ESPN writer Chris Palmer encouraged arsonists and terrorists to burn down a 189-unit low-income housing development in Minneapolis.
“Burn that shit down. Burn it all down” – Chris Palmer tweeted over a photo of the low-income housing completely engulfed in flames.
The tweet has been deleted, however the internet is forever.

Oddly, the left-wing writer for ESPN had a change of heart as soon as the rioters reached the gates of his building.
Chris Palmer wasn’t too happy to see the rioters take over Rodeo Drive.
I’m as down for the cause as anybody. Any of you clowns thinking you’re gonna loot The Grove or Rodeo Drive. It will not work out well for you.

Not Rodeo Drive! “Keep that shit in downtown LA” – says the limousine liberal.
Trying to loot Rodeo Drive is probably the worst idea in the history of bad ideas. I’m as angry as everyone else. But keep that shit in DTLA.

It seems Chris Palmer had a change of heart. ‘Don’t bring that shit to my neighborhood.’
You bring that shit to our neighborhood and I’m gonna have a real problem with it. There’s a lot of people up here who care and are angry. Attacking our neighborhood kills the movement and disgraces George Floyd.

“[They] destroyed a Starbucks and are now in front of my building. Get these animals the f*ck out of my neighborhood,” Chris Palmer said as the rioters showed up to his building.
