LEGO stops marketing police-themed toys 'in light of recent events'
The Blaze ^ | 6/4/20 | Breck Dumas

Toy company Lego requested Tuesday that marketing affiliates immediately cease advertising several of its law enforcement-related products and to even pull them from websites "in light of recent events," as protests rage nationwide over the death of George Floyd.

After some thought, I have decided that #defundthepolice is a worthy cause.

I couldn't agree more. If people can't or won't defend themselves, that's on them.

The corporate execs should get on their knees and rename the firm from LEGO to PANDER.

It’s had its fair share of liberal storylines. There was the Muslim terrorist who turned out to be a blonde white woman, and all the Muslims interviewed were appalled that she had misunderstood the tenants of her new religion. There was the prostitute who was murdered by her devout Christian mother. There was the one where our hero cops were manning the gun buyback table. The one that finally made me quit was when a racist right-wing talk show host was due to speak and Chief Reagan made sure it was all minority cops working security, which of course drove the host’s racist listeners away from the event.

If rioters looters and looters attack their corporate offices and retail stores - who are they going to call?

Who’s next for Lego - Firemen? EMT’s?

There is a national mental disease. It makes the sick person lose all ability to think rationally. Emotion replaces reason and the sufferer follows the latest groupthink fad.
So now cops are the enemy. How long before some rioter kills a cop?

LEGO came a long way from when I was little 50+ years ago. But now, not in a good way.

Just when you think the virtue signaling can’t get more absurd.

Okay, here is my experience, about a year ago, at a LEGO store.

Hubby and I live in a suburb of Seattle. We went to a local mall one Saturday to get a birthday gift for our step-grandson. We looked at the LEGO store, as the boy likes Lego sets, and we found one we liked.

After I paid for my purchase, the guy hands me a receipt, but doesn't put the box into a bag for me to carry. I ask him for a bag; and, he says that they don't give out plastic bags because of environmental reasons.

So, a place/company that makes a fortune selling boxes of little plastic bits, will not give me a plasic bag in order for me to more easily carry my box of little plastic bits.

Irony is completely lost on the Left.

I’ve never seen it, personally, but those that watch it seem very loyal to it.

That must have been a local ordinance thing - I hit the Lego store regularly in AZ and CA and have always gotten a bag. The problem I have encountered is they are often out of all but the largest bag, so the one Lego set and two packs of MiniFigs go home with me in a bag large enough to carry a 30-pound bag of dog food!

They have made there statement, now I will make mine. My daughter loves Lego's, but I will not buy any more until they reverse this insanity.

Adverts for them are already pulled, along with the White House.
