Rioters Storm CNN Building, Throw 'Large Firework Artillery Shell' Inside — Cops Pelted
American flags are being burned. Freeways are being blocked. Buildings are being destroyed in multiple big cities and people are being killed. Does this story sound familiar to you?
If so, it’s because it seems to replay once a year.
From Daily Wire:
Rioters broke into CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, on Friday night, shattering windows, throwing objects at law enforcement officials, and lighting police cars on fire.
After riots escalated over the course of a few hours, rioters appeared to begin pushing police into the building, and threw at least one large firework artillery shell inside the building, which exploded near law enforcement officers.

LOOK:
When civility leads to death, revolting is the only logical reaction.
The cries for peace will rain down, and when they do, they will land on deaf ears, because your violence has brought this resistance.
We have the right to fight back!
Rest in Power George Floyd
