    It definetly doesn’t help, if the small business corner shop owner gets looted. It just eliminates big corpos competition.

      Can you share some sources of small shops getting looted? During the London riots it was Barclays Bank, PC World, Argos, and Tesco that were looted, not the boutique coffee shop or hand-made jewelry stores. Even the pictures on Wikipedia of the riots are just of these stores.

      Though there are some criminals we could never forgive.
