People are running scared, Phil.
Business owners don't want a target painted on their shop. Rather explain away a few unhappy customers than have a full blown riot trash and burn your store. Cops should be dealing with this kind of assault but they're stretched too thin and/or the commanders are making them stand down. Customers start fights or pulling guns and then they'll get arrested. The BLM movement is too well funded and staffed and coordinated for normal balancing processes to take care of it.
They're trying to take down the country, any way they can. And it'll get worse after Nov 3rd, no matter who wins.
