I live in Orange Blossom and I am in the Madison area for the summer. The violent protests Tuesday night were in response to an activists arrest Tuesday afternoon. The activist was following customers in a restaurant patio with s baseball bat over his shoulder and a bullhorn in his hand. He was swearing and calling customers racist. Other shop owners say he had been doing this for about a year. He was on probation for I believe armed robbery. State Street had been a good place to take a nice walk. The shops around 140 mostly have plywood on the windows. Covid 19, the riots, destruction and looting, now a concern for physical safety is going to harm all of Madison for a long time. Oh activist have now told news crews they could not video them.
