When it's all said and done what will the actual cost be for all the rioting, looting, arson etc?

Having failed in every effort to nullify an election - from begging electors to become unfaithful to an actual impeachment - you© now use destruction of innocent Americans in your© devil’s plan

Impeachment is a pure political , constitutional way of removing a president.

After 9/11, many insurance companies changed their policies and listed an additional option labeled, “terrorism”. It was an additional cost and I didn’t take it. It was expensive and IMO, not worth it? How will these riots be listed by insurance companies? Will they list it as domestic terrorism and will they be legally exempt from covering these losses? I’ve not heard this being addressed one way or the other yet but I do know it will be a very important component of this decision of whether this is covered, or not?

Was it worth it?

Communities burned down, local jobs destroyed, small business livelihoods completely erased.

Was it all worth it? Out of anger at an injustice? Burning down your own communities?

I’d say no. It wasn’t worth it. And I’m pretty sure George Floyd and other innocent black men killed by police would be pretty damn angry about what was done in their names.

Insurance companies lose money every time a riot goes.

And make money when they don’t.

Isn’t that why you buy insurance.

That’s not what the article is about, it’s about what they will insure going forward. Do you reccomend burning businesses down every few years to get insurance money?

what a bunch of horse ■■■■■

The riots happened because elements hidden within the protest were determined to get free stuff at walmart. ain’t about floyd, was never about floyd. the looting and rioting are about nothing but greed and “fun”.

I see it that way as well.

I believe the peaceful protestor are about Floyd. The others are just opportunists looking for a reason.

Sad thing about this are the people in the communities who now have to pick up the pieces. They may not get the majority of these businesses back which hurts everyone.

Mexico? The same way they didn’t pay for the, not finished, wall on the southern border.

Stay on topic please.

That’s right and…after their local fun…no federal funds. Now what

State funds to rebuild and wait until January 2021 to ask for state funds.

Allan

There are no state funds. 'Rona shut the state funds down.

Tough ■■■■■ That doesn’t give anyone the right to burn down buildings and steal property

Easy for you to say.

Why did the riots happen. Out of the left field.

No there was a reason.

Now everyone can sit back and say “no, no it is wrong to riot and loot”

Allan

We know the reason. You© failed in every attempt to bring Trump down so now you take the blood and treasure of innocent Americans in an election year so that you can say “SEE SEE ORANGE MAN BAD”.

You© are as transparent as can be.

The problem is… you© think you© are fighting Trump. You© are really fighting our Constitution. And the constitution gives state and local governments the authority to stop the riots and killing and looting and burning. Your© wet dream of images of “Tin soldiers and Trumpkins coming…” doesn’t play in an administration that acknowledges the powers of the states that is written into our constitution.

[westaussie]

I would think they would be more angry about what was done to them.

[TheRedComet]

Of course.

Doesn’t mean they’d be happy with what was done in the aftermath either.

Torching the offending police station makes sense, even if I don’t agree with it. Confronting the cops makes sense.

Burning down a Target does not make sense. At all.

Riot, civil commotion, and vandalism are covered perils under virtually all commercial property policies. They are covered causes of loss under both named perils and “all risk” policies. Carl’s building and restaurant property are insured under an “all risk” policy. The policy doesn’t exclude riot, civil commotion, or vandalism so the damage to his property should be covered.

Although riot, civil commotion and vandalism are covered perils under most commercial property policies, loss of income as a result of having the government order a shut down due to a health crisis is NOT often covered too.

That complicates the matter as many of the commercial businesses whose property was damaged in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death were still closed.

Here is an article on that added complexity where claim adjusters must factor the pandemic exclusion into the amount to resolve.

Applying this posters logic and reason, after viewing a little kid get shot, walking across the street with her father, if I’m upset enough by seeing this video, I now have the right to riot, loot and commit acts of violence on innocent people. As I told him, I’m very disappointed in my fellow Americans.

I can see that being an issue too. That makes sense as well

[Call_me_Ishmael]

Their rioting, looting, killing, and burning will not be without a price. The pendulum will swing.

@Physics_Hunter

Oh, the cost to the Dims is going to be way higher than that.

Those Suburban White Women that they love are buying guns…, lots of guns!

If I could have injected any phrase into the Lib narrative, “Defund the Police” is BETTER than that!

Even light in the loafers Greg Gutfeld screamed that he bought a gun.

The shark has been jumped, and the Dims are gonna pay at the ballot box.

Yep one of my daughters is a good example. She and her husband showed no interest in guns till all this violence but now they have bought a gun for him and are going to buy a gun for her as well.

We have laws like dont steal and commit arson.

Don’t beat or kill as well.

Great post! I would argue after the 1st day or 2 it was more about criminals and anarchists enjoying looting, burning, beating, and killing than anything.

The gutless mayors stood back and permitted it so it looks like armed property owners are starting to push back. Good for them.

[ohknow35]

An even more massive republican landslide will be the price dimocrats will pay.

Thanks libs for all your failures!

[Call_me_Ishmael]

Not to mention the tactic of ruining the polls by threatening trump supporters. They won’t even get a “heads up” in advance that they could respond to.

Those teary frowny faces are gonna be something this year. No doubt more riots too. We are ready.
