Body found in Minneapolis pawnshop that was torched in George Floyd protests
NY Post ^

Posted on 07/22/2020 10:38:35 AM PDT by matt04

A charred body was found in the wreckage of a Minneapolis pawnshop this week — nearly two months after the building was burned down in the protests that followed George Floyd’s police-custody death.

Investigators were acting on a tip when they found the man’s body in the rubble of Max It Pawn on East Lake Street in south Minneapolis, police spokesman John Elder told the Star Tribune.

“The body appears to have suffered thermal injury and we do have somebody charged with setting fire to that place,” Elder told the paper.

The man’s identity was not immediately released pending the results of an autopsy, which will determine the specific cause and manner of death.

The details and precise timeline of the man’s death are not completely clear, but a police news release obtained by the paper suggested he died in the blaze that destroyed the pawnshop on May 28.

Don't worry, they were mostly peaceful protests.

Thermal injury? Seems like it should be thermal death. Eh, whatever.

Hope it was one of the rioters who caught some lead from the pawn shop owner.

I have to wonder why it took so long to find this body and why the authorities had to rely on a tip to do so.

Facts and accurate statements are stupid and are no longer used in journalism.

What is the BLM body count by now?

Not directly countable: Those lost to increased “regular” homicides when areas are “de-policed” - by order of Democrat mayors, or when individual cops judge (correctly) that no one has their back.

And the dems, with their willing accomplices in the media, keep up the lie that these were peaceful summer of love protests.

I wish upon the democrat party the evil they brought upon the innocent shopkeepers and residents of the targeted areas.

Can a DB suffer injury? Or does it suffer damage?

OTOH, wounds can be post-mortem.

Most people don't want to think about burning to death.

Guess it's on the ME now.

Will we be making decals of the victim to put on NFL helmets?

I was wondering the very same thing.
