Business owners in some parts of the nation are concerned and uncertain whether they should open on or around Election Day amid fears of protests or destruction, local groups and police officials said.
Authorities in Chicago, Miami, Portland, Washington, D.C. and other cities are working with local business people to address potential ways businesses could be impacted before, during and after the election, law enforcement officials and representatives of business groups told FOX Business.
Elliot Richardson, president and co-founder of the Chicago-based Small Business Advisory Council, said Friday that fear “of civil unrest and looting [after the election] looms large over communities that really faced that during the summer.”
I live now in DC and my neighbors whom many are people of color, are getting ready for their Christmas Looting. They are casing stores and noting the locations of items they plan on grabbing on Nov. 4th. They know the Mayor will tell the Cops to stand down and let them steal. It is a joke to think LE and the Mayor give a crap about business owners!
