I read “truly a feat” to refer to getting back on the air so quickly after losing everything, not that the arson was a “feat,” although it was certainly destructive. That being said, I really want to know why that particular building was targeted. I keep coming back to both Chauvin and Floyd working there. Not to go all “conspiracy theory,” but did evidence “need” to be destroyed. Or was it “just” part of the general looting and destruction going on. The article indicates that radio station employees heard a bomb-like sound on the first floor and saw smoke coming from the restaurant.
BBMThe building housing El Nuevo Rodeo restaurant and club (along with the only Spanish-speaking radio station in the entire metro area) burnt down around 2:30 Thursday morning during the riots.
Why would the community attack the club (and radio station, a "lifeline of the community") so viciously? That is more than arson. I note her words: "truly a feat".
