After months of criticism and protests, an embattled piercing shop owner says hes closing for good.
It is with a heavy heart that I announce the final closing of PANGEA, states a notice now posted in the window of Pangea Piercing, 211 E. Liberty St., in downtown Ann Arbor.
With organized Communists harassing my clients and attempting to doxx them, and a local media thats all too comfortable taking rumors as facts, theres just no way forward for me.
Its the official closing, J.C. Potts, owner of the business that has operated on Liberty Street for nearly a decade, confirmed on Thursday, Dec. 6, declining to comment on his future plans.
Potts initially closed his shop in August following allegations that he has a history of sharing white supremacist views with customers. He denies being a racist, but his critics believe otherwise.

If facts support racism, is it still racism?
So, it has nothing to do with health concerns
....
Damn. Now where am I going to go to get my Prince Albert ?
I saw this coming years ago.
I was sitting in class when a fellow(black) student was pestering another girl student on why she refused to go on a date with him. The fact he was a jerk(and black) were probably the reason she refused but he kept coming at her with “It’s because I’m Black, right? RIGHT!”
Dunno if she fell for his accusations but I imagine some white girls have succumbed and went on dates with jerks like this. Especially nowadays.
This was in 1975, btw.
This pestering to businesses who don’t “tow the (PC)line” has got to stop but I don’t know how it will short of violence.

Had he shared Black supremicist views, Ann Arbor would have loved him.
.
Nor “spending more time with Family...”
Do you know facts that support the claim of him being a racist?
Then he’s a coward. No big loss.
Pangea? Maybe his piercings kept reuniting.
There are a lot of holes in his story.
Well, you know, I think this is foolish behavior in a retail setting. When I go into a store I am not interested in the owner’s sociopolitical views, I just want to transact my purchase.
I’m sure this guy is right in everything he says about this situation of his store, but he still could have probably avoided the whole situation.
