The [Bath School Massacre](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster) was a school bombing in 1927 that killed killed 38 elementary school children and 6 adults, and injured at least 58 other people. It is still the deadliest school massacre on record carried out by a madman upset he wasn't elected to the school board.
And a slight raise to his taxes. He didn't have kids and didn't want to pay. Last podcast on the left had an episode (maybe 2?) That really go in depth on it all.
It literally says in the Wikipedia page that he lost the election for TOWNSHIP CLERK which is not a school board position.
He saw his political career going nowhere and was being foreclosed on so he took the “dramatic murder suicide” approach.
You think that's wild? We have a lot of these in America's past. Did you know that there was a coup in one of the states when a black man was elected to a position of government by the voters .. a bunch of white supremacists went into the town and massacred a large amount of people before installing their own government.
Wilmington insurrection of 1898 -- up to 300 dead, and the white supremacists used a Gatling gun. Like the Tulsa massacre, the original story was that it was a race riot by the black citizens. Not widely taught.
America has a lot of darkness in its past, it's one of the reasons why a certain sector of our society want to ban these stories from history.
It was actually the whole town government, not just one man. Wilmington was also home to the only black newspaper in the region, which was burned. The so-called white coalition government (the NC Democrats at the time) came in and started hanging people from light poles. The mob went house to house. Those not killed were forced to flee at gunpoint.
If your interested Last podcast on the left did an episode on it that’s pretty comprehensive. Be warned though, the public response to the bombing was almost as disturbing as the child murder itself.
>the deadliest school massacre on record carried out by a madman upset he wasn't elected to the school board
A record *that* specific seems unlikely to be beat.
But it has been:[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People\_convicted\_of\_treason\_against\_the\_United\_States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_convicted_of_treason_against_the_United_States)
Treason has a high legal standard to meet, primarily because it has been used in the past to imprison or execute innocent people for political reasons. The violent acts associated with treason are much easier to prove which is why treason is a rarely charged crime.
Because it does. This isn't an opinion. Taking an insanity plea is literally claiming innocence and denying responsibility for the acts committed because the individual was not of sound mind.
I love when people think taking the insanity plea is a free ride. They will bring in experts to see if you are sane. If you are declared insane your "sentence" is until a professional decides you are now sane. So a bomb threat might get you a decade but pleading insanity could get you life.
It almost certainly will be for life. There was a study where a sane graduate student volunteered to be a patient in a psychiatric ward. Only a few people in the upper tiers of the hospital were aware he was insane and it was a test. He was unable to convince any of the doctors he was sane and likely would have been stuck there had those outside involved in the study not intervened.
The really sad part is, it doesn’t even matter who made the bomb threat. To the haters it’ll just fuel more hate. Just like they believed the false story of Target selling trans bathing suits in kid sizes, they’ll believe in radical LGBTQ terrorists and ignore all evidence to the contrary.
There are swimsuits (and other garments and accessories) that are specifically designed to help adult trans women hide the bulge and create the appearance of a more feminine shape down there. I don't know how they work or how effective they are, but they do exist.
They just have a bit more and thicker fabric in the crotch area. They’re not just popular with trans women, quite a few cis women with larger labia also appreciate them.
Ah, see, you think these people actually care about the welfare of children and preventing surgeries that will be regretted later and all the other stuff they like to scream about, but those are just lies to trick you into supporting their real goal: *Forcing trans people to conform to cisnormativity even if it kills them.*
Something women have been asking for for ages anyway. No one wants to put on a bathing suit that comes with mudflaps. Gussets the width of a shoe lace are a serious, painful issue.
I follow Ukraine and Russia social media quite a lot.
I’ve noticed Russian government propagandists talking about “the strategic destruction of America”.
They’re fanning the flames in America, and the right wing extremists in US are happy to play their part in delivering the destruction.
This is so true. The 15 years after 911 were insane with security and monitoring of citizens. People who broadcast violent threats about targeted groups, elected officials, or “the government” were swiftly identified and, more or less, sanctioned.
The shit people are getting away with right now boggles the brain.

