During the one-year anniversary of the death of George Floyd, there was a drive-by shooting at the square where he died.
According to PJ Media:
On Tuesday, a suspect carried out a drive-by shooting at the scene where George Floyd died exactly one year previously. Many had gathered to commemorate Floyd’s death at the hands of police, and reporters captured footage of the shooting in progress. Police have reportedly taken possession of the vehicle in question but have not apprehended a suspect.
A 911 caller told police that the suspect’s vehicle left the area “at a high rate of speed.” Police reported that an individual with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound was being treated at a local hospital.
“This is an evolving incident,” police spokesperson John Elder said in a statement to USA Today. “No further information is available at this time.”
The suspect opened fire near George Floyd Square, the intersection where Floyd died on May 25, 2020. Philip Crowther, an Associated Press journalist shooting video at the intersection, reported hearing as many as 30 gunshots about a block east of the intersection. He reported that a storefront window appeared to have been broken by a gunshot.
We heard a few dozens sounds of what appear to have been shots fired on this block. Everyone sheltered in place. Lots of running. No apparent need for medics. Will update. pic.twitter.com/tpDY9etN8I

The death of George Floyd sparked massive riots that lasted the entire of 2020. After his death, the intersection where he died was barricaded off and propped up as a memorial. The riots that came after Floyd’s death caused many injuries, a few deaths, and an incredible amount of property damage.
How on earth can any sane society name a square after something as morally rotten as George Floyd. Don’;t the people of the city know that this man was a career criminal, and the sorriest piece of trash ever to breathe a breath. This society that named the square MUST be sick enough to commit to an institution.
An episode of criminal violence at a square named to commemorate a criminal? How appropriate! The moral of the story: be careful whom you honor and celebrate.
As it turns out, I am gay: When I was around 9 years old I was starting to get confused about my sexuality so I would always look up “Are You Gay” quizzes on our family computer because I was scared and confused, and my mom eventually saw the searches in the history and confronted me about it. I lied about it and said I had accidentally clicked an ad. As it turns out, I am gay..
Hilarious…..
Another story for America’s inept, incompetent mainstream media to not cover…..
