Why Didn't Any Store Owners Defend Their Property?

Missouri has a Castle Law which allows a business owner to defend his or her place of business while they are in it when there is a threat to safety.
It seems boarding up and placing signs that state if you come in, I am going to perceive it as a threat and kill you - and then carrying out on that promise - would be completely legally defensible.
Why did it not happen?

Some surely did, the ones that are now on fire either didn't or ran out of bullets.

I ask myself the same thing. I couldn't imagine not being there armed to the teeth to prevent my hard work from being destroyed by a herd of wild animals.
Does insurance cover all of the damage? I'm not sure if insurance will cover "spontaneous and organic demonstrations..."

i bet more just made sure their insurance paid out for vandalism, and intentional destruction.

They did. And were armed in doing so. Hence, no one messed with them

I put in another thread that I'd put some mines in the front of the store for the looters. If they're gonna burn it down anyway, why not take some of the assholes with the store. If they don't break in to loot, they don't die.

It is an odd situation. While we properly value life over property in this nation, when you have built a business and your family's livelihood depends on that income, it seems that you would defend it.
The first guy in the door of that liquor store getting smoked would have surely slowed their progress.
Having said that, I wonder if it would have slowed the aggression or drawn attention and resulted in an even worse outcome.

Nope. The vast majority of insurance policies have waivers due to riots and other act of terror.

they absolutely did the first time around, they weren't there for round 2 because they'd already relocated.
the people who didn't/couldn't either did and you're not hearing about it, didn't because they were afraid, didn't because they didn't have the requisite firearms, or didn't because they believe in gun control

That was said last night. I don't know if true or not. I do know that business deductibles for insurance is very expensive...tens of thousands of dollars in some cases.

These are mobs of brutal people. I don't believe they would have just turned and ran if I fired at the first one or two. I think I would have been overwhelmed and killed.

Wrong. After you killed one or two the rest of the mob would have turned around and run to the nearest lawyer.

The bigger question is why did the authorities not use every measure available to protect these businesses. They had to have known this was going to happen. They should have put a thousand National Guard troops on the streets in front of those businesses with orders to shoot and kill anyone who tried to loot or otherwise damage one of those business establishments. I guess the authorities were too worried about infringing upon the rights of the rioters and being seen as being insensitive to their situation. Basically they said to hell with the rights of the peaceful law abiding business owners. This is a sick and twisted society we live in.

Riots, acts of terror, acts of god, they don't actually insure anything do they?
