Local businesses in SoCal prepare for possible election unrest

Across California, merchants are covering their doors and windows with plywood as police agencies promise a beefed-up presence on the street amid worries about the potential for demonstrations and violent responses to the general election. Wendy Burch reports for the KTLA 5 News at 3 on Nov. 2, 2020.

Don't buy Plywood....buy it an investment in community relations...The minute the Mayor tells Cops to stand by...file a class action law suit for endangering the public and for damages resulting from negligence...

Imagine boarding up your business and then voting for Biden.

This is just wrong. On so many levels. Shame on anyone on the lookout to loot.

[jeremyjoseph]

Looting will to damage against continue.. Prayer for looting damage at all stores, all malls, all banks, anything damage.. 🙏🙏

We had to board up our business in downtown San Diego, a building that I helped build. We did it before and it probably saved us from vandalism and theft a couple months ago when other businesses on the street got their windows broken and looted. It's shameful what is happening. These aren't protestors, they're domestic terrorists. God help this country!

This is what happens when thugs are asked to stand by, when people are divided along political lines, when literacy is in decline and spectacle becomes the new normal.

Just take everything out of the stores how stupid can people be
Put it in storage take it home something

Plywood is way cheaper than replacing windows

America will survive !! God bless you all.

We need a change in CA politics, I'm tired of one party rule in CA. Democrats have run CA into the ground.

I am an Arab-American. I would like to send a message to the presidential candidates when announcing the winner. that America is more important than any one person. Because I feel that the whole world hopes that there will be problems in this election . we will assure the world that America will not fulfill there desire . So that the world knows America is the country of democracy and freedom.
🇺🇸 God bless America 🇺🇸

Me a call of duty player: my time has come

[Reptitude]

This is so sad, it is almost like it is being encouraged why because very few get arrested. Right now it is stores and shops, want is next.

What a transgression if someone destroys cheer painted on a wall.

People did warn you about this madness. But, America tends to still live in their own bubble. You guys are barely seeing the truth in you all. You guys aren’t different from the rest of us. Take care everyone
