Minneapolis firefighter Korboi "KB" Balla says his dream was always to open a sports bar, something he almost achieved after "countless hours" working on the project.
His initial open date in March had to be pushed back because of the coronavirus pandemic. He was ready to finally open his doors in June, but that plan came to a crashing halt when rioters destroyed his business on Wednesday.
"I don't know what I'm going to do," a teary-eyed Balla told a CBS affiliate.

Since all of these riots and acts of destruction are organized, why don't all of these businesses request who is organizing them? Upon finding out, sue for all of the destruction.

They should also sue the city for not protecting their businesses by refusing to squash the criminal rioting, looting, and arson.

My bet it is George Soros money behind each organization that put the plan in motion. Follow the money.

Sue, sue, sue... pooh! Lawyers love that, but it takes too long; and there are too many Ozero judges in place. Hot-headed rioters must be met with instant justice to stop this mindless destruction.

That unfortunate black firefighter lost everything because his leftie boss believed “the symbolism of a building cannot outweigh the importance of life.”
Mayor Frey to black riot victim: “Suck it up, buttercup; It’s for the cause or something, man!”

Another note:
I just noticed the word, “devastated,” in the headline, is in quotation marks. Does the writer intend to imply a different meaning here? Like Mr. Balla was something other than truly “devastated?”

Amazingly, losing over 100k folk of all races to the Chinese induced flu and being locked up by politicians does very little to Americans in general. However, one Black man dies at the hands of White folk and riots engulf the Country. So this is what America has become?

I feel for this man. There's no excuse for thugs ruining his business. However, when you can't get insurance for your new business because of a bad location, it is a hint to open somewhere else. He made a bad choice.

I think I saw somewhere that this guy has already been made whole via GoFundMe.
i don't care enough to verify it.
The cynic in me wonders if this was a sideshow to the main event to launder some money.

I suspect that traditionally, these rioters and the authorities figure that insurance will reimburse the businesses and they can rebuild. Just goes to prove these rioters and authorities have absolutely NO idea how things work in the business world. They just keep jacking up the taxes to soak them for revenue. That is all they know.

Boo hoo, cry me a river. His life choices and votes led him to this point. Deal with it, bro. All is well in Central Florida because we don’t play that shite. Enjoy your poverty. You earned it. No mercy for Democrats and their sanctuary cities.

Build in that kind of a neighborhood, and this is what you get.
Can't have nice things in a not-nice place.

Sorry this happened to him, but he was really dumb not to have insurance on this, especially if it represented his life savings.
I checked his Go Fund Me account and it looked like he had almost $550,000 in donations so he won’t be hurting and will actually come out better than if it hadn’t happened.

#7 for what it's worth, basic insurance policies exclude damage caused by rioting.
