If a store owner does that to me and my family, and increases my/family risk of injury...they are going to see me go flash mob on them!
I don't give a damn about their insured merchandise if my/family life is threatened. I don't me or my family be locked in with them. I don't want to be held hostage.

You have a right to sue and the store owner has a right to protect their merchandise (much of which isn't insurable BTW). Its easy to say so strongly how you would sue but if the shoe was on the other foot and it was your house being looted, I bet you would lock those doors possibly on my family.
Its your duty to protect your family. Likewise its the duty of the shop owner to protect his family/livelihood. It is illegal for any shop owner to lock all exits. As if in a fire you should have the understanding of the exit signs to the back for escape or the means for defense if you can't.
I would never award someone money in this situation unless you were suing the flash mob participants.
