Not only the down time while your place is rebuilt, but then as everyone should know, when you file a claim the premium increases.
Usually substantially.
Maybe enough that the business owner who wasn't exactly raking, now cannot afford his/her new insurance costs and is forced to close.
An insurance policy for a small business store front usually costs less than $1000 a year, includes coverage for lost income on a loss like a building fire or vandalism, and won't increase in premium from a loss like this.
Oh.  Well that just makes it all better.

Let the city burn to the ground. No big deal.  Somebody has insurance.  It's all good.

It's not "no big deal," but the outrage regarding the riot is far outstripping the outrage for Gray's death. Which is wrong. The police beating a handcuffed suspect to death is a tragedy. Rioters burning/breaking/stealing stuff is not.
Way to double-down on your stupidity.

If you had even an iota of self-awareness, you would STFU in these forums.

Good to know that you disagree. In tec's world, a handcuffed man beaten to death by the police = no big deal. Rioters break glass, steal shoes, throw bricks = outrageous.

Rioters causing millions in damage to small and large businesses who had nothing to do with Freddy Gray, burning cars, injuring 20 innocent police officers that had zero to do with Freddy Gray, and now in ferguson other protesters are getting shot by rioters.

versus

an 18 time criminal resisting arrest who gets killed accidentally while being transported.

Hmmmmmmm.....



BTW - there is no evidence yet that the police 'beat the guy to death'

We don't know for sure what happened with Freddie Gray.  There's a distinct possibility that something "outrageous" caused him to die needlessly.

We're pretty certain that there has been rioting, burning and looting.  Lots of video and photographs all over the TV and the internet back that up.  Likely done by people just acting on an easy excuse to behave lawlessly and "get me some free ****".  That seems pretty outrageous.

So, no, you don't consider Gray's death outrageous?

No, you have it all wrong.    BL has already said " I'm simply saying that, of the two main events here, only one really worthy of outrage."   Obviously there is nothing outrageous with rioting, burning and looting.    That sort of behavior is as natural, and acceptable, as brushing your teeth in the morning.

Does that sound like a "no"?

It sounds like bullshit.

An uninjured person is put into handcuffs. Before the cuffs are taken off, that person has a broken neck, a severed spine, and a crushed larynx. He dies three days later from the injuries. What possibly could have happened that wouldn't be considered outrageous?
Let's play a game.  I'll call it "Let's be completely honest".

True or false: you would call "bullshit" on any statement that falls short of "the cops are murdering racist pigs".
