And on the speaker, they say, if you're arriving here right now, you are not permitted to go anywhere outside of the airport. National Guardsmen will escort you to your Uber or to your car. They're going to take a picture of your ID. They're going to figure out where you're going. You are not permitted to go outside tonight. And so Lacey picks me up.

There's two people in the back, two of her home girls wearing like shysty masks. I'm like, what are we doing? Where are we going? And she goes, we're going to go film the riot. We're going to Lake Street. And so we drive down there. Kmart is burning. Target is burning. Everything is on fire. She has the Sony A7. She gives me a microphone and she's like, go talk to that guy.

And that was a guy with a Molotov cocktail in his hand who had just burned Kmart down. And so I go, what should I ask him? She goes, what's on your mind? So I walk up to him and I'm like, what's on your mind? He said something like, everything that was happening here was supposed to happen. This is how we feel. Is it right? No. Is this going to benefit the community? No. But this is how we feel.

Yeah. And I noticed that aside from a group called Unicorn Riot, there was no one else actually interviewing the protesters. The local news was on the bridge 15, not 15, but five blocks away. you know, filming just the scene itself, just the fire. But I saw some crazy things off camera too. I saw... So there was kind of two groups there. There was like the anarchists, more mobilized protesters.

And then there was just mostly... African-American community members who were just pissed, who had nothing to do with the organized resistance. And they were all kind of joining forces to riot. And there was this anarchist kid who ran up to White Castle with like a Molotov cocktail. And he was about to throw it at White Castle. And this black dude ran up to him and grabbed his arm.

And he's like, no. We fuck with White Castle. And I was like, what? And so you see, if you go on Lake Street, every business is burned. White Castle remains. I also saw all these dudes rip this ATM out of a bank and hit it with sledgehammers. They were a group of friends hitting it with sledgehammers, right? They're hitting it with sledgehammers. Boom.

All of a sudden, money starts spraying out of the ATM. Like I've never seen some shit like this, like pouring out of it. And then this group of friends who were just united in getting it open start fighting each other for the money as it's flying out of it. And so it was like Joker from the Batman's Army type vibes. But I got shot in the ass by the National Guard. It was no good. Like a what?
