What virus?
Like it or not, deep down inside, Jeff is smiling because he can now claim on company insurance, our ridiculous regular prices of our stolen stuff vs marking down the merchandise and selling it at a loss due the pandemic.
Remember that rioting is the language of the unheard – quote from Martin Luther King, Jr., has become a touchstone for those who seek to understand why those individuals have taken to the streets.
Looking is the language of people who cannot afford luxury goods and is tired of window shopping.
Looters besieged Macy’s iconic Herald Square store in New York City Monday evening as police brought in to enforce an 11 p.m. curfew set by the city’s mayor struggled to control and apprehend an overwhelming crowd that smashed windows and damaged property at the store.
Shortly after the curfew began, police were bringing out a third looting suspect, according to a Fox News crew at the scene.
As the curfew approached, bands of protesters were evident throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, and police attempted to respond to multiple reports of roving groups smashing their way into shops and emptying them of merchandise, the Associated Press reported.
Video posted on social media showed some protesters arguing with people breaking store windows and urging them to stop, the AP reported, but vandalism and smash-and-grab thefts continued unabated.
Same thing happened to the Chicago flagship store, formerly Marshall Fields, on Saturday night. Tons of damage done and a lot taken.
Super sad.
