So my wife used to work at Georgetown Optician down in DC. It's on Wisconsin a couple blocks from M street.
Yesterday her little brother texted us that he saw this on Twitter. This was around like 2pm.
So my wife texted the owner of the store and a bunch of employees she still keeps in touch with about it and forwarded it to them.
She just found out last night that the store was looted. The owner and his family lives in an apartment above the store too. The owner is probably in his mid 60's and has cancer. They were confronted by the looters probably trying to protect the store and basically had to "escape" out the back of the store down the alley for their safety.
They are okay but that is all the details I have. I'm not sure if like a bunch of stores in Georgetown around there were looted or not or if this was in fact a targeted loot.
Clearly based on that text, this had absolutely nothing to do with the protest and just a bunch of people taking advantage of the situation. It's mind boggling to me that some people still can't grasp that the people looting and causing all this chaos are NOT the protestors.
