Many sneaker stores on Firefox were robbed, burned down, or damaged during the Black Live Matter Riot. Sneakers and streetwear are rare and expensive. Even though we were experiencing quarantine, many people go on the street to protest. However, some people are taking advantage of this. Although these stores were being robbed, the owners or influencers showed an exceptional understanding of the current situation and kept promote and support the Riot and protest for George Floyd.

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)
