Wilmington Police arrest 5 persons for ‘looting & rioting Family Dollar Store during Hurricane Florence

  BREAKING NEWS TODAY: “Earlier this afternoon dozens of individuals went into the Family Dollar Store at 1318 Greenfield St and stole numerous items from the store. The looting was captured on social media and by a local news team which notified local police,” the police wrote on Facebook. “When officers arrived they notified store management who did not want to pursue charges initially… After consulting the District Attorney and Family Dollar Management charges will be filed against looters. Moments ago officers arrested five individuals who broke in and looted the Dollar General at 5th & Dawson Streets. Charges are pending and those details will be released as they become available.”\A local news crew that aggressively filmed the incident said they were told to stop filming people and heard gunshots. 
After Hurricane Florence swept through Wilmington, North Carolina, a Family Dollar in the city was looted for trivial items like soda pop.  Some would immediately point to the fact that Wilmington was surrounded by water and essentially became an island with limited resources.  While this may be true, it is also true that the particular location of the looting was not flooded.  People walked across the street from a housing project to loot the store.  The video shows the scene … and there was not much, if any, standing water on the ground.  Electricity in the city was being turned back on and there were cars driving around which means the streets in that particular area were not necessarily impassible.

Beyond just negative optics, the looting points out a problem with low income or “ghetto” areas that is often complained about - the lack of investment.  More specifically, this case points out why low-income/ghetto areas do not receive much investment in the form of retail locations.  Why would a store set up shop in a high-risk place? Not only would there be an obvious risk for theft, there is also the risk for robbery, arson, and more.  People often complain about the lack of resources in low income areas but those same people usually don’t look into the reasons why this is so.
