I invite you to read my reflection on my unusual 9/11 experience. At the moment of the attacks, I was staring at anti-American graffiti in Chile's public university, "Yankee, get out!" it said. Chileans were rightfully angry. saranadel.medium.com/9-11-pi….

What national media need to understand is that what happened in Minneapolis last night seems to be different from what happened in previous nights, and different from normal riots in other places. Stop trying to analyze it as rhetoric by the governor. Something new is happening.
