A Minneapolis AutoZone near the area where protesters reportedly looted nearby businesses has been set on fire Wednesday evening as demonstrators take to the streets over the death of George Floyd, who died Monday after a police officer put his knee on his neck while detaining him, according to reports.

Several journalists shared photos and video of the burning Autozone, which is also near Minneapolis Police’s 3rd Precinct, where protesters and police officers engaged in a tense standoff in the afternoon. Des Moines Register photographer Zach Boyden-Holmes noted that the blaze was started by protesters.

“Why pick on Auto Zone?”

Because not one of them knows how to twist a wrench.

“Why pick on Auto Zone?”

Because it’s there. Seriously, it’s a mall-type area with misc stores - they loot and burn one, the loot and burn ‘em all.

The bad citizens are not given a badge, a gun and a free pass to use unlawful violence even if recorded and openly admitting to it by the state.

I believe state troopers, along with cops from St.Paul are pitching in to help. If it keeps up, I expect the guard will have to move in.

Well, that's what I always think of doing when I'm mad. Just head for the nearest AutoZone and make them whiteys pay.

I’ll never understand why people trash stores during a crisis. What did law-abiding citizens do to deserve that?

And people wonder why many of us no longer care.

And the rest of the 300 million of us aren’t part of the identity politics or media darlings or useful idiots so we no longer care.

They succeed and aren’t a part of the welfare/thug culture.

They suffer because they worked for their success.

Our Government, our media, promotes this.

Now how will they get to work tomorrow without being able to repair their cars?

Also, saw a comment on twitter. “So far the bookstores have remained untouched”.

Walz (Governor, D) won’t be tasking the Nat’l Guard. The city will ask for more help but I’m guessing they will let this simmer and burn through the whole month of June.

LOL, and what are they supposed to do? Arrest black rioters? Then they’ll be in hack too.

Did I miss the FBI hate crime investigation into the dude who used the 70 year old white guy’s head into a boxing speed bag? I mean, that was a whole week ago.

Those water pumps and spray bottles of Armorall™ are just symbols of ‘black oppression’.

Plain as day...
