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

Multiple bomb threats force evacuations.

Layton Target evacuated after bomb threats reported at multiple Utah stores

A Target in Layton was evacuated after officials said they were informed of a bomb threat to multiple Utah locations.

So much for the "no threats" narrative.

Target is getting bomb threats for pulling LGBT merchandise. "Target turned its back on the LGBT community" said in the threats to multiple Ohio stores.

Unlike "those people" (wink wink) who loot so they can get free stuff. Amirite?

I have no idea where they buy their dog-whistles.

I don't condone threatening anyone for any reason. But neither do I think it's a good idea to have satanic themed LGBTQ wherewithal on display in the front of a department store.

They weren't satanic themed. Unless rainbows are satanic now. Or are we talking about clothes and items with rainbow colored upside-down crucifixes? Is that what it was? Otherwise, what even are "satanic themes"?

Satanic themed LGBT clothing looks like this:

I hope they can find and arrest that terrorist.

I also find it interesting that the sender CC'D it to Tim.Pool..

Insipid trolling on the part of the creator and any purchasers.

And yet we keep hearing that it's the "intolerant" Right, and White Supremacists who are the biggest threat to this country, and responsible for the violence. I wasn't aware that those were the ones who threaten Target stores for NOT selling clothing with satanic images.
So much for "love is love", and all that. Now it's, "Promote our agenda, or we'll bomb you!"

Perhaps. Or perhaps it's becoming a popular trend. After all orthodox conservative Christianity is the enemy of LGBT, whereas the hedonistic philosophy of Satanism supports LGBT. Whereas Christianity is supposed to be about denial of self and serving the will of Christ. Satanism is about self will and gratification. It's really about serving oneself rather than actually serving a higher power. I got that info from watching an interview of Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan.

Can you get them at Target?

Right. That's what PRIDE is all about.

I guess not. I just looked and couldn't find any.
Maybe they were removed from inventory for being "offensive" to certain people during the month of June.

 

[rjs330]

It being unfactual means it's unfactual. The vast majority of the mayhem was caused by apolitical individuals with some being caused by white nationalists (Boogaloos, etc.).

Why even bother posting silly, substance free retorts like this?

Except you're not because neither I nor my friends are engaging in gaslighting. Why do so many conservatives think "No you are!" is a clever rejoinder?

Yeah, I know the argument. Jussie Smollett therefore every attack/threat/etc. is faked. It not logical nor is it supported by the evidence. Rememeber when you guys screamed that J6 was Antifa?

So now you admit you don't really know who made th threats. Yes I remember when there were accusations that Antifa was involved with Jan 6. I don't believe the claim was that it was ANTIFA that was doing all the rioting. . What I recall was there were some that thought they were there stirring the crowd.

So to be clear you do not know who made the threat at Target. And it appears that leftists have threatened Target for moving the merchandise.

And it was democratic voters that rioted all during 2020. You know. Leftists.

Maybe at PetSmart then with all the LGBT pet supplies.

Yep! They got 2 versions. Not sure which one is to get as a "right wing" dog whistle since political affiliations aren't in the description.

It's probably the one without the rainbow.

Why is it impossible for some folks on the right to discuss issues without using straw man arguments constantly. Same thing with the weird need to inject asinine buzz words into every sentence.

We have no idea who this particular person was. The fact that they CC'd Tim Pool is interesting however.

 

[USincognito]

Perhaps.

You could just have ended your post with that. The rest was conservative fan fiction.

No. I'm saying in this instance they don't. I wish everyone who mails or calls in threats would be charged for their crime.

Yes I remember when there were accusations that Antifa was involved with Jan 6. I don't believe the claim was that it was ANTIFA that was doing all the rioting. . What I recall was there were some that thought they were there stirring the crowd.

Not "involved". Incited. Same with Svengali/Fed Ray Epps single handedly convincing 1000 people who otherwise were only going to march, chant and hold hands to engage in three hours of Medieval combat with Capitol police.

So to be clear you do not know who made the threat at Target. And it appears that leftists have threatened Target for moving the merchandise.

What? None of us know who made this particular hoax threat. Therefore you cannot conclude that it was "leftists" (whatever you mean by that) made this particular threat.

And it was democratic voters that rioted all during 2020. You know. Leftists.

Wrong for several reasons. First, those who looted and engaged in random arson were likely apolitical criminals taking advantage of civil unrest to engage in mayhem. I don't have numbers handy, but the people that would engage in that behavior don't strike me as being civic minded. Second, leftist =/= liberal or progressive. Leftists are communists, Marxist socialist and anarchists. Antifa and other black bloc folks would fall into that category and they hate Dems as much as they hate Reps.

A couple different possibilities there...

1) It's not actually an LGBT advocate who sent the email, it was an alt-right person and they were dumb enough to send it to a show they thought was an "ally" of their position.

2) It was an LGBT advocate, but they thought that if they cc'd Tim Pool (who's not even a big player), it'd somehow cast doubt on the situation and make some people think it was scenario #1. For instance, if someone on the far-right wanted to make a threat, they could simply cc "members @ TYT.com" if they wanted to cast doubt on the situation. (I doubt that members@timcast.com is an email address that he even reads)


It does seem fishy that if someone was going to make a bomb threat, they would send it to a random small-time podcast and not Target themselves. "Tim Pool is a big deal in the right wing sphere, so let's implicate him" (and then proceeded to cc the first email address that's listed on his website's "contact us" page) is something that a person would do if they didn't know a whole lot about who's actually popular in those circles.
