A night of horror and chaos: how looters destroy New York. Photoreport

In New York, protests have not stopped for almost a week. And while some residents of the city oppose racism and police brutality through peaceful demonstrations, some use an unstable situation to organize pogroms and robberies.

On Monday night, a wave of chaos and looting swept Fordham in the Bronx. Most businesses were stolen there, cars parked in the streets were burned, and trash bins and some buildings were also set on fire.

All this unfolded right under the windows of the house where Natalya Bubnova lives.

“They opened shops right under my windows and took out everything: pillows, carpets, furniture, jewelry - everything that was possible. Cash desks in shops, street ATMs were opened. The windows are broken, ”she said.

According to her, the protesters threw themselves at the police, who in response beat them with sticks, police helicopters circled over the area all night.

A woman shared photos of the destruction on her street.

Bubnova noted that the next day the volunteers cleaned and cleaned everything, repaired the windows, and there were practically no traces of chaos.

Recall that the cause of protests throughout the country was the death of George Floyd, an African American from Minneapolis, who died after a city police officer kneeled his neck for 8 minutes. Officer Derek Chauvin was fired and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter; three other officers present during the incident also lost their jobs.