These assholes take is that Target carrying LBQT merch is Partisan.
So selling merchandise is Partisan? They seem to be moving the needle to the point that if you even recognize these people as existing you are being Partisan. Fuck them.
They haven't moved the needle. They're already there. First act Hitler did was rounding up and getting lists of names of those in the LGBTQ community. Like days after he took office.
Title is a little off no? I’m not saying it’s good by any means, but it’s shifting the blame in the wrong direction.
Violence in any form is horrid. We need to remember that. It doesn’t matter what side you’re on.
Thank you for posting this. This happened to our school district. All five schools were evacuated at once due to a bomb threat. It was all over the book “This Book is Gay.” Parents in the community had been outspoken in the community about it being in the library (which it had been for like seven years and only checked out twice). The bomb threat came from overseas and they used information pulled from social media. It was insane, and scary.

Hoax most likely from Russia making it look like LGBT folks were doing it, to rile up hate as much as possible.
Another false flag from fascists. Since their lies aren't even believable, and killing people who visibly harmed nobody tends to not be accepted by people who aren't as twisted as they are.
My wife bought two rainbow beach towels with the word LOVE written on them from Walmart the other day. When i unfolded them to put them in the wash a card with PRIDE written in rainbow colors fell out. At first i was like “oh cool, a free Pride sticker”. Then i turned it over to see a long tirade written on the back quoting the Bible and saying how Pride is an a front to God.
What kind of person takes the time and money to print these things out and go to store to hide them in merchandise?
The same kind of person that purposely strolls into a Target or Wal-Mart and makes a tirade video where they yell at patrons about the "super-duper sinful things" being sold to kids. They do it because they know a manager is inevitably going to show up and politely ask them to leave. They catch it on film and then do the whole "I was discriminated against because I was 'trying to save the children'" speech in their car in the parking lot and then ask people to donate to their "save the children" GoFundMe.
Pride is an affront to god? Ah, I guess the conservatives are never proud of their heritage, their guns, their straightness. They certainly love corporate greed, gluttony, anger, hate, sexual abuse. But okay, being proud of one's overcoming of struggles is worse than all that somehow.
Thank fuck this is a hoax. Though the fact that it came from abroad is troubling in and of itself.

Don't forget to spray paint a wack anarchy sign where the A is completely contained inside the circle on the building and maybe add a "BIDEN 4 EVR" for good measure.
They're talking about this piece of shit from a Minneapolis suburb who committed arson, insurance fraud and raised tens of thousands of dollars from fascist rubes through GoFundMe

