    I mean, anyone can put up that sign, though, that doesn’t really mean it really has any bearing on reality.

    I also don’t really think that “whether or not they can afford repairs or insurance” is on the foremost mind of looters. Well, foremost, I would think “hey this is easy money” for the vast majority, or “hey fuck everything”, maybe,

    But I would also think that, in terms of political activism, you would want to target businesses which aren’t equitable, and which are leeching things out of the community. Gentrified businesses, businesses which are just kind of, external to the community, businesses where the owner is just a real piece of shit, stuff like that, I think, would be more in the realm of political activism. You know, if you’re doing any of that, then you would more likely want to target businesses that don’t have insurance or can afford repairs, actually, because you’d be more likely to get those businesses shut down, or driven out of the community.
