Downtown Nashville was devastated by rioting Saturday night as agitators set fire to the courthouse, an American flag and vandalized businesses in the tourist district.
A Nashville bar owner says he will not tolerate looters and has given orders to his security team to “shoot to kill.”
Steve Smith owns a popular bar on Lower Broadway and he told television station WKRN that he “has armed security at all his businesses downtown and if there is vandalism or looting at his places, they will shoot to kill.”
