‘Black Lives Matter was never here’

NYPost;

Reed told both Harrelson and The Post that his house was facing foreclosure and he is about to lose his business because the area around where Floyd died became a lawless, crime-ridden, no-go zone for three years after his death — and customers stayed away. Nor did he see a dime, he said, of the $125 million approved to help citizens like him in Minneapolis.

“It’s unbelievable what happened here,” Reed said, sometimes through tears. “All those activists who claimed to be activists were only trying to gain fame off George Floyd’s name. People were coming into town and making money by selling shirts and hats and having these fake protests while those of us from here suffered like collateral damage. It made me so sick.”
