BLM activist says if Derek Chauvin isn’t convicted of George Floyd’s death ‘all hell is gonna break loose’

MODEL and Black Lives Matter activist Maya Echols has warned “all hell is gonna break loose” if Derek Chauvin isn’t convicted for the death of George Floyd.

In a video published on TikTok, Echols cautioned that Minneapolis would suffer more riots and vandalism, similar to the chaos that unfolded in the city last May in response to Floyd’s fatal Memorial Day arrest.

“If George Floyd’s murderer is not sentenced, just know that all hell is gonna break loose,” the activist is heard saying in the since-deleted clip.

“Don’t be surprised when building are on fire. Just sayin’,” she added.

Echols, a signed IMG Worldwide Model, is also a social media influencer, boasting half-a-million followers on TikTok.

In the wake of Floyd’s death on May 25, 2020, racial injustice protests erupted across the nation.

Some of the protests escalated into fierce riots, including in Minneapolis, where thousands-strong crowds of activists violently clashed with police.

Businesses were looted, vandalized and in some cases burned to the ground entirely.

More than a dozen people were also killed during the chaos, which lasted several weeks.

Echols’ now-deleted TikTok has since been shared to Twitter.

One sharer of the clip, Kelly Campagna, wrote: “‘Justice’ apparently now means people riot in the street if they don’t get the conviction they want.”
