Footage from 1992 shows a black business owner angrily condemning rioters who destroyed his business following the Rodney King riots in LA, an eerie parallel to scenes currently emerging from Minneapolis.

In the decades-old clip being shared across social media, the man walks up and down the street holding a hammer as he yells, “You burnt down my store! I worked so hard for this! It’s not right! It’s not right! It’s not right what ya’ll doing! I’m came from the ghetto too, same as all of you did!”
