SHERWOOD, Ark. — Protesters supporting the Black Lives Matter movement blocked the entrances and exits of two Arkansas Walmart locations Sunday afternoon, forcing the stores to close.
Dozens of demonstrators, chanting “Black lives matter,” “Defund the police” and “Defund Walmart,” marched in front of Walmart locations in Jacksonville and Sherwood, KARK reported.
A few protesters at each site carried signs that read, “Walmart is destroying public education,” among other messages.
The retail giant is based in Bentonville, Arkansas, but it was not immediately clear if proximity to the corporate headquarters had any bearing on Sunday’s protests.
According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, an employee at the Jacksonville location said the store was shut down due to the protests around 1:30 p.m., and the protesters moved about 10 minutes later to the Sherwood Supercenter. That store was then closed shortly before 3 p.m., after the remaining shoppers left, and protesters remained outside until about 3:15 p.m., when they headed south.

No sign of the police, even in rural Arkansas.
We’re locked and loaded......they don’t want to show up in our part of the country....big mistake......
....
I hear you!
These ghetto ferals are going to find out in short order, Americans in the suburbs are not going to tolerate the terrorist acts of these filthy savages!
Americans should be rewarded for head shots on these A$$holes!
It’s not going to stop because conservatives are unwilling to fight back en masse
That’s the problem. Walmart didn’t give the funds directly to BLM so the money grubbing marxist/anarchists can’t get their hands on it.
The center may actually spend the money trying to solve problems in the black community.
We have lost.
BLM and ANTIFA see us as PAPER TIGER.
Almost as great as Burn, Loot, Murder!
Yours is better but I forgot it so I tried to make up another one. Thanks. Either way, dangerous criminal gangs should be shut down post haste! No civilized society can survive with dangerous Hamas/plo type murder gangs freely roaming streets and neighborhoods.
I think many are “willing”, the problem seems to be the lack of an effective organization that the willing can join.
“Ain’t Burglary, Looting, and Mayhem a wonderful pro=black organization? /s”
I like your “BLM,” translation.
How about mine?
“Bully, Loot and Murder!”
Either way, they are losers.
The fact that elected officials and LE are too cowardly to stop it does not change that fact.
That's 100% correct !

We’re they “protesting” or just stealing the hair care products that Walmart used to keep under lock and key, but don’t any more.
It does seem Walmart’s and Targets are frequently targeted. Whyso? Looting?
They are getting ready to close down the election booths in November.
Governors better be ready to deploy the national guard to keep them open.
Americans should be rewarded for head shots on these A$$holes!
Rah-rah.........;)

Apparently, black jobs don’t matter. How many blacks who worked there won’t get a paycheck this week?
These rioters get more dumb every day.
Agreed! They’re natural losers for sure. But until police arrest them or citizens shoot back, alas, they really aren’t losing.
Probably all of them that worked there.
If you think BLM actually gives a hoot about the welfare of Blacks. You are only deluding yourself.
At this point, we are shopping Publix only as a last resort. The other day, I described Publix prices as comparable to 7-11. Fortunately, we have multiple other grocery options, including local family markets, butcher shop, Aldi and Walmart.
