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.

Gitz has no idea what he’s talking about.
Saying that doesn't change the interviews I watched at the time.
Oh yeah, the politicians are all shit.
