I'm tellin' ya, this whole thing feels fishy ๐ŸŸ. Like, what was really goin' on with that protest? Was it just a random bunch of people talkin' about immigration policies or was there somethin' more to it? And what's up with all these protests happenin' at the same time in different cities? It's like they're tryin' to create some kind of distraction ๐Ÿ”„. And that restaurant owner, Tracy Wong? She's just a front person for somethin' bigger, I'm sure of it ๐Ÿ˜. All those businesses openin' up as makeshift hospitals and food banks? That's just too convenient. It's like the community was waitin' for this exact moment to happen ๐Ÿค”. And that general strike? It's not just a sign of solidarity, it's a coordinated effort to disrupt the status quo ๐Ÿ”’. I'm gonna keep diggin' into this and see if I can uncover some truth...
 
oh man... this is just heartbreaking! pretti's life cut short by people who were supposed to be protecting us all ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ’” it's just so frustrating that something like this has to happen for people to realize the impact of their actions. i mean, can't we all just get along? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ anyway, i'm so inspired by the community coming together like this... it's a beautiful thing to see people supporting each other in times of crisis. and tracy wong's egg rolls and pho are literally the best thing i've ever heard ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿด maybe we can all learn from the minneapolis community's example: when life gives us lemons, make lemonade... or in this case, make egg rolls ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ’•
 
๐Ÿค•๐Ÿ˜” this is so sad what happened to pretti ๐Ÿ˜ข she was just trying to stand up for her rights ๐ŸŒŽ and now she's gone ๐Ÿ’€ it's crazy how one person can get hurt by the people who are supposed to protect us ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™€๏ธ police officers have a big responsibility, especially when they're dealing with protesters who are just speaking out against injustice ๐Ÿค

but on the other hand, i'm so inspired by how the community came together after this tragedy ๐Ÿ˜Š it's amazing to see people from different backgrounds and ages coming together to support each other ๐Ÿ’• some restaurants even opened up their doors as mini hospitals ๐Ÿ‘ and one restaurant owner was kind enough to share food with those who were affected ๐Ÿด it shows that there are still good people in the world ๐ŸŒˆ

the fact that they organized a general strike is also really powerful ๐Ÿšซ it's like, we're not gonna stop fighting for what we believe in, even if it means taking a stand together as a community ๐Ÿ’ช
 
I'm so saddened to hear about Pretti's passing ๐Ÿ˜”. It's heartbreaking when violence erupts during peaceful protests.

๐Ÿค• my heart goes out to pretti's family & friends ๐Ÿ™ this senseless tragedy just makes me wanna cry ๐Ÿ˜ญ how can something like this happen in our country?! it's so unfair that we have protesters fighting for change, but then they get met with violence from the authorities? it's like, what even is the point of having a protest if you're just gonna hurt people?! ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ at least pretti's death has brought some good out of it - all those community members coming together & supporting each other is beautiful to see ๐Ÿ’–
 
๐Ÿค• this is so sad that Pretti lost her life... but on the flip side, I'm really proud of how the community came together like that ๐Ÿ™, it's not always easy to put yourself out there for others, especially when you've been through a traumatic experience. Tracy Wong's actions are just one example of what can happen when people care about each other ๐Ÿ’•, and the fact that they organized a general strike shows just how strong their sense of solidarity is ๐Ÿค. It's definitely not perfect, but it's a start...
 
I think its a powerful reminder that in times of chaos and pain we have to come together as a community to support each other ๐Ÿค—. We should always be mindful of how our actions can affect others and strive to make amends when harm is done. Its also important to recognize the strength and resilience of communities like the one described, who can turn even the darkest moments into opportunities for growth and unity ๐Ÿ’ช.
 
I'm so sad about what happened to Pretti ๐Ÿค•๐Ÿ˜ข. It's heartbreaking when innocent lives are lost during protests for something that should be protected and respected. I do love how her community came together though ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒŸ - it's amazing to see people putting each other first in times of crisis.

๐Ÿค• still can't believe what happened to Pretti. sounds like her death made people realize they're not alone & that's what matters. all these protests can be intense but at least it brought ppl together ๐Ÿ™
 
I'm literally shaking right now thinking about this tragic event, Pretti was such an amazing person ๐Ÿค•๐Ÿ™. I mean who does something like that to someone? But what I love seeing is how the community came together, it's like they're saying "no matter what happens we got each other's backs" ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘ซ. Tracy Wong, that restaurant owner, she's literally a hero, giving away free food and shelter during such a difficult time ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ . And I love how the community organized a general strike, it shows they're not gonna let this tragedy break them ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช. We need more people like Pretti who are fighting for what's right and communities that support each other no matter what ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Š.
 
