Looters set fire to and destroyed a Wendy’s in Minneapolis overnight Thursday during the riots protesting the police killing of George Floyd during an arrest for “forgery in progress” on Monday.
Photos and video show the process, from the initial window smashing and spray-painting, to the flames and then the resulting total destruction.

Apparently the rioters got a head start on Wendy’s national roast day promotion.