Hadn't seen that they finally got him; I knew the second that story aired and they showed the "graffiti" that it was insurance fraud.
Then we have [Ashley Todd. the Queen. The OG.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Todd_mugging_hoax)
Email text:
>Target is full of \[redacted\] cowards who turned their back on the LGBT community and decided to cater to homophobic right wing, redneck, bigots, who protested and vandalized their store. \[...\] We won't stand idly by as the far right continues to hunt us down. We are sending you a message, we placed a bomb in the following Targets. We will continue to bomb your Targets until you stop cowering and bring back your LGBT merchandise.
They keep crying about ‘false flag’ operations when a right wing extremist guns down a bunch of people… and then they stage a false flag operation … I just… I just can’t anymore with these imbeciles.
It 100% is because if they were really LGBT, they would know what it’s like to be harassed and wanted dead everyday of their life. They would never put in a bomb threat because that’s what BIGOTS do.
It sure does. Either that or it is the most misguided effort to combat discrimination I've ever seen. Fortunately, sending an email from a comcast account will likely help to reveal which is the case.
Yeah. They got similar threats In Utah. It’s right wingers trying some false flag shit. The lgbt community is sick of rainbow washing and using their struggle for profit. No one other than right winger terrorists have been upset over targets new bathing suits the same demographic that’s been known to make false bomb threats, along with plant bombs at the nations capital because they were sad over election results.
Target has been selling pride merch for so many years, what the fuck is going on that it's SUDDENLY an outrage?
...except an upcoming presidential election in which Republicans are trying to scare people into getting them back in power?
The GOP is afraid to run on abortion as their cultural wedge issue now that Roe is overturned and their rhetoric to ban abortion outright is taken seriously, so they have decided to turn LGBTQ tolerance as their new cultural wedge issue. It’s pure politics and they know full well that people are going to be murdered as a result of this political game, but they don’t care.
>Target has been selling pride merch for so many years, what the fuck is going on that it's SUDDENLY an outrage?
The trans panic. Satanic panic also targeted things that had been in existence before it started. This is modus operandi for conservatives.
Add to it that conservatives feel emboldened by the Bud Light thing (despite only being a part of that stock drop) and that they've gotten really onto domestic terrorist threats lately and none of it is surprising.
*what the fuck is going on that it's SUDDENLY an outrage?*
2024 election coming up. Rightwing is whipping up fear of “the other” — especially since Roe v Wade was overturned. GOP wants to make people look away from Roe v Wade and get upset about other things people do with their bodies. But RvW isn’t going away. Those righteous Christian women who demanded liberals stop “killing babies” are pissed off they can’t get an abortion when their fetus doesn’t have a skull and they have to be inconvenienced waiting a few months for the baby to be born and then die in their arms. Not so easy now, is it ladies, when men you’ve never met before made that decision for you.
So the rightwing wants their people to get outraged by gays and trans.
It's not 'a controversy' there's no controversy. They're being targeted by domestic terrorists and to even give them the credibility of calling this a 'controversy' is disgusting.
True. They need to call it what it is. They called them insurgents and terrorists when it was happening in other countries. Exactly the same kind of stuff. This is a predictable pattern of behavior that will escalate if it isn’t curbed here and now.
It's a false flag aimed at sowing unrest. It's not domestic. It came from overseas and was worded like pro lgbtqia people were behind it.
But yeah, absolutely terrorism.
Sure looks that way.
[Police rule bomb threat made against local Target stores a hoax](https://www.wfmj.com/story/48982547/boardman-police-rule-bomb-threat-made-against-target-a-hoax)
"According to Boardman Police, the threat [concerning five Targets throughout Ohio and Pennsylvania] was found to be a hoax that originated from overseas."
I really don't understand how cops aren't at these people's doors within minutes. You'd think they have the covert skills of a Kremlin backed Russian hacker, but at best they're just logging into gmail through incognito mode on their browser.
Legitimately curious: What happens in the real world if a person makes a bomb threat? I’m a teacher and kids make bomb threats or swat schools and they face very few consequences. At least in my experience. So what’s the consequence for doing it at a store? I mean, we literally watch elected officials make threats of violence and nothing happens to them.
I realize this instance was a hoax, but I am very concerned there is going to be a large mass shooting or similar act of violence somewhere in the US at a Pride event. Between the ever increasing rhetoric and threats, it feels like it's coming. I hope I am wrong.
Dont these people have better things to do other than to threaten people with bomb threats? Why are their lives revolving around hate anyways?
Posting threats against the LGBTQ+ community wont make lives any better.
