| Disgraceful: Someone's Making Bomb Threats Against Target Stores, Utah LGBTQ+ Activists Quickly Offer Bad Take |
| 2023-05-28 |
| [Red State] We’ve written at length about the pickle the folks running major U.S. retail chain Target seem to be in, mainly how they managed to alienate many of their loyal customers when the company decided it would be a good business decision to partner with companies that sell LGBTQ+ merchandise.Target recently removed the products from its shelves. But the issue didn’t end there, as an avalanche of complaints from LGBTQ+ activists hit Target about the items being taken down from displays. As the Memorial Day weekend was set to begin on Friday, the company continued to reel from the backlash on both sides of the controversy. Earlier on Saturday, our colleagues at Twitchy caught the disturbing story about a Cleveland, Ohio, television station receiving a bomb threat made against five, area Target stores, WOIO (Cleveland 19 News) reported about the threat it received on Friday: CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) — Cleveland 19 News received a bomb threat Friday afternoon against five Target stores in the area. The threat, received at 12:26 p.m. via email, centered around Target’s LGBTQ+ merchandise. Immediately jumping to action, our staff made reports with each local police department as well as the Cleveland Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigations. It was not immediately known if the threats were legitimate, though precautions were quickly taken to ensure no one got hurt. The threatening email was aimed at Targets in Jackson Township, Boardman, Stow, Niles, and Monaca, Penn. But as Twitchy noted, it doesn’t appear the threats were sent by people upset with Target over the woke duds they had tried to sell: it was (allegedly) someone upset that Target had taken down the products. A producer with WOIO shared details and a screenshot of the emailed threat via his Twitters account: |

| #8 Surprised that they even admitted it was the freaks making threats and not just blame it on the white supremacisses anyway. |

| #7 #4 Super Hose nails it (so to speak.) The victim hierarchy changes constantly, and it's hard to tell from day to day who's on top (so to speak.) |

| #6 someone upset that Target had taken down the products. That was my and should be default assumption. Other thing, video of the looted stores are attempting to blame the destruction on 'Radical Conservatives' instead of the 'diverse flashmobs'. |

| #5 Trans people are by definition mentally unstable, so it's no surprise that they are potentially violent. |

| #4 I think the problem they are running into is that the threats are being made by a protected class of people. This causes issues for the Feds. It’s kind of like if Ray Epps robs a store. What do you do? What is the protocol for dealing with a perpetrator that is by definition blameless? |
