- After the riots and the looting the existing small shops will go out of business
- Big shopping chains will not re-open
- If someone wants to open a new shop they will be told to pay huge insurance premiums, so fewer new shops will open
- Private schools will close
- Wealthy black people (footballers, sports people, etc. ) will move away and will not invest their money in areas where there are riots happening
- Fewer shops = fewer jobs = more poverty
- Some corrupt politicians will promise to "change" things (until they get rich themselves and then will also flee the area)
- People cannot buy food because there is are no more shops
- Crime will rise
- The federal government sends more police
- More riots start happening
- More tax-paying citizen leave the area
- The city itself gets poorer
- Less money is there to fund schools, hospitals, fire stations and police stations
Now let us picture a normal day for a normal man in that neighborhood. He is hungry and wants to get something to eat: The next burger joint is in 20 miles away. He has a car but he needs spare parts. They recently burned down the local auto shop so he would have to get parts from a shop 70 miles away. So he decides to walk to a food store 5 miles away. On his way out he hears gun shots on the corner. Then he sees people getting shot on the streets. Once we would have called the police, but they stopped servicing his neighborhood some time ago. He pulls out his cell phone not realizing that AT&T just stopped to cover his area because nobody was paying their bills and it was not profitable to maintain the cell phone towers there.
What will happen next ?