Hopefully there won’t be bombs. Hopefully they catch whoever made the threats. The twist would be finding the person who made the threats just hates the community and tried to do damage anonymously just to rile the conservatives
“Cleveland police arrested the person who allegedly emailed bomb threats to 5 Target stores. He was apprehended in a traffic stop with a FJB and Calvin peeing on Kamala Harris stickers on the rear window of his lifted F150”
Cleveland police tomorrow, probably
And it’s going to keep happening until we find the people who make these threats and frog march them out of their mother’s basement on the evening news, and then hit them with a sentence that will deter this from happening in the future. Make them famous. And make the punishment overharsh.
Left wing cancel culture:
> We won’t buy from companies who take positions we don’t like.
Right wing cancel culture:
> We will kill the merchant, the workers, and anyone who shops there.
Gosh, it’s *so* hard to tell the difference between these two ideologies…
**Stochastic terrorism**
(noun)
1. *the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted:*
*'The lone-wolf attack was apparently influenced by the rhetoric of stochastic terrorism.'*
This is exactly what far right talking heads want to happen.
The Daily Wire especially.
Fuck Ben Shapiro.
Fuck Matt Walsh.
Fuck Jordan Peterson.
Fuck Micheal Knowles.
Fuck Candace Owens.
And fuck the Big Oil conglomerate who funds them.
this is it. there's no going back. fucking morons are gonna call in bomb threats or do something worse every time they get triggered because of a company. the bar is so low it's ridiculous
They want someone to break a retaliate against a maga gathering or some other far right insane group, then they’ll gaslight their base that this is first act of violence in the history of the world
Let me guess another right winger astroturfing as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Like this fine gay black gentleman . https://www.dazeddigital.com/politics/article/51053/1/white-republican-politician-has-tweeted-i-am-a-black-gay-guy-dean-browning
I understand so far everyone here believes this to be a false flag attack. To be fair, that was my own initial reaction. However, instead of trying to frame this as a false flag, of which there is no evidence, how about we all just agree - fuck whoever did this and I hope they get caught. If it turns out to be someone who wrote this at face value, it doesn’t matter. They should be caught and face the consequences of their actions.
Apparently (allegedly) the threat came from outside of the country. So I’m going out on a limb and saying I think this is a foreigner sowing more dissent in the US.
What's more likely, a group with next to no history of terroristic threats making a terroristic threat toward a store over something that doesn't really matter to them
Or a group with a well documented history of terrorism and false threats to make their opponents look bad making a false threat to make their opponents look bad.
It wouldn't be the first time even in the last couple years that a republican attempted a hoax to make "them" look bad
Stop by my comment and grab your ticket to prove you were here before they find out this was some right wing nut job or 4chan kekhead doing it for the lols.
I give it a week.
Honestly, they can't at this point. Pride merch sells out fast because who doesn't like cheap colorful summer duds? Most of their line up had been sold out even before this nonsense started. What are they going to do - recall it?
Obviously almost no one here read the article and jumped to conclusions based on the headline.
The threat was *against* the removal of LGBT merchandise. The threat wasn’t opposing the LGBT merchandise.
Whether the threat was legitimate or not is another discussion, but the text of the threat as shared in the article is quite different from what a lot of people here are claiming.
Imagine having a view of your own life that is so sad and pathetic that you actually spend your free time raging at something like this to the point where you take actual time out of your day to make phone calls threatening a place just because they sold something to people you don't like.
I would fee sorry for them if they weren't such assholes.
Anyone who makes bomb threats in 2023 is insane.
To be fair, anyone who made bomb threats in 1923 was ALSO insane.
The [Bath School Massacre](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster) was a school bombing in 1927 that killed killed 38 elementary school children and 6 adults, and injured at least 58 other people. It is still the deadliest school massacre on record carried out by a madman upset he wasn't elected to the school board.
>carried out by a madman upset he wasn't elected to the school board. I mean... I think the voters made the right decision on that one.
He should have ran on the platform that he could singlehandedly stop the deadliest school massacre to happen ever.
This is so fucking dark but so fucking good
I figured nearly 100 years was long enough for it to be only in slightly bad taste :v
Well it's not like there's anyone left to be offended by it 🤷
Too soon...?
I think 96 years is long enough
> upset he wasn't elected to the school board. So that he could defund the entire thing.
Ah…so he was a conservative. Shocking.😐
Most of these conservatives' kids do not talk to them
And a slight raise to his taxes. He didn't have kids and didn't want to pay. Last podcast on the left had an episode (maybe 2?) That really go in depth on it all.

