Authorities found the charred body of a man in the wreckage of a south Minneapolis pawnshop, nearly two months after the building was torched in the rioting that followed George Floyd’s death.

Investigators from the Minneapolis Police Department, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the state fire marshal’s division were acting on a tip when they discovered the body Monday morning in the rubble of Max It Pawn, at 2726 E. Lake St., according to Police Department spokesman John Elder.

“The body appears to have suffered thermal injury and we do have somebody charged with setting fire to that place,” said Elder, adding that city homicide detectives had taken over the investigation. He said that the victim’s identity would be released by medical examiners after an autopsy is completed, along with the precise cause and manner of death.

Body found in wreckage of pawnshop burned during George Floyd unrest

Somebody was already arrested and Federally charged for the arson itself:

Federal prosecutors have charged a Rochester, Minnesota, man with arson for a fire at a Minneapolis pawn shop during the unrest following the death of George Floyd.

Montez Terrill Lee, 25, made his first appearance in U.S. District Court Tuesday and was ordered temporarily detained. A formal detention hearing is scheduled Thursday.

We know he won’t be making a low bail since the Federal system doe snot go that way. And with a body present now, his chances of being released till trial have probably sunk to under zero.

Let’s see if this goes all the way and serves as a warning to others. I doubt they will pay attention anyway.

  1. He will be turned into a political prisoner, arrested by Nazis, for fighting against white supremacism.

    He’ll be a hero and a martyr.

    1. Indeed. It would likely be better for The Cause, in fact, were he to die in police custody.

    1. For those that are unhappy with “being behind the paywall.” and have a little bit of tech savy. Open the page. bring up the web developers tools. Go to the network tab. Reload the page. Find the place where they load the actual page (not the images and such), then click on that link and the link that says “response.”

      The debugger will show you the response with no javascript hiding most of the article.

  2. Ref Trumphitler’s occupation of da cities, well *THAT* certainly would explain the mysterious disappearances of the many mayor’s, city councillors, police chiefs, as well as the tanks in every intersection

    (what? what was that? no tanks? no disappearances? Huh?)

    Never mind!
