Of course the store owner is a victim.

But I will bet you that the mainstream media's story tomorrow will be how a few looters broke into stores and main protestors tried to stop them, tried to reason with them.

In this particular newsfeed I saw about 20 looters (or maybe it was ten of them running back and forth from their car to the store.) And I saw a group of 6 men, standing 15 feet from the door, drinking, talking, laughing, and occasionally putting their hands in the air (now the universal Mike Brown support symbol.)

Certainly I don't expect citizens to perform the work of police in stopping the looting. But I didn't see those 6 citizens do anything other than watch the show in front of them.
