ACAB CRG GI JOKE graffiti at Seven Points Mall.

Concrete barriers, erected as temporary barricades, bear graffiti near Seven Points Mall in Minneapolis. The markings include "ACAB," "Fuck Your Property," and "CRG=GI JOKE," alongside a tribute reading "WINSTON SMITH RIP." These messages reflect sentiments expressed during protests and unrest in the city, particularly following the death of Winston Smith Jr. by law enforcement officers on June 3, 2021, outside a parking ramp in the Uptown area. The graffiti serves as a visual record of public dissent and memorialization in the aftermath of these events.
