The City of Bloomington, Indiana announced on Monday that the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market would be suspended for two weeks over concerns for public safety. In a press release, the city cited a possible connection between a vendor at the farmers market and"white nationalist causes and groups."
The professor, Cara Caddoo, was arrested on misdemeanor charges for allegedly causing a disturbance in front of the vendors, as both protestors and counter-protestors gathered. As a result of the growing conflict, and at the consultation of local police and national experts, the city ultimately decided to suspend the market for two weeks.
