For the second night in a row, peaceful protests over the in-custody death of George Floyd quickly turned violent Wednesday night, with multiple building structures set ablaze, widespread looting, and continued rioting.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey requested Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to deploy the Minnesota National Guard following the social unrest. Demonstrators torched multiple building structures, including an apartment complex and surrounding buildings, an AutoZone, and other retail stores. At least a dozen stores were looted and or damaged.
“That’s like five buildings on fire,” one demonstrator said while talking to Unicorn Riot News.

Another horrifying moment came when a Target store was looted by a mob of protesters on Wednesday night.
There was a video of one man down on the ground being treated by police outside of a business last night. The man was reportedly shot after trying to loot a pawn shop. Though few details have yet emerged about the murder – the first casualty linked to the riots – a number of unconfirmed reports, including from bystanders on the scene, suggest the man was shot while attempting to loot a pawn shop in the city on Wednesday night.

Cadillac Pawn was completely cleaned out of merchandise after reports of the owner shooting a looter spread amongst the protesters. https://twitter.com/MarvinBaron6/status/1265870673798406144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1265870673798406144&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fconservativeus.com%2Fvideo-suspected-looter-reportedly-shot-dead-by-pawn-shop-owner-during-riots-in-minneapolis%2F
According to Twitter user Finding Novyon two people were shot outside of Cadillac Pawn on Bloomington Avenue.

Mayor Frey tweeted a plea for an end to the violence:
“Please, Minneapolis, we cannot let tragedy beget more tragedy,” the mayor’s tweet read. “The area along Lake has become unsafe. We are asking for your help in keeping the peace tonight.”
And to make matters worse, social unrest has spread to Los Angeles on Wednesday night, where “black lives matter protesters” surrounded and attacked police cars on Highway 101 in response to what was happening in Minneapolis.
How is that diversity working out?
Well, at least the democrats can ballot harvest their votes.
Good for the Pawn Shop Owner. Too bad that he only took one down.
“...What stealing has to do with racial equality or police brutality?”
Reparations.
I’d like to see more such shootings by civilians. Reminds me of the Korean standoff during the L.A. Riots.
I don’t know if I should be outraged or not without knowing the skin color of those involved. That is the important part.
"MURDER"? Just like that? I don't think so!
Rioters and looters should be shot by ordinary citizens whose lives, persons, and property they threaten.
As for their supposed outrage: don’t buy it ... it’s just another opportunity to get free stuff for people who don’t think they’ll ever get called on their shit because they are “victims.” That’s how it was in South LA years ago, it’s still the same.
Future CNN report:
He was a good person only looking for basic supplies for his 5 kids and now they are fatherless. :(
It’s like government handouts at tax payer expense only without the middleman.
Shoot all rioters, give them ONE warning to disperse then shoot ALL of them. PERIOD!!!
North American euphemism for a member of the urban criminal class. This unusual occupation is usually mentioned in conjunction with the subject either being slain or being taken into custody for a violent or property-related crime. A relative of the subject usually points out that the subject's demise or incarceration comes at an extremely inopportune moment, occurring just as the subject was "turning they(sic) life around."
Special K Icey Eight had a checkered past, but his mother insisted he was a "good boy" who was just turning his life around, when the aspiring rapper was gunned down by a homeowner after breaking into the house via the kitchen window.
The demonstrators are just doing the bidding of the Democrats by accelerating the destruction of businesses.
That's where I quit reading.
“Cadillac Pawn was completely cleaned out of merchandise after reports of the owner shooting a looter spread amongst the protesters. “
Translation, the cops arrested the store owner, leaving his shop completely undefended.
Was the perp black enough to vote for Biden?
Stealing for no other purpose than to protest “corrupt cops”
Yeah, let’s destroy privately owned local business! That’ll sure change the government! And that will surely thwart racism in America! Righttttt. I’m sure it will!
Pawn shop owner arrrested and treated quite harshly according to some.....no video of that, but Im only on cup 2 of coffee.
Hey, I got a great idea. Let’s trash our own neighborhood!
That looter was PWNED.
