I am tired of people excusing bad behaviour. The police are doing it, and that makes me very angry. It didn't take me much time reading to see that this was not a struggling business owner.
I was not able to open the article to read it because I don't have a subscription.
What I can tell you though, if not this guy, there are many people losing it because they are losing their life savings. Small family and businesses and restaurants don't have deep pockets to bridge the gap during another lock down. It is a real thing that many will be dealing with depression and anxiety that is causing suicide and suicide attempts. I have seen it first hand and way too much as of late. So maybe I have more empathy and get frustrated when I see everyone advocate for a shut down, even though they are unaffected when everything is shut down because they don't have any skin in the game...
I saw a follow up article saying the health inspector shut him down.

As for the point, i do have sympathy, and I agree that the "Big box stores" like Walmart should limit themselves to only grocery/pharmacy only (TVs are not essential) or switch to curbside/delivery only. (Which he also has the option to do Takeout/delivery). But the way he handled it was not the correct way, and I agree that the Health Inspector did the right thing here.
