Downtown San Antonio businesses prepare for potential civil unrest after election
SAN ANTONIO โ Throughout downtown, businesses are boarding up their windows and doors, bracing for potential unrest starting on Election Day ahead of what many are calling the most contentious election of our lives. But I mean, weโve got to roll with the punches,โ said Daniel Rivera, the manager 4th Bar & Lounge Manager, who was boarding up the establishment Monday. With no exact word on when state officials will finalize election results, the possibility of destruction is hanging in limbo. Itโs likely much of the plywood that can be seen downtown right now will be left there for a few days. Starting Tuesday and as long as it takes, officials say it will be all hands on deck to respond to any unrest if needed.
