You mean the one where korean store owners had to defend their businesses by shooting from the rooftops? That seems like an obvious case of owner operated businesses were still targeted.

Right.

But they don't have a corporate policy against self-defense.

Of course people keep escalating shoplifting if it's known policy not to engage.

Sounds less like "the community [...] looking out for you" and more you using violence to protect your property.

That was 30 years ago in another city. The rioters are 50 years old now.