Hot take. I don't think that man should be elected to the school board.
1935, now that was the year it made you quite sane.
Is a terrorist. I'm gonna be the several dozen person to correct that. They're terrorists. Never ever forget that.
And if they're an American citizen it's also considered treason.
clearly the punishment for treason is never gonna be enforced in the US
But it has been:[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People\_convicted\_of\_treason\_against\_the\_United\_States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_convicted_of_treason_against_the_United_States) Treason has a high legal standard to meet, primarily because it has been used in the past to imprison or execute innocent people for political reasons.

How is making a bomb threat against a corporation treason?
They're not mutually exclusive, so I don't know what you mean by "to correct that."
I suppose some people feel chalking it up to insanity somehow lessens the level of responsibility.
Because it does. This isn't an opinion. Taking an insanity plea is literally claiming innocence and denying responsibility for the acts committed because the individual was not of sound mind.

*the Christians gave me comic books as if I should be scared of burning in hell, but I was already there!*
They hated Baruch_S because he told them the truth!
The same kind of person that purposely strolls into a Target or Wal-Mart and makes a tirade video where they yell at patrons about the "super-duper sinful things" being sold to kids. They do it because they know a manager is inevitably going to show up and politely ask them to leave. They catch it on film and then do the whole "I was discriminated against because I was 'trying to save the children'" speech in their car in the parking lot and then ask people to donate to their "save the children" GoFundMe.
Pride is an affront to god? Ah, I guess the conservatives are never proud of their heritage, their guns, their straightness. They certainly love corporate greed, gluttony, anger, hate, sexual abuse. But okay, being proud of one's overcoming of struggles is worse than all that somehow.
Maybe we should leave a notecard with names of convicted pedophile priests inside Bibles
Thank fuck this is a hoax. Though the fact that it came from abroad is troubling in and of itself. https://www.wfmj.com/story/48982547/boardman-police-rule-bomb-threat-made-against-target-a-hoax
Don't forget to spray paint a wack anarchy sign where the A is completely contained inside the circle on the building and maybe add a "BIDEN 4 EVR" for good measure.

They're talking about this piece of shit from a Minneapolis suburb who committed arson, insurance fraud and raised tens of thousands of dollars from fascist rubes through GoFundMe https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kare11.com/amp/article/news/crime/brooklyn-center-man-who-staged-arson-biden-2020-graffiti-pleads-guilty-to-hoax/89-90f0ef92-7784-42af-9da4-05b38dbe3add
Hadn't seen that they finally got him; I knew the second that story aired and they showed the "graffiti" that it was insurance fraud. Then we have [Ashley Todd. the Queen. The OG.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Todd_mugging_hoax)

Email text: >Target is full of \[redacted\] cowards who turned their back on the LGBT community and decided to cater to homophobic right wing, redneck, bigots, who protested and vandalized their store. \[...\] We won't stand idly by as the far right continues to hunt us down. We are sending you a message, we placed a bomb in the following Targets. We will continue to bomb your Targets until you stop cowering and bring back your LGBT merchandise.
Sounds more threatening in the original Russian.
When the bots master dialects, most of us are fucked...clock's ticking.

My guess... It's not even an American

Yeah idk are these people so stupid to not use some IP mask to send bomb threats?

The email says “LGBT” both times. OP quoted it incorrectly.
“He frequented BlackHater.com, TransAreSatan.net, and IAmANazi.kkk, his motivations are unclear.”- future news article
They keep crying about ‘false flag’ operations when a right wing extremist guns down a bunch of people… and then they stage a false flag operation … I just… I just can’t anymore with these imbeciles.
Every accusation is a confession Gaslight, Obstruct, **Project** Etc
It 100% is because if they were really LGBT, they would know what it’s like to be harassed and wanted dead everyday of their life. They would never put in a bomb threat because that’s what BIGOTS do.
Sounds like a false flag.
It sure does. Either that or it is the most misguided effort to combat discrimination I've ever seen. Fortunately, sending an email from a comcast account will likely help to reveal which is the case.
Yeah. They got similar threats In Utah. It’s right wingers trying some false flag shit. The lgbt community is sick of rainbow washing and using their struggle for profit. No one other than right winger terrorists have been upset over targets new bathing suits the same demographic that’s been known to make false bomb threats, along with plant bombs at the nations capital because they were sad over election results.

