Except for a small business owner, their property IS their life. Even if insurance covers the rebuild, how long does it take for the insurance to approve it? Once the insurance does finally approve it, how long does it take for the work to get done while everyone else around you also needs the services of the same groups of people? Meanwhile the entire time their only income source is shut down. Do the banks stop the interest on your loan while your store is burned down? Do the banks stop the mortgage payments on your home while your store is burned down? Do groceries become free? How many customers come back after their store is reopened? Many small businesses rely on customer loyalty to survive, and then you're having months where those customers are now going to the giant corporation that could afford to rebuild near instantly.

The idea that someone's desire to destroy innocent people's livelihood for the sake of chaos and getting free shit without consequence is more important than someone's right to protect their own livelihood and the security of their family's lives is part of the ***** problem.
