Black-owned businesses near the intersection where George Floyd was killed last year — now known as “George Floyd Square” — are begging for financial help because they say increased crime in their neighborhood is driving their businesses into the ground.
According to the New York Post, “Black merchants near the once-thriving corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue said police have abandoned the blocked-off intersection, creating a dangerous autonomous zone that has seen crime spike and business evaporate.”
The business owners have been forced to resort to GoFundMe to plea for help and ask for assistance to overcome revenue losses of over 75%.
Call Lebron James
CALL THE DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON D.C. I am sure they will help put your businesses back in order, after all they are the ones that paid for them to be destroyed. RIGHT?????
Well then quit going on about defending the police. Put up with it or shut up.
.when you voted those marxist leaders into office …you get what you deserve..go woke go broke
I wouldn’t give you all shit. Apparently you like dangerous people running around creating havoc. So have at it.
Don’t support these businesses until they speak out against BLM and call for more funds for police
I’m fumbling around looking for my shocked face.
The individual owners may be innocent victims of the area and city they set up shop in but they had to be aware of the demographic their customers would be drawn from. Elected officials have not seriously intervened to stop the looting, rioting and burning, in effect giving a green light to continuing lawlessness. The die is cast,
Well we don’t feel sorry for the community they have tore up this country with there daily rants since it happened. Enough is enough I hope they wind up like Ferguson they held riots for a year tore up and burned every building and then when they had enough they wanted the stores to reopen and rebuild and they got a ghost town I hope the same thing happens in this case burn and destroy then you can live with it.
Hold on…its somewhere around here. Give me a sec. Nope not there. Wait wait, nope not there either.
There it is…. the worlds smallest violin! Allow me to play my favorite tune titled “Pity Party for You”
Hahahahahah
