I didn't know Ostriches could type!? You have to be one, since you've got your head stuck in the ground or something, because megacorps weren't the only ones being looted. I even recall a clip where a bunch of looters were trying to pull open a door to a small store.

Truthfully, a few opportunistic looters is not reason enough to shut down protests against fascism. Yes, it is unfortunate if any small businesses were affected by looting. No, its not a gotcha.

Even small businesses have insurance. Especially in California. Ask me how I know.

Oh, and you saw a clip? Do you live in LA, or even CA? Are you sure that clip was this particular batch of protests and not old footage?
