Anyone have a handle of what’s going on? Shit seems a bit like a free for all. Twitter responses are def wild too.

Interesting developments in Minneapolis.

New RC tactic: kill em with kumbaya. Second-ish day of bad weather. Still out there. Stores continue to board up. There was significantly less police presence during the day.
