MINNEAPOLIS — Brandy Moore likened the charred remains of her south Minneapolis clothing store and recording studio to the pangs for equality that minorities here feel.
Moore, a black woman, said she started the business from the trunk of her car once she left a job with Minneapolis Public Schools in 2011 to pursue her passion for fashion and music. As looters ransacked his St. Paul store, this business owner hid in the bathroom and whispered to 911 He felt as if he were in a movie, the St. Paul native said. As display cases were shattered and electronics taken from inside his store, he whispered to 911 dispatch asking for help.
Segal sat in his vehicle for hours as rioters peed in his store and took items ranging from knick-knacks and DVDs to a snow-blower. He said coronavirus concerns forced him to close his business for the better part of two months. They'd been reopened a little more than a week when the building was ransacked.
"Indefensible what happened to Mr. Floyd, but this doesn't make it better. And I don't know what does."While Moore and Segal both said they are insured, they don't believe insurance alone will enough to replace everything they've lost. People typically see business owner and think"wealth," Segal said.Understanding insurance policies can be difficult for many small business owners, said Allison Sharkey, executive director of the, which supports local companies.
"When you get it out the mud — meaning when you get it on your own, no handouts ... someone just handing you money doesn't equate," she said."It's deeper than that."
When will someone speak up and report the difference between rioters and protesters?
Too bad he didn't have a bunker to hide in like some cowards that talk tough who shall remain nameless
Clearly, business owners need to be law abiding gun owners.
