Black Lives Matter did burn down an area of Minneapolis.
Don't expect the left to believe that. Doesn't fit the narrative.
The widespread acts of arson occurred in the aftermath of the
murder of
George Floyd on May 25, 2020, and affected properties in the cities of
Minneapolis,
Saint Paul, and
Apple Valley in the
U.S. state of
Minnesota.
Most acts of arson targeted commercial businesses, but schools, non-profit organizations, government offices, and private residences were also targeted by arsonists or indirectly affected by fire.[7] The most notable arson damage was to the Minneapolis Police Department's third precinct police station that was overrun by demonstrators and set on fire the night of May 28.
[1] A few blocks away from the police station the same night, Oscar Lee Stewart Jr. died from inhalation and burn injuries after being trapped inside a pawn shop that had been set on fire.
[8][9][10] During several nights of chaos, fires displaced several dozen residents who evacuated affected houses and apartment buildings.
After the rioting subsided, state and
federal authorities had difficulty identifying those responsible for causing destruction.
[16]
(Imagine that!) Yet they had no trouble identifying and arresting those who were at or near the Capitol on J6 and throwing them in jail.
By May 2021, a year after the civil unrest over Floyd's murder,
federal investigators had only filed arson charges against 17 people for damages at 11 properties in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan region, despite arson affecting nearly 200 properties.
[17]
No surprise there.
In many instances, business owners were left paying for damages out of pocket as more than half of all riot-related losses were not covered by insurance.[6]
So sad.
Some business owners raised money via
GoFundMe campaigns or applied for recovery grants to reestablish operations, while many others opted not to rebuild their damaged properties, citing insufficient money or unacceptable financial risks.
