Fall Out From George Floyd's Death Continues To Escalate...
Fires are burning again tonight in Minneapolis and there have also been reports of rioting in New York and LA.
The protests I understand and I know that people are angry, but I don't think most of the rioting is even the same crowd, those looting and rioting are just causing violence and taking advantage of the situation.
Looting spread to St. Paul beginning early Thursday afternoon, centered on University Avenue in the Midway neighborhood. Police have been clashing with looters and protesters for hours dark smoke and flame are everywhere.
Several businesses in the Twin Cities closed down and boarded up Thursday in anticipation of continued riots and looting, including Mall of America and Rosedale Center. Metro Transit announced the suspension of all buses and light rail operation through the weekend.
As a Nation there is a lot of frustration that can no longer be ignored.
The video of Floyd's death has now caused outrage in the city of Minneapolis and all over the country. Residents of the city have protested his death since Tuesday. Though they have been mostly peaceful, on Wednesday, officials said "a core group of people" not from Minneapolis caused destruction.
People need to feel there is a sense of justice and they can count on society or mayham breaks out.
I think many people feel the government's power is out of control and that there is little justice, it just impacts some people more than others.
My son was on the fringes of the craziness earlier today. For what it’s worth, he sent me a text during the afternoon:
What a mess.... according to Science all those protestors will be dead in 2-3 weeks from #covid19
lol highly unlikely. The vast majority of people don't die from covid.
Those who are already sick and dying do.
