Cleveland business owner who hid in bathroom as rioters looted her store ‘sent threats for cooperating with police’ – The Sun

THE OWNER of a cupcake stoke in Cleveland is reportedly receiving threats for cooperating with police after the looting of her store in May.

Colossal Cupcakes, owned by Kelly Kandah, was ransacked by looters during protests on May 30 due to the death of George Floyd.

Kandah told "Fox & Friends" on Monday that she has received threats for cooperating with investigators and the FBI, some even saying that they will hit her store again.

Kandah told Fox that it is upsetting people think her cooperation is 'against the cause' because she is "actually absolutely for the cause".

During the looting of the store she has owned for nearly 10 years, Kandah and four of her employees were hiding in a locked bathroom of the store.

Kandah says the police saved her life that day, Fox News reported.

"I was showing some of the damage and I was leaving, a friend and myself, and someone walking by approached us and said, 'When the store rebuilds, when you rebuild this, I'm going to come back and destroy it again and you.' He kept walking and was gone," Kandah said on "Fox & Friends".

She told hosts that she is scared to reopen the store.

Host Ainsley Earhardt asked Kandah what she says to critics that call her a racist and that she doesn't support black lives for calling and thanking the police.

"It's just really sad," she responded. "Unfortunately my store is not open right now and I'm so involved with the community and I'm so involved with our inner-city schools and I'm so for the cause that I do a lot of community service. Right now, I can't. I do't have anything being brought in to donate as much as I usually do."
