Me: Target is trapped in the crossfire. If the stores support LGBTQ rights and sell merchandise indicating this, they are subjected to death threats from neo-Nazis. If they submit to the neo-Nazis and withdraw the materials or just plain don't support the movement, then they are sharply criticized by the tolerance crowd.
Not sure target has a way to win in this scenario.
L: In trouble from all directions , so why not just sell shirts and whatever in basic form . Why do business have to make statements everyone is a potential customer , leave the printing to some after market shop .
Me: Targeting a particular group of customers to please them is a critical part of any business venture. What you're proposing is a business produce nothing but bland thoroughly generic merchandise. If they manage to get any funding to open such a store, it won't last a single quarter.
If you don't like what Target is doing, just don't shop there. Although I would certainly not support such a boycott. Nevertheless I would support your right to boycott them. But death threats? Surely you can cab condem that.
L: Boycott never good idea , each person make own mind for what ever reason .
S: Death threats to sales clerks? Seems to me that the nazi threat makers are the problem. Shouldn't be that hard to track them down and throw them in jail. For a long time. They are dangerous creatures.
S: I really meant it when I said that Trumps red hats are the programs of The Duce's black shirts or Hitler's brown shirts.
In fairness not all red hats are that extreme, but plenty of them are.
