Minneapolis: Graffiti on Barricades Near Site of Winston Smith’s Death

CRG GI Joke Winston Smith Protest Graffiti
CRG GI Joke Winston Smith Protest Graffiti.

Concrete barricades, erected around the parking garage where Winston Smith died on June 3, 2021, bear graffiti referencing the incident. One message reads "CRG = G.I. Joke," referring to the private security firm Conflict Resolution Group (CRG), while another states "WINSTON SMITH WAS ASSASSINATED BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS SAY HIS NAME." The barricades and graffiti serve as a visual marker of the ongoing public discourse and protest surrounding Smith's death and the role of private security in law enforcement actions.
