To those who've been critical of the protesters who are looting and burning down Targets -- please, shut up. The CEO of Target has officially issued a statement in response to the nationwide protests in the wake of the recent murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and Geoge Floyd. The CEO, Brian Cornell, penned an open letter in support of the protesters and communities across America that are constantly dealing with police brutality.
"We are a community in pain. That pain is not unique to the Twin Citiesit extends across America. The murder of George Floyd has unleashed the pent-up pain of years, as have the killings of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor. We say their names and hold a too-long list of others in our hearts. As a Target team, weve huddled, weve consoled, weve witnessed horrific scenes similar to whats playing out now and wept that not enough is changing. And as a team weve vowed to face pain with purpose," reads the letter.
Its hard to see now, but the day will come for healingand our team will join our hearts, hands and resources in that journey. Even now, Target leaders are assembling community members, partners and local officials to help identify what more we can do together and what resources are required to help families, starting right here in Minnesota."

Target, Target, Target
First you kick the Salvation Army bell ringers off your sidewalks
Then you let men into the women’s bathrooms
Now this
Sigh
I wouldn’t shop with you if you were the last store on the planet
What about the elderly white couple who were murdered recently by a black thug while visiting their son’s grave?
Crickets from the media.
The elderly white man who was beaten in a nursing home by a black thug? Crickets.
Most racial crime is black on white, NOT the other way around.
Boycott Target!
Target was allowed open while most stores were closed.
We’ll see if he says the same after the rest of his stores are looted and burned. I’m sure that he will be commiserating with his unemployed employees.
In Dallas a white woman was shot point blank in her car, in her garage by a 16 year old black kid looking to carjack her car. Just happened a few days ago in Preston Hollow.
That smiling idiot has not seen one penny of my hard-earned cash ever since his rest room fiasco. Now he has doubled down. I am looking forward to more and more Target stores being closed down permanently until the company goes bankrupt.
Several years ago, Target closed one of their relatively new super stores near me. They could not compete with other retailers, and Walmart was building a new store within a mile. The building remained vacant until a couple of other retailers took it over.
OK if I was a major shareholder in Target and I saw that this guy was basically playing patty cake with looters and thieves, I would liquidate my shares. He might as well have said “I know you good folk are just venting, so in order to help this process we do have more stores for you to loot and destroy. Fairy!
I’m sure it has been said dozens of times already, but if I hadn’t already boycotted Target, I would now.
Outrageous.
If it was a black woman shot in a car in her garage by a 16-year old white kid, it would be balls-to-the-walls media coverage and Al Sharpton would already be marching through the streets of Dallas with his damn bullhorn.
So go burn down an loot all Tragets, you have the CEO’s invitation.
I will not buy a piece of bread there if they were the last store open.
The brothers have never ever passed up a reason to loot and vandalize. they really do not give a rip about the victim as 99% never knew who was until the incident
Target tried the Canadian market a few years ago. They failed MISERABLY! It cost them billions! I charge American conservatives with the task of repeating the job that Canadian consumers completed years ago.
Screw Target. Target management, you are WAY off target!
I haven’t set foot in Target since they cheered for men in the ladies room. After reading this jerk’s pusillanimous statement, I hope the Antifa thugs take out their “pain” on every one of his crappy stores. In fact, I want to know why he hasn’t given them free matches to help them with their self-expression. After all, he’s “wept that not enough is changing.”
What a sickening waste of oxygen on this planet.
I could really write what I think of this Nancy-boy, but I’m liable to get kicked off of here.
Suffice it to say that if Miss Brian here is so in tune with the Commie Rent-a-mob, then he should open up all of his stores 24x7 to them, so they’ll have a meeting point, plus food, clothes, and other assorted life requirements.
That word salad is a bunch of happy horsesh!t. We haven’t been in a Target for 20 years.
WTF!
OK, close down all Target stores until we feel better.
I don’t think I’ve been to a target more than twice, over the last 15 years, since I discovered that while they sell lgbt greeting cards, they do NOT sell Christian greeting cards. (At least the target in my area).
So, Target is selectively picking which stores to close (about 1 in 10)? As in they are looking at each area the stores are in to determine which ones to lock up? Sounds like profiling.
So glad Ive always hated Target.
