Here is the Facebook post:
It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the death of one of our own today, Sarah Grossman. Her ability to make anyone feel comfortable, coworkers and patrons alike, kept our stores warm. At Stauf’s, Sarah was known for her devotion to keeping the workplace green by implementing environmentally-friendly practices on and off the clock. Outside of the store, she fought even harder for issues she cared about, including the Rainforest Alliance, and the Black Lives Matter movement. As a peaceful protestor this weekend, she stood up to end police brutality and was tear gassed as a result. Her death came in the aftermath, but her legacy stands even stronger. Stauf’s is working diligently on plans to honor her and the other peaceful organizers risking their lives in pursuit of justice.
May Sarah’s memory ring through the streets of Columbus and give her fellow fighters reason to push on.

Her death came in the aftermath, but her legacy stands even stronger.” Few details have been publicly released so far, but an autopsy is being performed.
CSPD is hoping for a peaceful night, but we are being told that protesters are now donning gas masks.

I feel and have felt like some people are taking advantage of the situation so they can steal and disrespect the government. I appreciate people protesting peacefully in various spots because George Floyd did not need to die.

It’s one thing to destroy and vandalize a government building. But there is no point in destroying small businesses and ruining our community. Police brutality happens every day. Fire will never put the fire out and not all cops are bad. I do think we need more rules and regulations on who we let hold a gun or have the right to “bring America justice.” But rioting by stealing or breaking places down that have nothing to do with what we are standing for will only bring fear and not peace.
The protesters are exactly what they say their protesting against but they’re too ignorant to realize it. Self Righteousness is a disease obvious to everyone except the ones infected by it.
