My neighbors & I protected our home @MidtownGlobal bldg for 4+ hrs tonight as nearly every building around us fell. We stopped 5 attempts to breach & deterred more I’m sure. I ended up aiming a community fire hose brought in lieu of the fire dept. We stepped up when govt didn’t 
I saw wanton destruction of property. Heard dozens of gunshots close to me. All by people who didn’t even know what neighborhood they were in. For most, it was sport. Kids from the suburbs and exurbs (multiple WI plates), some opportunistic looters, and middle aged people too
Frankly, by the time the national guard rolled in we had protection under control ourselves and most people had left. I’m glad the Fire Dept is working on the fires now, many of which have been burning for hours. Most buildings around me will have to be torn down
And the people wreaking havoc in Midtown weren’t here for a cause. There was nothing about justice. Just destruction.
Woke up to scene of our strong community cleaning up. We will rebuild and continue to come together for #JusticeForGeorge.
