Utah Target EVACUATED after it received a bomb threat for 'turning its back' on LGBT community after Pride collection walk back - store is one of several across Midwest to receive threats

A Utah Target has been evacuated and a bomb squad has been called in after multiple threats were made against stores across the state and five in Ohio after the company's annual Pride collection sparked fury.

A Layton Target - located at 810 West 2000 North - was evacuated after receiving multiple bomb threats. A bomb squad and a K9 unit were deployed to the store around 1pm, according to KUTV.

All staff and customers were directed to the parking lot.

Police said stores in Layton, Salt Lake, Taylorsville and Provo were threatened. Authorities became aware of the threats after local news stations received emails threatening danger and referencing the company's new controversial Pride collection.

Five Targets in across Northeast Ohio and Pennsylvania were also threatened, according to Cleveland 19, who received a threatening email listing stores in Stow, North Canton, Boardman, Niles, Ohio and Monaca, Pennsylvania.

'Target is full of [redacted] cowards who turned their back on the LGBT community and decided to cater to homophobic right wing, redneck, bigots, who protested and vandalized their store,' the email to Cleveland 19 read. 'We won't stand idly by as the far right continues to hunt us down.

'We are sending you a message, we placed a bomb in the following Targets,' the email continued. 'We will continue to bomb your Targets until you stop cowering and bring back your LBGT merchandise.

'We will not be erased, we won't go quietly.'

Cleveland 19 reported the threatening email to all local police forces and the FBI.

Layton Police Sergeant John Ottesen told KUTV that the threats made in Utah came from a 'bogus email address.'

Email bomb threats are becoming a thing now

Central Indiana had to close 41 schools for the day about a month ago

I’ve never heard the conclusions of any investigation

“We won’t stand idly by as the far right continues to hunt us down.”

These people are insane. They are upset because they can’t buy “women’s” swim suits with “tuck” padding to hide the snake or homo sexualized clothes for two year old toddlers.

But they CAN still buy them. They can buy them from the same places they always did and still do.

They buy them from Amazon and other internet retailers.

This is not about perverts being able to buy their stuff. It was about shoving it in the faces of normal people.

It is like the Pervert Pride stuff. No one buys it. A good 93% of it goes back to the supplier. And that is in the big cities.

Right you are...”It was about shoving it in the faces of normal people.”

It’s all part of their effort to absolutely destroy everything normal.

I just drove 1,300 miles from the Silicon Valley to Winnemucca, NV, to Boise, ID, to Ketchum, ID, to Darby, MT and finally to Coeur d’Alene, ID. All along the way I met dozens of perfectly normal people. It’s weird how all this cultural / color revolution is happening, but out in the real world, things still roll along as normal without a hint of the cultural rot we read so much about.

What stores were “vandalized” by these alleged “right wing bigots”?

“We will not be erased, we won’t go quietly.”

The drama queens need to be careful about what they wish for.

Thankful this was said to be by the gays for Target sycophants turning their backs. CIA and FBI slipped up and didn’t get a phony MAGA story out in time. Must have been busy with prostitutes and cocaine that slowed them down today.

What if there are dueling bomb threats with the hapless American shopper in the middle? Target’s fault.

I was up in UT, MT, WY and ID last year for vacation, and it’s like being in a totally different country.

People were so much more civilized up there compared to down here in the third world sh*thole of Montgomridishu AL.

“Target has just learned - playing with the LGBT/tranny movement is like playing with the devil. Once you have opened the door to them, you will never be free.”

What you say is true but this was a free choice — just like individual people who choose to consort with demons.

“Utah, Pennsylvania and North Carolina are in the Midwest?”

It is if you are in England

Absolutely right. The kindness and overall pleasantness is astonishing. We live in North Idaho and that’s one of the key reasons (along with politics, beauty, conservatism, etc).
