Central Camera to Reopen After BLM Looted and Burned It-- Part 3: Owner Not Angry at People Who Destroyed It
The 72-year-old Don Flesch, owner of Central Camera, quickly earned praise on social media for keeping his cool as BLM looted and then burned his place of business. He further refused to be angry at the people who destroyed it.
"What good does anger have, and what good does thinking about what's gone?" he said. "I'm angry about what's tied to the legacy of this poor guy, Mr. Floyd ... that there were riots that destroyed things in his name. That's not in his name. That bothered me quite a bit and it still does."
Since that night, several Central Camera employees occasionally have been setting up a tent outside the ruined store to sell merchandise. But a lack of people in the Loop, because so many companies have people working from home as well as the numerous businesses looted and destroyed by the BLMers, have hurt sales. Flesch wonders how many of his 17 furloughed workers he'll be able to call back.
And, still many media outlets just refer to those nights as demonstrations and not riots and none of them uses the term BLM when mentioning what happened.
But, We Know. We Know. --Old Secesh
