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 Cities—it 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, we’ve huddled, we’ve consoled, we’ve witnessed horrific scenes similar to what’s playing out now and wept that not enough is changing. And as a team we’ve vowed to face pain with purpose," reads the letter.
It’s hard to see now, but the day will come for healing—and 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."

This country is the way it is because there are no morals. Where did the rioters and looters get their moral compass? They do not know right from wrong, period.
Target encourages a “moral-less” society by letting men who might think they are women that day into the same restrooms and dressing rooms with little girls.
Everything comes down to kicking God out of schools and society.
Looking forward, he seeks to buy mob favor. And direct their fury to some other company.
He believes the mob will respect his groveling. I doubt that.
He does need to make sure his membership in the Southern Poverty Law Center is paid-up.
and now, it'll just be a continual spiral down to bankruptcy, maybe that's even what they really want....
Giving your lunch money to the school bully always works.
Maybe Target could supply free matches to 'the protesters'... or just grovel before the looters... provide keys to safes? Go for it Target. Signal your great virtue to each other...
It is. The statement is on Target’s website.
So, why didn’t those Democrat mayors and governors and eight years of Obama and Biden do anything to alleviate that pent-up pain?
And closes 170+ stores that are being “targetted” by the honest and righteous protestors for looting.
F- Target.
So why are you closing your stores if you support the looters and anarchists?
May all your stores burn down you FOOL!
Oh my God. Now I know why they let men into the ladies room.
I'll do my part.
Big surprise there.
I guess this means short Target Monday morning.
Target needs to pass out gift cards to any looters who find that their favored items have already disappeared from stock.
So if I go to my nearest Target and take a TV or whatever else I want, I can say it was due to my pent-up pain and walk away? Thanks!
I also avoid Starschmucks for this same type of PC privilege shaming. When I want strong coffee there’s Cuban owned mom and pop bodegas around Tampa that serve great stuff at more reasonable prices and without the pretentious virtue signalling aura Starbucks is known for. Besides, given their progressive corp culture you’d think Target and Starbucks would want us to BUY LOCALLY.
Brian Cornell is a masochist?
There are plenty of flagellation establishments in midtown Manhattan that can give him all the pain he wants. But it’s gonna cost him plenty.
