“’America has become unsafe’” WUT!? Nobody told us. What a fidiot! 😵‍💫

Look in the mirror!

"This is just the beginning, there are going to be many more," he concluded.

Boarded up stores, right out of Atlas Shrugged.

Hmmm - Starbucks supported BLM and the Summer of Destruction…and said they wanted to end ‘systemic racism’. How’s that going?

When you back progressive candidates, you get progressive results. Chew on that for a moment, Mr. Schultz.

Should have happened while Minneapolis was burning to celebrate Saint George.

Hey Starbucks CEO you helped create this ENJOY THE SUCK you POS!!

[Gaffer]

It isn’t “America” that’s unsafe; it’s DEMOCRAT-RUN American cities that aren’t safe. Call a spade a spade and stop blaming the whole country, leftist. We have two of your overpriced coffee stores here in my little town. Never once a problem.....

“’America has become unsafe’”

Bullsh!t.....It may have played a part but the main reason they had to close was the imbecilic corporate decision to let anyone hang out in the stores and use the bathrooms etc.

They became congregations of bums, homeless and druggies chasing all their legitimate customers away.

It’s taken him 2yrs to figure this out? Dolt.

[ConservativeMind]

I am offended that he is blaming everyone but himself, as a liberal.

He has voted and encouraged exactly the mess such cities have, including Seattle.

How dare he take it out on criminals or people he supported!

[flatpickingflyer]

Remember when they started letting nonpaying degenerates loiter in their stores out of fear of being labeled raaayyyycists!

Get woke, go broke.

[unixfox]

I guess supporting the “Defund Police” movement isn’t working so well for them.

[Michael.SF.]

Starbucks may have unwittingly set themselves up to be sued. The first barista who gets shot, or otherwise hurt will claim: You closed those stores, but not this one? Why not? You knew there was a problem.

She/he/it will win.

How stupid are these people. His political stances have helped put the politicians in place who have turned our cities into violent wastelands.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

When reality meets virtue—signaling.

I keep making cowboy coffee. No need for Starbucks or any overpriced coffee product. Talk about evidence for the addictive properties of caffeine....drive by a large Starbucks coffeehouse...think 5-20 bucks to starBUCKS per car...
