Unless those workers are needed at other nearby Wendys, they're unemployed. Such a clusterfook all around. Anyone the police refuse to protect should have an open and shut case for a huge property tax refund and abatement. That might light a fire under some career politicians. |
We have a family friend who owns 3 Wendy's franchises, and I would confirm that the above is true. She (and others) were/are pissed at cops, so they burned down the scene of the crime, which happens to be owned by an entity totally independent of all this mess. These protesters aren't insane. They're just selfish.
