Storyful via Yahoo ^ | 7/16/20

Protesters marched through Seattle, Washington, on July 16, in a demonstration calling for a boycott of the Starbucks coffee chain.

Footage of the march shows protesters chanting “we ain’t shopping at Starbucks no more.” Protesters called for Starbucks to cut all ties with and support for Seattle Police Department during the demonstration.

Starbucks’s first store opened in Seattle in 1971, and since then the company has grown to become the largest coffee chain in the world. However the business has come under fire for a series of racially charged incidents.

Yeah, there’s that...but maybe with all the “Autonomous Communities” that have popped up it’s turf wars....Can’t wait to see what happens when the “Sasquatch Autonomous Sovereign Zone” pops up.

I’ve been needing to read that post for a while. It’s somewhat comforting.

I’ve been boycotting them since my first and last cup of their burnt brew.

Self-correction: It was Boca Java where I’d get Blue Mountain and Kona. Gevalia’s selections were a bit sparse, so I switched suppliers.

Everybody gets a turn at the being the focus of the zombie mob...especially those dumb enough to try to appease the zombies in the past.

I guess Starbucks isn’t quite woke enough...

"Burnt, overpriced coffee is a problem?"

My oldest son and I feel the same way about them. My youngest son doesn't drink coffee. I think the last cup of coffee I had from Starbucks was in Salisbury England, in 2006. I get my flavored whole beans from a company in Shreveport, La. They've never let me down.

They are attacking businesses and individuals who are donating to the Seatrpe Police Foundation, a private foundation not counted by the police department or the city, who donate money to said foundation.

Their, the Marxist BLM antifa Defund Seattle PD types; are going after the those donors because the foundation pays for safety equipment for officers that the police department cannot afford.

The listed items that they hate the foundation paying for are bicycle helmets for bike officers who have to man the protest lines, ballistic helmets and visors that foot officers need to man the protest lines, shinguards for officers who have to man the protest lines...and other protective gear.

They are attqcking the seattle police foundation ...and other police foundatiins around the country...to make the poloce less effective against the mob. They literally don’t think it is fair that the police have safety equipment.

This is highly organized and nationwide.

We are at the apex of the fight for our nation’s future and the marxists have the momentum and organization to move their goals forward.

The people who are not communists need to wake the F up....we need to wake the sleeping nation before it is all lost in one presidential election.

Woke meet woke.

Collectivism is all about all for one, except for the times that it isn’t.

Another example of The Left turning on itself.

I had their stuff maybe once or twice. I’d sooner boil muddy water and throw cream and sugar in it than ever drink that swill again.
