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

[Hans Blaster]

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.

It feels like you are deliberately conflating post-shooting riots with BLM marches.

The riots usually arise from the "marches", and then those who identify with them march right into retail outlets to help themselves to loot before burning it all down.

And yet you used an example (Kenosha) with a riot started by a shooting, not protests gone bad.

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

You asked for a recording of threats or other actions and were provided them.

Oh my! Stomping on a store display, and showing a firearm in a video.

I sometimes wonder if you guys seriously think you can get away with gaslighting like this. The guy wasn't merely "showing a firearm". He was making a threat while simulating chambering a round. Don't act like we're stupid.

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

I don't know why some here feel so comfortable posting falsehoods about other members. Nowhere in this thread, or any other for that matter, have I asserted, suggested, implied or alluded to accepting violence.

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

Weird how you felt the need to point out the correspondent was black, but thank you for again making my point for me. The protests occurred earlier in the day and were peaceful. The criminals and miscreants came out after sunset and starting lighting fires.

CNN ridiculed for ‘Fiery But Mostly Peaceful’ caption with video of burning building in Kenosha

CNN was ridiculed for a video caption Wednesday night that read “Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests After Police Shooting” during a report from national corresponde…

>> Jimenez reported that the daylight protests “were largely peaceful,” but the situation quickly changed at night.

“What you are seeing now, these images, came and come in stark contrast to what we saw over the course of the daytime hours in Kenosha and into the early evening, which were largely peaceful demonstrations in the face of law enforcement,” Jimenez said.

“It wasn’t until nightfall that things began to get a little bit more contentious. <<

To summarize: 93% of BLM protests were peaceful, the actual BLM protests in Kenosha were peaceful, you felt the weird need to point out the Jimenez was black.

Multiple bomb threats force evacuations.

So much for the "no threats" narrative.

Their motivation for their violence is irrelevant. The fact remains that those committing the violence were leftist organizations.

Which organization rioted and arsoned in Kenosha. Go ahead and document it.

Those who organized to display discontent (and express anger in the form of violence, arson and looting)

So then no organized group that you can name. That's what I thought.

Here's something from Wikipedia that may help you understand:
"While there are specific organizations that label themselves simply as "Black Lives Matter," such as the Black Lives Matter Global Network, the overall movement is a decentralized network of people and organizations with no formal hierarchy. The slogan "Black Lives Matter" itself remains untrademarked by any group."

A very convenient way of organizing without having an organization or anyone specific to blame. Much like a "flash mob" of a hundred people suddenly and violently looting a retail location. What "organization" is responsible for that? None can be named, so no specific entity can be blamed. It's just a hundred individuals who decided to do the same crime at the same time to overwhelm their victim.

I mean watching that crowd all summer long, this was obvious. Perhaps I give credit that this is known and understood? Maybe, just maybe, some are serious to not know this? I still doubt that.

Was there an organized march by "a BLM" organization in Kenosha leading up to the rioting and arson?

Yup, could have been their own doing it.

It's the same tactic that antifa uses.

The radical right needs to adopt this. The proud boys and others need to stop naming themselves, totally disband and do what the radical left is good at. That way when they do something g violent no one can point a finger at anyone. Radical right supremacists doing this? Really? What group? If they can't make one then I guess it wasn't white supremacists after all. They don't have a name. I mean you can only blame a certain group or their supporters if there is a name involved. If they aren't wearing hoodies with their group name well, duh, its not them.

It sounds like ABC believes it.

At 17, he shot three people in the street — but was it self defence?

I could post a bunch more new articles with BLM protesting there. How do you know they weren't involved in the matches there?

Look at those goalposts fly.

I could have been, but it also could have been shape shifting reptilians, disgruntled Postal workers or Time Travel Obama. Based upon what we've seen over the past 10-15 years with mail/phone threats, the safest conclusion is that it's legitimate.

One side of ^^^ this sounds like “our ‘good guys’ (like the PB) should be smart like ‘their bad guys’”.
Unironically, it seems.

Well if course you have to take the threat legitimately. It's dumb not to. But there is no indication that it was a conservative threatening. It could just as easily been a lgbtq activist doing it. It's just as probable as anything else. And as we have seen there's a good chance it was.
