Flyer for neighborhood rally in support of Fletcher's Ice Cream after it was targeted twice in the last week. Thursday, October 23rd, 6pm, in front of Fletcher's on East Hennepin Avenue.

Just witnessed someone trying to fireb*mb Fletcher’s Ice Cream in NE. Saw a dude acting weird next to a parked car in front of the place. I walked by, heard a smash through my earbuds, smelled gasoline/kerosine. Turned around, snapped some photos instinctively. Thankfully they suck at molot*vs.
