'Eye-opening experience': Business owner and former firefighter raises $1M to rebuild Minneapolis bar

A fundraising effort to help a black business owner and former firefighter in Minneapolis has surpassed $1 million, including with help from staffers for President Trump's reelection campaign. 

On Thursday, rioters in the city destroyed Korboi Balla's sports bar, which he had planned to have opened earlier this year, but was prevented from doing so due to the coronavirus pandemic, accordingto local media reports. 

"I don't know what we’re going to do," Balla told CBS News after his business was looted and destroyed last week. "It hurts, man. It's not fair. It's not right. We've been working so hard for this place. It's not just for me. It's for my family."
