It appears that target thinks its ok to negotiate with terrorists

These people are the literal definition of terrorists and this store is capitulating to them. No store should alter what they were going to sell based on the dangerous and terroristic demands of these terrorists.

Hopefully the real American people will be sending them a message.

Bullies are gonna bully, terrorists gonna terrorize.

Look who the GOP has it’s representatives, what they say, vote and do.

The same mindset is at work willing to trash the stability of the US Dollar that’s been the world’s currency since at least the conclusion of WW2.

I don't believe Target capitulated. I believe they removed some of the products for the safety of their employees.

It's not targets fault some overly sensitive terrorists can't handle reality. If any employees are harmed, it's the fault of the terrorists, not target. Where does it end? Hint: it won't end, they will keep terrorizing target about other things thanks to the success of their first terrorism campaign. It's exactly why you don't negotiate with terrorists. You draw a hard line, do what you were going to do anyways and do everything in your power to make it socially unacceptable for these terrorists to terrorize. We the people need to stand with them when they make those choices. We the people also need to punish them for not being strong. Their displays should not be changed in response to these unamerican idiots.

Those people are such fucking sheep. Nothing highlights them being sheep more than garbage like this. That's what the free market is for. You don't like it? Don't shop there. If enough people think like you do and do the same, target wouldn't do stuff like this. If they do it anyways, it means you are the unamerican idiot that is out of touch with reality. But you are still free not to see it by not shopping there.

I agree with you on this, but I don't think it's fair to put the wage slaves busting their hump working retail in that kind of danger. Target, the corporation, has a responsibility to Target, the employees, to provide a safe working environment. I don't believe they can do that with their current campaign.

I don't disagree with you but they did what they had to do for the immediate safety of their employees. How they handle it moving forward will tell the whole story.

My solution is to let the “protestors” rant and video the whole exchange. Then follow them to the vehicle their driving and video them driving away.

Post it on a Terrorists at Target site for their friends, neighbors, employers and their families can enjoy their new found celebrity.

Most of these folks don’t want notoriety. They want to threaten and embarrass others and still be “private people”.

Doesn't target actually pay more than the average mega retailer?

I get it, keep your people safe, but what was the actual danger? These people are dangerous idiots to be sure but the danger is more about giving them credibility and poisoning society. If there's a dangerous individual the law enforcement should be involved to protect them. If something happens, it's always a risk of doing business in the public. Always. And it wouldn't be their fault if something does happen. The most you can do is train your security to stay vigilant and all your employees to avoid these morons at all costs.

Exactly.  That is a good defense.  What I said earlier is do everything in your power to make it socially unacceptable for them to behave in this terroristic manner.  Filming and promoting them personally seems like a great and easy way to do that. Put up your display with good camera coverage. I'm thinking multiple angles of their cave man behavior might be a pretty good deterrence

And we’ll see but I would bet that they have actually made things less safe for their employees by doing this. Capitulating to these people only makes it worse for you

They are reacting to the potential loss of business. Their concern for their workers is mostly about money too.

They’ve made that worse for themselves too. It doesn’t end here. It never does.

Can't pay your workers if you're out of business.

Target isn’t going out of business because a tiny but very vocal minority of the population can’t get over the fact that they are sexually attracted to trans people.

They didn’t pull the merch fearing loss in revenue.

Thanks Trump, you despicable pile of human excrement.

We were slowly headed down a path where the (now) vocal idiot small townies, the racists, and a plethora of other religious trash were slowly getting squeezed out, slowly made to keep their unamerican opinions to their selves....and then Trump hit reset on all of that.

The racist, bigoted christian sexual predator gave a sliver of christians not only permission, but cover, to be the worst possible versions of themselves they could be.

He and the mainstream media normalized them, amplified them and, for the first time in their pathetic lives, made them feel like they belonged to something bigger than themselves.

As all of us decent folks knew at the time, Hillary was being kind when she referred to them as "deplorables".

Update- in a shocking development, it did not help
