There are 50-60 people looting the Midway Target right now as I type this. KSPT has a chopper in the air. The looters are say to "have overwhelmed the store".

Lock-n-load, Pede.

If you can see the fires on Lake St. from your home, your twenty is right in between these locations.

EDIT:

Below is a list of disruptions 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has confirmed:

  • Mall of America closed at 2 p.m. Thursday for an undetermined amount of time.
  • USPS has temporarily suspended delivery service through three Minneapolis locations.
  • Metro Transit suspended bus and light rail service beginning at 4 p.m. Thursday.
  • Children's Minnesota's Minneapolis campus has increased security but roads in the area may be closed at times.
  • Rosedale Center closed Thursday afternoon per the request of local authorities.

Rosedale, Midway and MOA are three different sides of town. As you can see it's spreading fast. Expect I-94 and I-35 to be blocked soon in time for rush hour (you remember that tactic). They have already hit the Light Rail apparently.

This feels like it will be the Rodney King Riots all over again.
