Rioters try forcing way into bakery, but owner and sons meet them at door with guns — and rioters take their hard day's work elsewhere

"They came at us with bats and threw rocks at our windows ... and then I was like, 'Alright''

Rioters in downtown Cleveland "systematically smashed out windows and looted stores, restaurants, and bars" on Saturday, WJW-TV reported. But family members who own and run Corbo's Bakery weren't about to let rioters have free rein upon the business they worked hard to build over the years.............when rioters tried forcing their way into the bakery using bats and other weapons, owner Joe Corbo and his two sons armed themselves with guns, met the rioters at the door, and said — in effect — just try us.

By and large the protesters kept a move on after seeing the firepower they were up against, but livestreamed video of the incident caught one of the bakery's windows being broken — and that apparently was the extent of the rioters' courageous stand.........To Read More....

My Take - Cleveland's my town and like the owner, I love Cleveland. This store is in an area known as Little Italy! I've been to his store, I've eaten in many of the restaurants, and Little Italy is one of my favorite parts of Cleveland for a number of reasons. One, great food!!!!! Two, absolute safety! You can walk around the streets and go into the art galleries with your wife and friends and feel comfortable you'll get home without incident.

This kind of crap has played out in the past in Little Italy where a bus load of young black thugs went into Little Italy and planned on causing trouble. They were met with locals who had a different view. The local papers called them racists and more, but one thing was made clear. No one was going to come into Little Italy and destroy it.  If Ohio’s restaurants weren’t shut down by our idiot governor, I doubt this would have gotten as far is it did.
