Dear Sirs,
It has been widely reported that “Minneapolis police say ‘Umbrella Man’ was a White supremacist trying to incite George Floyd rioting.” His window-breaking activities can easily be seen on YouTube.On July 28, the Star Tribune reported, “A Minneapolis police arson investigator said the act of vandalism at the AutoZone on East Lake Street helped spark a chain reaction that led to days of looting and rioting. The store was among dozens of buildings across the city that burned to the ground in the days that followed.”
Excuse me for shouting but THIS IS A KNOWN WHITE SUPREMACIST WHO SUCCEEDED IN HELPING TRIGGER DAYS OF ARSON AND RIOTING. WHY HASN’T HE BEEN ARRESTED?
Some people get shot for such things, some people get arrested for such things and others—well, they just walk free.