I'm so heartbroken about Pretti's tragic loss ๐Ÿ˜”. It's amazing to see how her community has come together like this ๐Ÿค. I mean, who needs hospitals when you have restaurants offering free food? Tracy Wong's egg rolls and pho are literally the best thing I've seen on news lately ๐Ÿด. And it's not just about the food - it's about the people power ๐Ÿ’ช. The fact that they organized a general strike shows that even in the face of tragedy, they refused to give up or back down ๐Ÿ‘Š. It's truly inspiring and makes me proud to be part of a global community that cares ๐ŸŒŽ. We could all learn from Minneapolis' resilience and solidarity โค๏ธ.
 
I'm not buying that everyone is just magically okay after witnessing such a traumatic event ๐Ÿ˜. I mean, sure, it's great that Tracy Wong opened up his restaurant as a makeshift hospital or something, but what about all the people who aren't so lucky? They're still dealing with PTSD, physical injuries, and emotional trauma... no one's gonna sugarcoat those feelings just because everyone else is putting on a brave face ๐Ÿ’”. And can we talk about how quickly the community came together to organize a general strike? That sounds like a lot of pressure on the already marginalized folks who were protesting in the first place ๐Ÿคฏ. Maybe instead of just focusing on the solidarity, we should be talking about the systemic issues that led to this tragic event in the first place... ๐Ÿ‘€
 
๐Ÿ˜• This is just heartbreaking... like when it happens in movies ๐Ÿฟ and you're all invested in the characters but then reality hits home... I mean what would The Mandalorian do if he were there? ๐Ÿ˜‚ But seriously, the fact that a community can come together like this after such a tragedy is truly inspiring. It's like the whole of Brooklyn (from Brooklyn Nine-Nine ๐Ÿš”) showed up to support each other in times of need! And Tracy Wong's egg rolls and pho... talk about a hero's welcome ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿ‘ The power of community and kindness in the face of adversity is something we can all learn from. It's like what Mahershala Ali said in Moonlight, 'The past is never dead, it's not even past'... but in this case, the community came together to make a brighter future for each other ๐Ÿ’–
 
Its so sad what happened in Minneapolis ๐Ÿค•... but you know what really gets me? It's not just about Pretti or the violence that broke out - its about how her death brought people together ๐Ÿ’•. We see stories like this all the time, but rarely do we see the community come out stronger on the other side. Tracy Wong's gesture of sharing food with protesters is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, kindness and compassion can be the greatest strength โค๏ธ. Its also a testament to the power of community solidarity - when people work together towards a common goal, amazing things can happen ๐ŸŒŸ
 
๐Ÿค•๐Ÿ˜ข I'm still trying to process this tragic event... it's just so sad that Pretti had to lose her life like that ๐Ÿ™. But what really gets me is how quickly the community came together to support each other. It's amazing to see people putting aside their differences and just looking out for one another during a tough time ๐Ÿ’•. And Tracy Wong's egg rolls and pho are still giving me food coma vibes... ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿ˜‹ I've seen some general strikes go by in my younger years, but this one seems really strong. I think it's awesome that people are standing up for what they believe in, even if it means taking a risk ๐Ÿ‘Š. Can we talk more about how the community is handling this situation now?
 
I donโ€™t usually comment but I have to say, this protest turned out to be so much more than just a protest ๐Ÿค•. It's actually heartening to see how the whole community came together after such a tragic event ๐Ÿ’–. The way they supported each other and helped those in need is truly inspiring ๐Ÿ™. And that restaurant owner Tracy Wong, man sheโ€™s a lifesaver! ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿ‘ Distributing food and shelter to everyone who needed it, what can you say? It's all about the little acts of kindness that make a big difference ๐Ÿ’ช. The fact that they organized a general strike is also super impressive, shows how resilient and determined they are ๐Ÿ˜Š.
 
I'm still trying to process what happened with Pretti... it's just heartbreaking ๐Ÿค•. But I have to give credit where credit is due - the community came together like nothing I've ever seen before! They showed up for each other, not just with words, but with action. Tracy Wong, that restaurant owner, was a total rockstar ๐Ÿ™Œ. Who distributes egg rolls and pho in the middle of all that chaos? A true hero, if you ask me.

And what's really striking is how they didn't just stop at supporting each other, they took it to the streets too ๐Ÿ’ช. That general strike was not going to be silenced or intimidated. It shows that when people come together with a common cause, amazing things can happen.

I think this incident highlights something so important - the power of community and solidarity in the face of adversity. We often talk about how individuals can make a difference, but what happens when entire communities band together? It's truly inspiring, and I'm still feeling the weight of it all...
 
This is so heart breaking ๐Ÿค•... the loss of Pretti is just devastating. It's amazing how the community came together like this though - I mean, who needs hospitals when you have restaurants with open arms? Tracy Wong's egg rolls are definitely a new thing I'd like to try out ๐Ÿ˜‚. But seriously, it's beautiful to see people supporting each other in these dark times. The general strike is a testament to the power of solidarity and resilience... let's keep spreading love not hate ๐Ÿ’–.
