Businesses Board Up Ahead of DNC Protests

News summary

Ahead of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, local businesses are boarding up storefronts due to fears of violent protests, particularly from anti-Israel activists. Business owners like Scott Shapiro, who has previously experienced vandalism during protests, have opted for plywood barricades to safeguard their properties. The city's business district is transforming into a fortified area, reminiscent of past political gatherings where unrest occurred. Comparatively, businesses in Milwaukee remained unboarded during the Republican National Convention earlier this year, highlighting a perceived difference in protest intensity. The planned 'March on the DNC' protests is expected to draw tens of thousands, raising concerns about potential looting and vandalism. Many store owners are emphasizing the need for precaution as they prepare for an uncertain event next week.
