Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.
Lopez accomplishing nothing but interfering with a business, it’s customers , its employees. The Target workers are getting up every day, showing up for their co workers and customers. Earning and contributing, paying taxes and doing it again tomorrow. Having to endure the Islamic / Marxist leftists is not in the job description.
Freedom Fighters ? More like trespassers
What does See, See puede mean?
Ah, the peaceful left. Bully and terrorize Americans who don’t agree with them. Violence encouraged by IL elected officials. Freedom of speech only allowed if you agree with them; otherwise you will be persecuted.
THANK YOU to the CPD.
The shame of it is, these idiots affect a lot of innocent uninvolved bystanders. Shop at Target, you may get targeted. The air marshals attacked in CA because the mob thought they were ICE. Stay at the wrong hotel where they think ICE is staying and they’ll make your stay miserable. Problem is, their attacks can be based on wrong info, rumors, and internet trolls. Then, you’re just collateral damage, wrong place wrong time.
It would appear, projection to the contrary notwithstanding, that they are attempting to normalize the state of terror in which selected persons from other countries may act illegally and with impunity and take resources from American citizens.
I think it’s legal to boycott target, but I don’t think protesting them on their property is.
Nice job. Wanna catch fish, go to a fishing hole.
Take them down to the North Branch and throw them in!!
