Target removes some LGBTQ+ items after threats to workers ahead of Pride month

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

Disproven over the past 3 years.

I disagree.

You can disagree all you like, but telling lies about me is wrong.

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.

What you consider to be my side and what I do are quite evidently not the same. In such a contest, my opinion of what my side is trumps yours.

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.

No, the punishment should fit the crime. Holding poor people on bail they can't afford while awaiting trial is punishing them before guilt has even been determined. Over the weekend is bad enough, but holding them for days, weeks, months and, every so often, for years can ruin their lives. They can lose their jobs, their apartments with all their possession including important papers, their spouses and obviously their children - all with no convictions.

My side is for justice and moderation. I don't know what your side is, just what you are.

I don't think that's necessarily true. If you are only talking about actual killing, you are most likely right. If you are talking about assaults and injuries I don't think that's necessarily so. And when it comes to property damage the left far surpasses the right.

Violence is measured by more than death.

You talk about fair, and then state an untruth. Antifa, blm etc.

Doesn't even include multiple mass shootings by transsexuals, which hardly gravitate toward right-wing values.

Yes I am and you are correct.

Antifa is violent, but not against people in general. Specifically against police and groups they perceive as fascist like the Proud Boys.

It's a common tactic for the right to conflate civil unrest in the wake of police involved shootings of black men with BLM protests, but the latter have nearly all been peaceful.

 

[USincognito]

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

Golly. I could have sworn there were examples posted to this very thread.

Interesting.

Here's an article about one and video of a guy stomping on a display

And here's a guy threatening with a gun on TikTok

Since Target and gay people are involved, I knew Ethan Schmidt wouldn't be able to resist being a butthat and film himself being a butthat.

Target shopper tears down Pride sign as fury over LGBTQ merch spills into aisles​

The online fury spilling over into the aisles includes one MAGA hat-wearing provocateur who was filmed ripping down a “#TakePride” sign from a clothing rack of LGBTQ apparel.

Ethan Schmidt — a 24-year-old far-right internet personality who previously made headlines for his off-color remarks — is seen tossing the rainbow-colored sign to the floor before stomping on it and kicking it in the 19-second clip.

Well lookie here, there was.

They were violent to those they were politically opposed to. You are fine with that. Don't talk to me about fair, cuz you cannot it appears.

 

[USincognito]

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

I was wondering what race had to do with anything.

Yeah, what racism got to do with this. Lgbt is a race now?

I realize some conservatives have memories like goldfish, but I very clearly bolded the part that was a racist dog whistle. All one has to do is follow the thread back instead of asking questions that are already answered.

 

[USincognito]

"They" who. I referred to two different groups. Please clarify what you mean.

You are fine with that.

Do not lie about me. Why are so many conservatives on here so comfortable just lying about people?

Don't talk to me about fair, cuz you cannot it appears.

Conservatives post the weirdest fan fiction.

Except when they weren't. Billions in damage. At least 25 killed and thousands injured.

No it's your side that is passing laws and hiring more lenient prosecutors. It's your side deciding not to prosecute shoplifters.

Oh my! Stomping on a store display, and showing a firearm in a video.
What is the casualty count? One piece of cardboard.
And that's your best attempt at showing me "right wing violence"?

Seriously, it looks like your argument is that we're just supposed to accept LEFTist violence because.

That article goes quite well with the black CNN reporter incident.

Yep, when it's their side, they are fine with it. Nothing to see here!

Then you do agree that people conflate protests with post-shooting riots as you do know what happened in the city of Kenosha that day.

I'm familiar with how news reporters and others who are left-leaning often excuse violence as being peaceful protest when the violence is being done those whose side they're on. The black reporter working for a liberal news organization like CNN in that photo being a prime example.
