Awful.

Three U-Haul trucks destroyed at J-Ribs on State Street.

Good afternoon Rochester,
Last night our business fell victim to violence spurred by misdirected anger. I wanted to make this post to share Jribs on state st. is a Native Rochester owned business. We certainly are not the enemy in this scenario and are deeply saddened by the violence that occurred last night.
In these trying times we as Rochestarians need to COME TOGETHER for our city and build eachother up, not destroy one another regardless of dividing factors. We hope you all can help us spread peace, love, and positivity going foreward.
I have had several people reach out about what they can do to help, or where they can send donations I have attached my Venmo account. We are in no way requesting donations but it is there for those who would like.
The best thing you can do to help would be to come by the shop, chat with us and meet us, and help us grow our business by being a patron! Remember our shop is highly versatile, in addition to selling food we are also a convenience store AND a Uhaul rental/pick up destination. Thank you to those who support us, as we support you back!
I am making $125 per hour working online on my laptop among my family. I continue doing work in my room talking to them. Its too easy to complete it no experience or skill required. You just need internet connection and PC/Laptop. For more information visit……..Read More
This is SAD! These people that are out to destroy and vandalize do not know God.. Where are the black leaders that claim to be men of God? Hey Al Sharpton!! Why aren’t they out there talking to these people? And white pastors also.. Are they afraid? Or do they not care? Law and order must be restored or America is doomed. God is watching & waiting for Men of God to act and they are staying at home, probably watching on TV..
I actually heard Pastor TJ Jake speak fondly of BLM on TBN the other night. Is he blind or one of them? People can protest without vandalizing and screaming obscene words. This is all of bunch of low life uneducated people that love to destroy and cause chaos~ When will these blacks realize that white people of today respect and support them in being equal?. Why are we being blamed for the actions of people of the past? This is wrong and should be stopped. And yes, the Military should be brought in to stop this stupid mess. Don’t they realize that the ones that are out there destroying towns are all uneducated idiots? They don’t even know why they are doing this. They just go along with these other idiots.
