heart. Binary thinking is so lazy (most of the time). It makes for a really awful political system as our neighbours to the south prove time and time again.

In canada.

BTW, the government had allowed insurance companies to not accept new riders for business interrupting insurance. Capitalism at its best.

i would rather focus on evil insurance companies and the lack of regulation than on looters

that is going to ruin more live than looters

To be clear, so you think I'm being binary here?

So nobody should focus on looters. Got it.

That's what they want btw.

This is mature?

No...I was responding to an ME post that I fully endorse.

Who does?

each grp

racist white ppl for white ppl

looters for protesters

racist cops for non racist cops

of course what needs to happen is protesters need to stop the looters (my cousin and I have done that - mostly my cousin as he was the football player haha)

non racist cops need to make sure the racist cops are not kneeling on a guy until he dies

white people need to call out the racist shit over other white ppl - this is where I struggle because i hate confrontation (for the most part)

Take your medicine shit disturber

The thing is whether the looters are wrong or not (they are) it's very easy to just do what you morons down south have done forever and just terrorize them, lock them up and call it a day.


OR we can maybe just maybe look at fixing the root of the problem, which isn't that these people and that particular race are inherently bad people believe it or not. Crazy idea maybe. Not sure.

 

[zeke]

To move the crowd, not to use tear gas. More zekeism, lying by omission.

Oh yes they claim they "only" used smoke bombs.

So everything is OK.

 

[BeLeafer]

It's important to remember or note (if you were previously unaware) that the police use agent provocateurs to do a lot of the looting and smashing shit you see.

There is no change without people in the majority helping that change. White people are calling it out, the issue is more need to.

As for confrontation, I understand I shy away from it too.

Name the last time you believed anything said by anyone that goes against your opinion? I'll wait.

Not sure if serious.