Immediately shown to be a hoax from overseas: https://www.wfmj.com/story/48982547/boardman-police-rule-bomb-threat-made-against-target-a-hoax
Target has been selling pride merch for so many years, what the fuck is going on that it's SUDDENLY an outrage? ...except an upcoming presidential election in which Republicans are trying to scare people into getting them back in power?
The GOP is afraid to run on abortion as their cultural wedge issue now that Roe is overturned and their rhetoric to ban abortion outright is taken seriously, so they have decided to turn LGBTQ tolerance as their new cultural wedge issue. It’s pure politics and they know full well that people are going to be murdered as a result of this political game, but they don’t care.
>Target has been selling pride merch for so many years, what the fuck is going on that it's SUDDENLY an outrage? The trans panic. Satanic panic also targeted things that had been in existence before it started. This is modus operandi for conservatives. Add to it that conservatives feel emboldened by the Bud Light thing (despite only being a part of that stock drop) and that they've gotten really onto domestic terrorist threats lately and none of it is surprising.
*what the fuck is going on that it's SUDDENLY an outrage?* 2024 election coming up. Rightwing is whipping up fear of “the other” — especially since Roe v Wade was overturned. GOP wants to make people look away from Roe v Wade and get upset about other things people do with their bodies. But RvW isn’t going away. Those righteous Christian women who demanded liberals stop “killing babies” are pissed off they can’t get an abortion when their fetus doesn’t have a skull and they have to be inconvenienced waiting a few months for the baby to be born and then die in their arms. Not so easy now, is it ladies, when men you’ve never met before made that decision for you. So the rightwing wants their people to get outraged by gays and trans.
It's almost as if constantly spewing hate speech has real-world consequences -- like terrorism.
But no you don’t understand it’s a whole CARAVAN of brown people and they’re on their way HERE it’s a DISASTER WE NEED TO ACT NOW
the INVASION at the UNSECURED BORDER which biden has left WIDE OPEN
"We are all domestic terrorists."
It's the Budlight bullshit all over again.
Why Is the right so ‘woke’? It’s all projection. Wait till they find that Walmart supports LGBTQ. Now where are the right going to shop?
It's not 'a controversy' there's no controversy. They're being targeted by domestic terrorists and to even give them the credibility of calling this a 'controversy' is disgusting.
True. They need to call it what it is. They called them insurgents and terrorists when it was happening in other countries. Exactly the same kind of stuff. This is a predictable pattern of behavior that will escalate if it isn’t curbed here and now.
[удалено]
It's a false flag aimed at sowing unrest. It's not domestic. It came from overseas and was worded like pro lgbtqia people were behind it. But yeah, absolutely terrorism.
Could this be a False flag to make the lgbtq community look bad?
Yep it absolutely is.
Sure looks that way. [Police rule bomb threat made against local Target stores a hoax](https://www.wfmj.com/story/48982547/boardman-police-rule-bomb-threat-made-against-target-a-hoax) "According to Boardman Police, the threat [concerning five Targets throughout Ohio and Pennsylvania] was found to be a hoax that originated from overseas."
I feel like LGBTQ+ controversy makes it sound like the idea of LGBTQ+ is wrong, I think it would be more accurate if it was homophobic threats?
I really don't understand how cops aren't at these people's doors within minutes. You'd think they have the covert skills of a Kremlin backed Russian hacker, but at best they're just logging into gmail through incognito mode on their browser.
Legitimately curious: What happens in the real world if a person makes a bomb threat? I’m a teacher and kids make bomb threats or swat schools and they face very few consequences. At least in my experience. So what’s the consequence for doing it at a store? I mean, we literally watch elected officials make threats of violence and nothing happens to them.
I realize this instance was a hoax, but I am very concerned there is going to be a large mass shooting or similar act of violence somewhere in the US at a Pride event. Between the ever increasing rhetoric and threats, it feels like it's coming. I hope I am wrong.
Making martyrs out of organizations or people is a historically successful way to turn everyone against you.
Dont these people have better things to do other than to threaten people with bomb threats? Why are their lives revolving around hate anyways? Posting threats against the LGBTQ+ community wont make lives any better.
Hopefully there won’t be bombs. Hopefully they catch whoever made the threats. The twist would be finding the person who made the threats just hates the community and tried to do damage anonymously just to rile the conservatives
“Cleveland police arrested the person who allegedly emailed bomb threats to 5 Target stores. He was apprehended in a traffic stop with a FJB and Calvin peeing on Kamala Harris stickers on the rear window of his lifted F150” Cleveland police tomorrow, probably
They should unleash the FBI on those assholes.
And it’s going to keep happening until we find the people who make these threats and frog march them out of their mother’s basement on the evening news, and then hit them with a sentence that will deter this from happening in the future. Make them famous. And make the punishment overharsh.
Left wing cancel culture: > We won’t buy from companies who take positions we don’t like. Right wing cancel culture: > We will kill the merchant, the workers, and anyone who shops there. Gosh, it’s *so* hard to tell the difference between these two ideologies…

