Where did I say that?
This says that the "threats" are just "I won't shop with you" when that's clearly not the case.
Most likely something along the lines of "If you don't remove these items, I'll never shop here again!" (No doubt seen as a terroristic threat if uttered by a conservative)

If that display had been a person, and the perpetrator was wearing any other hat, this would be reported as a peaceful protest; an understandable display of frustration. "No justice, no peace", and all that.
It's always nice to see an attempt to own the libs with tropes and slogan reveal racism instead.

That's usually how they do it. Not too difficult to put on a baseball cap that's red and has four specific letters on it before committing acts of vandalism. Reminds me of the Jussie Smollett case.
Everything reminds you guys off Jussie Smollett because that is the go to excuse now for when your fellow travelers act out - it's a hoax, it's a false flag, it's Antifa dressed as red hat, etc. I guess it's a lot easier than having to try and defend them and their behavior.

I found it. I found the actual evidence. Just look at these violent, evil bigots trashing this Target store.


Oh wait. My bad.
Zero libs were owned by this post.

I wish he were the only one and he maybe a troll but he's a troll with a right-wing agenda.
So? There are trolls that troll with a left wing agenda. Get over it.

Single internet dude goes into a Target in protest and stomps on a sign for likes and it's a federal case with you guys? It doesn't even look like he did much to it.

If he did, I'm not saying he shouldn't be cited for it. Unlike your side I still believe that damaging other people's property deserves charges.

But this is so minor it's laughable.

That is a calumnious lie.

I couldn't help but notice he damaged the sign in a way that made it very easy to restore.

Do you have any videos or other recordings that indicate otherwise?

Racism? I challenge you to point out anything in that post that was regarding race.

Who is "you guys"?
And my "fellow travelers"??? I'm not even traveling anywhere. I'm comfortably at home!

I consider this a thread being sold by Target.
People define others as being "homophobic" and proceed to behead them.

No it's not. We have prosecutors on your side who refuses to hd people accountable for their actions. That is a fact.
Yes, it is. People on my side do believe in consequences. I know what my side is far better than you, so knock off the ad hom.

Americans using violence to address their personal hang ups seems to be becoming an American institution.
So, you would have thought. But, only one side faces penalties, so much less so there..

To be fair it, it’s nearly always the Right who resorts to violence against people than the left.

I disagree. Look at all the people that have been turned loose by your side who have gone on to commit crimes over and over again and sometimes really violent ones.

I'm not blind to the fact that both sides do it, particularly when it comes to political matters.

But when it comes to criminality you side is far more likely to not want to prosecute people and if they do they are far more likely to give criminals a slap on the wrist.
