Dan Buxton’s owns Play It Again Sports in La Mesa California. His store was looted and set on fire Saturday night during the protests turned riots.
Some opportunists took advantage of the moment to loot, vandalize and burn local businesses.
Buxton watched people shatter the glass of his storefront with his own baseball bats and run off with his merchandise.
When the riot subsided and morning came, as Dan was cleaning up the shattered glass at his store, a young man approached him and said he needed to make things right.
The man said, ‘I feel horrible, I was not part of the rioting, but I did go into your store and I did take things.’
The man gave Dan a bag of things he had taken from the store as well as a bag of stuff he took from neighboring Sally’s Beauty. Dan immediately forgave him.
Jack Kulp and Carolyn McArdle talked about it on the air. Listen below...
