Last night. They had tons of security and are on total lockdown. The hospital is a large hospital blocks from where George Floyd died. These kids did nothing to anyone. PLEASE pray for these kids, families, and the workers inside. This is unfathomable. Who does this in front of a damn children’s hospital?!?   |

 WOW! I had not heard that. As you know, there is also another large hospital just around the corner which has a huge heart specialty presence in this state. My thoughts are with all the children, workers and families right now. This is so tragic.

And I have friends who work in two departments who confirmed they are locked down (on top of restrictions due to covid-19). I think someone said the national guard was guarding that area last night in addition to police. |

Children's Hospitals are beyond untouchable to me - I hope that whoever thought this was okay reflects in the light of day that they've added to the anguish of the innocents.

What exactly happened? The photos look very similar to any bad auto accident to me, but I am on my phone, so I may be missing things. The cars have RIP GF graffitied all over them, so not just an accident. |

I have no idea how they got there or who they belong to but they were smashed with bricks, which you can see in one photo, and graffitied RIP GF (George Floyd). |

Thanks. Those were important details to miss and certainly change an image. Let's not sugar coat it - the rioters decided that vandalizing cars outside a children's hospital was okay. Despite what all of us know about the repercussions of destruction of property during a riot. Minneapolis if plenty big enough to not add to the trauma of these families. It's just not okay. |

OMG. I park in the green parking ramp when I bring my daughter down to see her specialist in the clinic/hospital. It’s not in the best part of town, but I’ve never felt unsafe there when we’ve been down there for appointments. This is beyond crazy.

We are having our second night of unrest here in Omaha. Last night started peacefully, but as it always goes, turned violent as the sun started going down. Another event planner went out for tonight and wanted to gather in front of Children’s Hospital. I don’t know what they were thinking, but people pushed back on that nonsense. So instead, they are hanging out in the Target parking lot (which is now boarded up). Another night of pepper balls and tear gas and small groups throwing rocks, bottles, breaking windows and trying to light dumpsters on fire.

Are you sure that wasn’t a car accident?

The main entrance to the children’s hospital (which is glass, a lot of glass) has now been boarded up.

Why wouldn't this not have been covered it it's true? It would be major news. It very well could have happened, as it's off chicago, but that doesn't mean the hospital was touched at all, which it doesn't sound like it was.

So you’re saying it’s fake boarded and the staff are lying that those cars were vandalized? Weren’t you the one who didn’t even know the Minneapolis campus existed? EDIT: your quote from the other thread. So yeah. You didn’t know. You later clarified after I clarified when I thought the main campus was in Minneapolis but you clearly originally didn’t even know there was one in Minneapolis so I’m guessing you aren’t the most reliable source when it comes to the Chicago street location. |

Of course I knew it existed?! I just said it wasn't the main one. I went to college in the cites, and did my clinicals in the cities. I think most business's in that area are just being safe. boarding up and taking coverage.
