Given the preponderance of attention that has been given to the "other side" of this "non-tech political" situation by this site--the happy-glowy "completely peaceful" protests (as mentioned by at least one other Hacker News commenter in a top-level, highest-ranked comment)--I think it's fair to show the effects of what really transpired over those days, and in particular their effects on business.
As the article states, near 1000 commercial properties were damaged, and 52 were completely destroyed. This business and its employees are not the only ones grappling with the effects of this massive indiscriminate violence, and I think it's important to see the effects of those actions.
