Good News: Minnesota residents donate tons of food to school amid violent protests

Violent protesters laid siege on the city, vandalising and looting properties, clashing with police. However, when a school asked for donations of food after supermarkets were looted and destroyed, people responded overwhelmingly by giving away free food to anyone who wanted it.