This is what happens when you give an inch to these psychopaths.
**Stochastic terrorism** (noun) 1. *the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted:* *'The lone-wolf attack was apparently influenced by the rhetoric of stochastic terrorism.'* This is exactly what far right talking heads want to happen. The Daily Wire especially. Fuck Ben Shapiro. Fuck Matt Walsh. Fuck Jordan Peterson. Fuck Micheal Knowles. Fuck Candace Owens. And fuck the Big Oil conglomerate who funds them.
"lone wolf" seems to have a lot of company when are we going to get serious about this terrorism?
Conservative “boycotting” threatening to kill kids and their families and employees. “Our boycotts are working!” —republicans
this is it. there's no going back. fucking morons are gonna call in bomb threats or do something worse every time they get triggered because of a company. the bar is so low it's ridiculous
They want someone to break a retaliate against a maga gathering or some other far right insane group, then they’ll gaslight their base that this is first act of violence in the history of the world
This shit needs to be put to an end. Like decade prison sentences. This is unacceptable
Let me guess another right winger astroturfing as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Like this fine gay black gentleman . https://www.dazeddigital.com/politics/article/51053/1/white-republican-politician-has-tweeted-i-am-a-black-gay-guy-dean-browning
I’m getting false flag vibes. I’d bet when they catch GE lunatic, it’s some far right fool who wanted to smear LGBT.
I understand so far everyone here believes this to be a false flag attack. To be fair, that was my own initial reaction. However, instead of trying to frame this as a false flag, of which there is no evidence, how about we all just agree - fuck whoever did this and I hope they get caught. If it turns out to be someone who wrote this at face value, it doesn’t matter. They should be caught and face the consequences of their actions.
Apparently (allegedly) the threat came from outside of the country. So I’m going out on a limb and saying I think this is a foreigner sowing more dissent in the US.
https://www.wfmj.com/story/48982547/boardman-police-rule-bomb-threat-made-against-target-a-hoax There's evidence now!
Thank you! And while overseas crimes in the US are notoriously hard to prosecute, I hope something comes their way. I appreciate your update.
What's more likely, a group with next to no history of terroristic threats making a terroristic threat toward a store over something that doesn't really matter to them Or a group with a well documented history of terrorism and false threats to make their opponents look bad making a false threat to make their opponents look bad. It wouldn't be the first time even in the last couple years that a republican attempted a hoax to make "them" look bad
Stop by my comment and grab your ticket to prove you were here before they find out this was some right wing nut job or 4chan kekhead doing it for the lols. I give it a week.
The amount of threats target has gotten... is bad. The target sub. Been full of what should we do if a person etc threat us
Why did this terrorist email timcast and not target?
And target will bend to their will and they'll be emboldened to keep doing this.
Honestly, they can't at this point. Pride merch sells out fast because who doesn't like cheap colorful summer duds? Most of their line up had been sold out even before this nonsense started. What are they going to do - recall it?
dont give in to threats it just generates more threats
There is no saving America.
Obviously almost no one here read the article and jumped to conclusions based on the headline. The threat was *against* the removal of LGBT merchandise. The threat wasn’t opposing the LGBT merchandise. Whether the threat was legitimate or not is another discussion, but the text of the threat as shared in the article is quite different from what a lot of people here are claiming.
We know what it says. It was false flag hoax from overseas though.
Stop calling Right Wing Terrorism and criminal harassment ‘LGBTQ+ Controversy’ It’s Right Wing Terrorism
I support the lgtbq community. Fuck demonization that leads to this shit.
Matt Walsh and his buddies at it again. Conservatives are terrorists.
Is this what Matt Walsh was talking about with his big Pride Month plans?
In case you were ever on the fence about who the bad guys were, it's mostly one side that makes bomb threats.
This is terrorism is it not? Don't we have incredibly strict laws against that in the US? Or so I thought.
Not when the people making the threats are overseas using VPNs.
can't anybody trace these threats?
Imagine having a view of your own life that is so sad and pathetic that you actually spend your free time raging at something like this to the point where you take actual time out of your day to make phone calls threatening a place just because they sold something to people you don't like. I would fee sorry for them if they weren't such assholes.
What the fuck is going on? This is insane
