OFC they do. It finally directly impacted them personally.
Remember, they vote to defund the police, they vote for gun control, for "environmental impact" policies, etc.. Because they are so insulated against any of the repercussions that it never comes to their mind. They don't give a fuck if stores are shut down because of theft or looting because they don't go to those stores anyway.
But now, since this is literally "in their backyard" and they are directly impacted they are pissed off. "How DARE my actions result in repercussions for ME". If this gets the city/state to go RED then ill take the win but these morons will probably keep voting for the same destructive policies and politicians that caused this preventable fuck-up.
