To the OP, a query ... is there some point you're attempting to make in posting this image? If so please do so.

Are these care packages for the looters or intended for business owners who now have been left with nothing but burned out shells of what once were thriving local businesses?

Please make your point, and do do logically, if that's actually possible given the context of the image provided (*horse*)

After segments of the local economy burned the stores to the ground that once sold people in the area their food, now they're getting donated/free food and supplies.

While it's great to see the outpouring of a great act of kindness by those able to help others in need this cannot continue ad infinitum and then what?

Many local stores damaged and destroyed during the rioting and looting will likely be too destitute to be able to be able to rebuild/ reopen and many of the national chain stores will be less likely to choose to rebuild and reopen in these areas.

This means just like in other areas where similar destruction and looting has taken place previously the looters effectively made sure they deprived their own communities of access to essential vendors and services from there on out.

The eventual result will be, as has been shown to have occurred elsewhere, that the social justice types will eventually protest the "injustice" and "racial inequality" of stores refusing to serve these areas.

In the aftermath of previous rioting and looting of local grocers who then were unable or simply chose not to expose themselves to similar future risks by reopening, Dollar Tree, Dollar General and Family Dollar stores rushed in to fill at least part of the needed supplies to the local economy.

This then lead to protests about how locals were being denied access to things like fresh produce and meat items and in some of those areas social justice types have now filed suits demanding these stores MUST sell these items or their permits will be denied.

So, if ya wanna be in business in these riot ravaged destruction zones you'll now be required to totally change your business model in efforts to cater to the same people who destroyed your predecessors businesses.

Sounds totally reasonable, right totally lost
