This is probably only tangentially related to Rittenhouse but I’m still struggling with how much the Minneapolis riots were memory holed by the national media. Portland and Seattle seemed to get all of the attention but Minneapolis was completely out of control for like 5 days. I have a lot of friends/family up there and while things were going down I was literally getting sent pics from family members of IEDs being disarmed by police in their friends’ backyards. In July 2020 I was in town and drove down Lake Street and it looked like Air Force bombers had strafed whole blocks. Complete insanity and I can’t be gaslit into thinking that never happened.

Did Minneapolis have its own version of CHAZ, in which rioters took over public spaces and declared them no-go zones for police?

Agree. My cousin and her family who lived in Minneapolis sold their home and moved to WI. That was after living in that home for 20+ years.

its totally insane

I know 2 families who moved out of Minneapolis as a result of those Violent Riots. Moved to Idaho, which was the most popular state to move to in 2020
