The same Target that was gutted by looting and arson last summer as riots raged in Minneapolis over the death of George Floyd now displays art on the side of its building celebrating Black Lives Matter themes including a burning building.

If there wasn’t a firehouse in the way, I could see the Target store from my dining room as I type this.

I haven’t darkened their doors since the bathroom thing.

The Woke korporations...

Kudos to you. Korporations with a "k" is a very fitting term/spelling. I'm stealing that to use that when referencing such Nazi korporations.

I suspect that Target is painfully aware that they've lost so many customers to on-line shopping that aren't coming back so they need to pander to those who'll still go into brick and mortar stores in sufficient numbers to keep the doors open.

I also suspect Target created their "Greatland" stores which added groceries to attract food stamp customers.

Will insurance companies pay when the insured hangs out signs saying “Burn me down”?

I’m going to bet the CEO is an inheritor who never really had to produce a damn thing in his whole life. Anyone who actually busts his butt to run a business doesn’t celebrate a bunch of criminals setting fire to it.

We already knew Target is not the sharpest knife in the merchant’s drawer.

Hey, the “mostly peaceful” protesters lit our store on fire and due to the “mostly peaceful” protests the Fire Dept or store employees couldn’t get to the store causing tens of thousands of gallons of water from the sprinklers to flood the building. Let’s let them paint a mural of a burning store, police station, liquor store, etc on our building.

Yes. The fools at Target think they’re buying better treatment for the store the next time around by doing a bit of groveling. It doesn’t work.

No, it’s more like Stockholm Syndrome as others have pointed out. Actually assimilating the conqueror’s world view.

I doubt that they’re really adopting their views the way a true Stockholm Syndrome victim does. They’re like the white liberals in Portland who ran out shouting “Wait! Don’t you know we’re on your side?” They think they’re buying a pass.

Well, Ted Wheeler really did adopt Antifa’s ideology. But later he changed, just recently actually, as he decided that wasn’t such a good idea.

Took him long enough! I guess he finally understood the thing about feeding the crocodile, hoping it will eat him last...and decided he didn’t want to be eaten at all.

I’m sure they have a very customer friendly policy at this store of letting neighborhood youfs walk with whatever they want. In Honor of Saint George.
