Ax-wielding man wreaks havoc on George Floyd memorial in Minneapolis

A video has emerged purportedly showing an ax-wielding man ripping off signs and wreaking havoc at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis over the weekend.
The incident – which happened around 2 a.m. Sunday at the site where Floyd died last May – has yet to be reported to police, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Surveillance footage first shows a truck pulling up to the site and a man emerging from its driver’s side door, walking directly toward the memorial display.
With the vehicle left running in the middle of the street, the man then topples over displays and rips off signs adorning the square.
He then returns to his truck, grabs an ax from its rear and starts hacking at a shed in the square.

This should please leftists, given their penchant for tearing down statues.

Paul Bunyan returns!

Maybe he’s related to one of Floyd’s numerous criminal victims?

Next time he should bring a flamethrower, or at least a few molotovs given how much Antifa/BLM loves those.

Hope he's prosecuted.
As much as I think it's absurd to memorialize someone of Floyd's character and actions, I don't think memorials should be destroyed, but removed according to the law and proper authorities.

Memorial? It’s just a bunch of crap idiots put on the street where a criminal died because he was doing criminal things.

What if the memorials were not put up legally? Governments take months-years to permit and allow most construction. Was the Floyd memorial properly permitted?

That was my understanding. I didn't think it was put up in accordance with the law.

Ugh.
I'm trying to be consistent and not let my personal feelings towards Floyd or the BLM movement affect the application of my worldview.
