Wouldn’t that violate the civil rights act of 1964?

Then they can give it back!

Someone could put Trump 2020 campaign stickers on the store windows and then call ANTIFA.

[Robert DeLong]

Well I hope they reap what they sow, eventual bankruptcy.

Warning signs.

Warning. Don't go there - don't mess with that.

Back up slowly and go somewhere else.

Nope. Not going there either.

I couldn't find the origins article at the local news station thru the Daily Mail site, but found an older article about the same store...Civvies. The manager is in the video...at about the 30 second mark...I believe that's the person...Raine Blunk.

The only item missing from this racist, Nazi boutique was a lampshade made from human skin.

"‘It was not our intention to act in any way that might be perceived as discriminatory and for that we apologize,’ the owners, who were not named in the statement, wrote."

That’s exactly what their intention was. They just got called on it.
