Minneapolis - Around 1:45 pm as pro-Palestine demonstrators held a 'die-in' at Lyndale/Hennepin, an alleged counter-protester drove into the crowd, possibly firing a a gun or firecracker while driving away.

Our drone footage paired w/ audio from on the ground shows the incident: There were about 1000-2000 people at the rally before this happened. Chants heard included "Free Palestine", and "Up with Palestine, down with occupation", calling an end to the Israeli occupation and "genocide" of the Palestinian people.

6 yrs ago on Aug. 11, 2017, UVA & Charlottesville Police allowed 100s of neo-nazis with torches to trap & brutalize students holding an anti-racist rally.

It was a prelude to the #UniteTheRight rally which killed local activist Heather Heyer the next day: https://t.co/MaT8Z5p7psunicornriot.ninja/2017/white-sup…
The premeditated attack at UVA was planned over Discord chats obtained & leaked by Unicorn Riot.
