Volunteers from all over the United States came together on Sunday to erase graffiti and get rid of the damage caused by Antifa rioters who have been wreaking havoc across the nation.
Riots have been escalating all over the country in the days since the death of George Floyd, who died in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota last Monday. While the protests started out somewhat peaceful, they have since gotten completely out of control, with Antifa members shamelessly using Floyd’s tragedy to cause chaos.
Videos have been making the rounds on social media showing dedicated volunteers going above and beyond to clean up their cities after riots broke out:

While hundreds of cars lead a peaceful protest in support of #georgefloyd and #blacklivesmatter, a group of community volunteers has been scrubbing away graffiti. This is #Oakland, this is what the majority of protesters are like: people who care deeply about their community pic.twitter.com/FpYMqYlZDL

Unfortunately, despite the efforts of these patriotic Americans, it is likely that the riots will get worse before they get better since the mainstream media and Democrats have been glorifying the violence like it’s their job. We can only hope that these riots are finally brought to an end before something really bad happens that will be difficult to rebound from as a society.
