The conditions that led to this moment didn’t spring up overnight; it’s been in the making for generations. No group of protesters could devastate south Minneapolis more than years of disinvestment and abandonment already have. Lake Street was hollowed out long before the flames came.
There has been too much building up over many years of neglect. No rage, no voices being heard, just silence. At some point if things just keep building up with no change or anything, there will come a point where it just goes to hell.
