The legal action, filed last week in Hennepin County District Court, argues that the businesses have lost revenue, real estate value, reputation, and tenant and rental income. It argues that the city's decisions led to higher crime and created a “no go zone” for police in the area. It replaces an earlier lawsuit by the businesses that was dismissed two months ago.
Isn't that rich the businesses are unhappy that the lack of police presence is causing them issues
Did they though? I actually get the impression that they were among the few that DIDN'T want things to go that way, that didn't encourage the rioting, that didn't want the police essentially dismantled. But I haven't looked at the article, and don't know who these "business owners" are.
I have friends in the twin cities. It was virtually all businesses.l who went along with the leftists. There was no meaningful dissent against the Floyd riots whatsoever. We can safely say that a bunch of people went along to get along, but almost 100% of those businesses cucked hard for BLM and got what they deserved.
I can't believe they have the acumen to even set up a business. I've worked with very talented engineers and designers who have a political IQ of 60 and drop logic for emotion on a dime, and that still confounds me.
No they didn't. The situation for the businesses and homes is way worse than anyone actually understood. They were basically barricaded in their homes and businesses for weeks as a violent, armed, mob got into multiple gunfights with drug dealers and each other. They were effectively besieged, called the police, and wanted some way to protect their stores and homes or get evacuated, and were told it was not possible.
Anyone who left got their homes and stores looted and then squatted on by Communists.

Not surprised. They get what they asked for.

One of the businesses suing, changed their name to Unity Foods.
It was to try and protect their business, use your head ffs.
True. I just assumed these were the ones encouraging it, but clearly not all business owners

Who has the acumen?

Gotcha. And the mayor told the cops to stand down. But I do remember local politicians whining about the spike in crime.
Gitz has no idea what he’s talking about.
Oh yeah, the politicians are all shit.
