The heartbreaking reality of the chaos
From the Times Union:
Woman, 22, killed at protest as civil unrest roils Davenport
A woman was killed early Monday in an apparently random shooting as she was leaving a protest against police brutality in Davenport, as gun violence and looting rocked the city for hours, police and her relatives said.
Italia Marie Kelly, 22, was one of two people fatally shot overnight as shootings and property destruction unfolded in many parts of Davenport, a city of 100,000 people across the Mississippi River from Illinois.
Kelly, who is biracial and went by the last name Impinto, and a friend were getting in a vehicle to leave around midnight because the protest outside a Walmart had turned unruly, Hale said.
That’s when she was struck in the back by a bullet that went through her shoulder and chest, likely killing her instantly, Hale said.
That is a very sterile description of the situation.
This is the video posted online by the victim’s sister:
Perhaps those eulogising the thugs “protesting” the death of #GeorgeFloyd can explain to this lady why her sister being murdered by these same these same thugs is fair game. pic.twitter.com/TOQjGmdqSs

Her pain is real.
This is the truth covered up by the media that is playing at armchair revolutionaries.
Innocent people are being hurt and killed and other innocent people are suffering because of it.
When this is all over, we cannot forget, or let them gloss over, what it is that they did to us. They destroyed the lives of so many so they could feel a rush.
