message to rioters next
PETE a family business burned
to the ground in Kenosha this
week, torching b and L offers
furniture and several other
businesses in response to the
police shooting of Jacob Blake.
The business was started by the
carpenter family forty years ago.
They are now vowing to rebuild
joining us now with is Scott the
manager at B and l
thanks for being here,
im sorry for what happened.
You noted that on Monday, when
you locked your doors to your
business, you thought it might be
the last time you would see it
and unfortunately you were
correct
talk to us about how you begin
the process of rebuilding.
How did this happen?
The process of rebuilding? We
have customers that have to be
taken care of
theyre depending on their
furniture. You know
as crazy as it sounds.
Their business still has to go
forward being in this for forty two
years, you just cant fold up
and shut the doors and say oh
well, im defeated
im not going to let this defeat
us.
We need to push forward
if we show that this defeated
us, the people who did this
they won.
You know
PETE Scott. If you saw this
coming, which you felt like, did
you? Why didnt your political
leaders, mayor governor
others? Why didnt they step
in the national guard? Is there
now but thats too late for you,
its foot
that should have been taken care
of a long time ago?
I feel that comments that our
governor had made were fueled
the fire by him, not accepting
the fact that our President
Donald Trump was wanting to
send. You know a greater amount
of troops in and he turned it
down.
I dont know how that all works
out, but I just think that that
was just a political bone. Headed
move
PETE. You know how to t works
out because it is political.
You are precisely right,
whats your message to the
rioters:
they dont know you,
they dont know your political
beliefs, but yet they burned your
furniture store down
yeah.
My message to them is: you are
defeeding the cause that you
know the protesters you are
defeating. The protesters cause
the rioters its just
hatefulness.
I dont understand where that
hate comes in somebodys heart that they want to destroy
that they want to destroy
peoples. Businesses.
In my personal opinion, you will
get further with love than this
PETE Amazing Dispotion, for what
you and your business have gone
through.

their family rebuild, find go
