    It makes other city administrations know that this nonsense isn't for free anymore, that the city has to foot the bill.

    So you’re saying if I want to include terrorism as a peril I should get quotes from Middle Eastern insurance companies? I mean they probably have more experience in terroristic claims than anyone else.

    Huh? Virtually every commercial insurance carrier will sell you an endorsement for terrorism.

    Rioting and looting in Philly tonight, idiots destroying their own neighborhoods. They will be paying higher taxes for years to pay for the property they are destroying.

    Don’t count on it. LA has been waiting 28 years for someone to come in and help rebuild. Just more proof that Dem leaders are 100% talk and 0% action. Trump is right. It’s the “Do Nothing Democrats.”
    After L.A. Riots, Leaders Failed To Rebuild A Broken City
    April 28, 20174:31 PM ET

    The destruction from the 1992 Los Angeles riots resulted in more than $1 billion in damaged property and city leaders began to rebuild as the city was still in flames. But the project to fix the city, Rebuild LA, ultimately failed to do just that — rebuild.

    Yeah, absolutely nobody said that.
    Weren’t you the people who worried that trump wouldn’t accept the results of the election, then you guys didn’t accept the results of the election?

    I think that your speculation may be justified. I regularly read science journals and this is a subject that comes up from time to time. It has long been noticed that liberalism seems to be exclusive to Northern Europe, and that liberal reforms don't seem to take hold in places like the Middle East, Africa, and South America.

    Here in the US there are 5 cities that I have heard refered to as America's five liberal jewels. The Bay Area, Portland, Seattle, Denver-Boulder, and the Twin Cities. Sometimes Boston gets thrown in too. Interestingly enough all five cities have a rather large Nordic population. An interesting pattern with Scandinavian immigration to the US was that groups tended to migrate together, allowing them to create thriving settlements with little to no "starving time". There were sizable settlements in the vicinities of all 5 of the cities. Portland began as a merger between three towns, one of which began as a Swedish settlement. My ancestors, on my mother's side, came from a Swedish settlement in the Boulder-Longmont area in Colorado.

    Brain studies have shown that liberals tend to process new information in different parts of the brain than other people, and that certain liberal traits begin to emerge in one's childhood. That it is genetic can be seen in twin studies, where identical twins raised separately, tend to hold almost identical political and social views.

    Even though John Locke is said to be the father of liberalism, it seems that much of his ideas, and of other early liberal writers, had Nordic roots going back to prehistoric times, where ideas like a trial by jury and leaders being selected and held accountable to the people were practiced. Even women's rights has roots in ancient Nordic society.

    Scandinavian holidays like the Midsummer festivals are celebrated in places like the Pacific Northwest and Minnesota.

    Yeah, there absolutely no valid scientific studies on how brains process information, determined by political affiliation.

    When has that ever bothered them before?

    I love how conservatives never own up to the things they've said.

    You're the ones that didn't accept the election. You lost and so you stole it.

    Put your money where your mouth is, and link one republican who said they’re going to riot if trump lost?
    Lol, I see you folks haven’t come to terms with the fact that you lost the election. These next four years are going to be bad for you, I see.

    I wonder why the left isn’t going full Karen over people who are breaking quarantine to “protest “?

    In the business, but not a commercial guy, so grain of salt.

    Some exclusions for Terrorism and war yes, but there is a federal reimbursement too, google TRIA if you want to explore that complicated mess of words that is that law.

    Riots and civil commotion are generally covered from what I understand, they arent "terrorism "

    I suspect that certain areas might pay overall higher premiums related to increased risk not sure if they spread that out equally across a state.

    That probably explains why republicans did better than democrats on a test of knowledge of current events in 2012.

    "When has that ever bothered them before?"

    Precisely. Offer no federal assistance and make it come from city and state taxpayers only. When it's no longer a free-for-all, but costly, watch the kid gloves come off when riot-loot-burn is orchestrated again.

    The left has decided that rioting is more important than Karening.

    The local and state are no more hurt than are the Feds, THEY aren't the business owners.

    Conservatives apparently want to have old fashioned riots like in the early 1900's and 1890's, when actual individuals chased down and killed other individuals of both races but the businesses are left alone. A lot more people die but nobody's taxes go up.

    Let the local and state, only, make the business owners whole.

    Likely the racist ones vote conservative. And the racist ones that kneel on the neck of a black man is likely the reason for race issues

    Actually we should let the insurance cos do it like is done normally.

    The local and state will just shrug and say they don't have it and the business owners will be screwed, as usual. I still don't see the benefit in that. What you're doing is like beating up the students because the teacher didn't show up.

    Business owners are being screwed now local and state governments, run by dems, who simply did nothing as left wing terrorist fire bomb and loot their stores. Thankfully the president stepped in to help bring order

    I thought of that last night. Not a word from the usual suspects over the improper social distancing while they were looting and burning a Post Office or bank. Funny how that goes.

    I did get a kick over one whiny protestor who came running up to a local reporter complaining she had been hit by a rubber bullet and it left a mark on her ankle. My comment on that, the officer needed more marksmanship practice.
