I believe in principle you can only be pro-business or anti-business. If 'pro-big-business' means keeping some people out of business to make more business for other business, that isn't business at all -- rather a rehash of violent coercion comparable to the regular operations of mafias and gangs. In essence, established business -- like a mafia, is staking their territory and using their strong-arm (cops) as muscle, to stifle competition and maintain their monopoly. These kids did not have permission from any 'family leaders', therefore their operation was disassembled.
