Business Owners Grapple With Looting Losses and the Need for Justice | Eater

"A community-centered Boston wine shop owned by a husband-and-wife team experienced shattered windows, a cash register smashed with a sledgehammer (though no money was inside), and some stolen merchandise after weeks of pandemic hardship; security footage showing some looters as young Black men left the Black co-owner feeling particularly wounded, yet the couple—while sympathetic to voices that reject looting—called the damage "a window, not a life," noted insurance would cover repairs, and framed the loss as a small price for prompting a larger national reckoning on racial injustice." - Jenny G.
