Yet, we seem to have moved on from Minneapolis, or at least covering the extend to the destruction of the city. Michael Tracey decided to venture into Mill town, braving threats of violence from Antifa. Tracey, who conducted interviews with folks sifting through the rubble of their community, noted that minorities hate Antifa, but that’s beside the point. In a lengthy Twitter thread a few days ago, he documented the aftermath and it’s eye-opening. We knew it was going to be based off what Rosas saw the night all of this went down. Julio is a veteran of covering such demonstrations, especially Antifa, and he said he never saw anything like what he witnessed when Minneapolis was burning.

Looks awful familiar. The rioters and looters, er, ‘protestors’ I saw in LA in 92 weren’t checking to see who owned the stores they were looting and torching.

I live in Minnesota, about 90 miles from the Twin Cities. Even here there has been little to no coverage of what’s really happened.

No one from here is going to Minneapolis though people often did before so we have no first hand accounts of what it’s like now.

They burned down a well known Science Fiction Bookstore with a large number of Signed First Editions during this. No sure if they are going to reopen.

Yep. The left talked about “bricks and mortar” and how they will rebuild and everything will be better as the riots will solve racism and every will live happily ever after. Target seems to be the only idiots willing to rebuild. Depending on how MPLS handles the police situation, they will probably rebuild the precinct, but I can’t see anyone else rebuild in that area.
