"Retailers including Nordstrom, Tiffany and Saks Fifth Avenue say they?re planning to board up windows or add extra security personnel in some locations ahead of the presidential election."

ADVERTISEMENTS
U.S. News reports.
More than 600 locations, particularly in Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C., have put in work orders to board up windows or add related security measures in advance of the election... Nearly two-thirds of those orders have been received since this past Tuesday. 
Did something shift? Did the prospect of a Trump win recently crystalize in the retail imagination? It's not a Biden win that gives rise to a real fear of violence, is it? Or... at least not the kind of violence that calls for boards on the windows of Nordstrom, Tiffany and Saks Fifth Avenue.

The article quotes the general counsel of National Retail Federation: ?If you board up early, does that increase the likelihood there is going to be violence in that area, or does that discourage it?? Apparently, the pros and cons have been weighed, though U.S. News doesn't enumerate them. I'd guess that boarding up sends an us-versus-them message ? We think you people are vandals and thieves. But if you actually believe that message, you might find it unwise to refrain from sending it.
