The civil unrest in the wake of George Floyd’s death has expanded out of the city of Minneapolis and to other cities like New York and Atlanta.
Friday night in Atlanta resembled some of what the world has been seeing in Minneapolis, with riots and looters ravaging parts of the city. An unfortunate victim of the incidents? The College Football Hall of Fame.
The downtown establishment was broken into by looters on Friday night, with priceless memorabilia being taken and massive amounts of damage caused to the $68 million facility
