We should try to get that Kyle Rittenberg or Rittenstein kid down there to the target so he can "protect property" from these false flag attacks.
He could also patrol beer coolers in case any other idiots want to start destroying property in another FBI funded false flag attack there.

Big political wins for the right are now not having to see one specific rack of clothes should they ever find themselves in a Target.
Or maybe it's just a smaller rack of clothes this year.
Who knows.

They won't go on the record.
A quick Google search would reveal a few domestic violence convictions and a couple of pending charges for lewd acts with a minor.

It's not. But the BLM marches were about fighting fascism. Not stealing TVs. Criminals just took advantage of the opportunity to commit crimes.
BLM or democrat leaders were not encouraging anyone to steal TVs, the way republican leaders were encouraging people to overthrow democracy.

Then why did the BLM/ANTIFA rioters pillage and loot Target stores across America? Also I was so upset to see BLM is about to be bankrupt so sad (sniffles)
The Left in 2020: (Steals TVs and destroys stores) we are fighting fascism!!!
The Left on Republicans not shopping at Target anymore 2023: This is literally genocide of Trans people!!!

Funny how republicans are so much more upset about the theft of TVs than they are about a fascist coup attempt to end democracy.
The left wasn't stealing TVs. Criminals were taking advantage of a march against government tyranny to steal tvs. I remember when republicans used to be opposed to government tyranny. Now they are opposed to democracy.

How many trans people have preyed on kids in pool locker rooms? Does it exceed the number of non-trans people who did the same thing?
If someone wants to prey on a child they are just going to do it, not become trans as some grand disguise.

You've confirmed nothing but your idiocy.
There is no equivalence between the BLM protests and the insurrection and attempted overthrow of the U.S. Government. Only a truly brain-damaged mouth-breathing moron would even attempt to make that equivalence. Are you a brain-damaged mouth-breathing moron?

I mean since every time 1/6 gets mentioned your cult deflects to BLM, as if BLM riots were an insurrection or coup attempt, surely you can point to some of these rioters attempting to overthrow the government right? And being encouraged by their party leaders to do so?

Please feel free to clarify, so far I've established that ANTIFA/BLM did perpetrate actual violence at Target. That no one can prove any threats the right has made towards Target employees. And the final one just for good measure ... If people have a rat's ass about January 6th Joe Biden would be decimating Trump in the polls and yet Biden is getting crushed.
