My wife went out to to Union Square area and windows are smashed everywhere. The CVS store was cleaned out. That wasn't protest, it was straight up looting.

Lots of places were already boarded up due to COVID.

(14,272 posts)She lives in walking distance to City Hall. All the stores in her neighborhood were vandalized and looted. The lobby of her building was damaged. A residential building a few blocks from her was torched last night. She tells me the looting in her neighborhood is still going on.
She was scared to leave her apartment due to Covid. Now she has another reason to be terrified.
