Too much damage to clean up

I am 20 years old and grew up in Kenosha Wi for 18 years and moved to the Milwaukee Area within the last 2 years. I visited home from college for the weekend. I heard about the riots that took place in Kenosha and decided to visit them while I was in town. It was very sad and emotional to see all of the destruction that took place there. This one was taken at a car lot that was burned down. There is even a Youtube video of it that I saw online. The broom in the photo was there at the car lot and I found it very ironic on how it was placed. It almost felt like this was too much of a mess to clean up.
