Antifa rioters have once again terrorized Minneapolis by vandalizing businesses and barricading streets last night over the death of Amir Locke.
Numerous videos were tweeted by independent journalist Rebecca Brannon who was able to capture only a small amount of footage due to the fact that they didn’t want their actions to be broadcast:
Outside the Minneapolis Police 5th Precinct where protesters spray-painted & threw rocks at the building, cracking windows. Phones & cameras weren’t allowed so it was difficult to capture.

Minneapolis black bloc Antifa graffitied numerous businesses and set barricades in the streets for nearly two hours tonight all down Lake Sreet from 35W and in Uptown.

No police ever showed up or were seen except for a helicopter hovering overhead the entire time. pic.twitter.com/Jv12q699g6
I wasn’t sure what to expect but about 100 black bloc and Antifa marched in residential streets and blocked traffic on Lake for two hours, ransacking whatever they could and graffitied numerous businesses along the way.#AmirLocke

Brannon also caught one incident that she described as a resident who attempted to clear the streets by himself.
“At one point the Antifa march was interrupted by a man who started dragging barricades out of the street.”
“The group then confronted him and he produced some sort of weapon, saying he wasn’t going to let them “destroy the city” again. #Minneapolis #Antifa”

According to Fox 9 KMSP-TV, however, “the protest remained predominantly peaceful” as they described the actions of the rioters.
Temperatures were in the single digits, which likely helped keep the event brief and there were roughly 50-100 Antifa rioters present.
