I believe the expansion of this to protect private business is a good thing. No, this doesn't mean "shoot 'em all" But like said above, looting and destruction of "community service asset" property impacts more than just the owner. Many stories are coming out of some of the worst of the riot areas that the people that live around there don't have grocery stores to buy food at. Most of the businesses they use to maintain their lifestyle have been ripped apart and some will never open again. I for one can easily see how I would be greatly impacted if I had to go out of county to buy food and clothing. That's more than just an inconvenience.
Some businesses are vital to support these communities and those most impacted by the loss should be able to band together and defend "Private property that by it's nature is a community asset" As an example, I own a property that has a water well that supplies a fairly large community. If that well is destroyed in a local riot after some career thug gets his ticket punched, then hundreds of people are going to suffer because a few "Disaffected Youths" want to use it as an excuse to cause mayhem. I strongly suspect that very few of the rioters even knew the criminal in Minnesota prior to his drug induced death.
Keep in mind, while the majority of people are fairly well meaning and even harmlessly self absorbed, there exists a % of the populace that just want to watch the world burn solely for the entertainment of it all. And they use every excuse they can find to light the match. Same group is usually the first in line screaming "Gimme my free stuff"
