Soho rioters hurt working-class people — not rich CEOs and celebs
https://nypost.com/2020/06/06/soho-rioters-hurt-the-working-class-not-rich-ceos-and-celebs/Bonnie* is a retired teacher who now sells her art on Prince Street near her rent-stabilized apartment in Soho. She is not the kind of trust-funder, rich celebrity or wealthy CEO most people assume live in Soho.
During the third calamitous night of looting in Soho on Monday, Bonnie looked out her window to see a dozen men uniformly dressed in black camouflage burst into a luxury retailer on the ground floor of her building. A moment later, in a well-orchestrated maneuver, a $330,000 Rolls-Royce SUV pulled up and the looters piled their booty into the car, which then drove away with the spoils of war.
And war it was. Not a peaceful protest over the killing of a black man. Not anger at brutal cops. Not outrage at the social injustice endemic in our society.
Riots hurt everyone.
