On Friday, many different Target locations received bomb threats for the company's decision to remove the ‘Pride’ line from the front displays. The tip stated that the retail giant had “turned their back on the LGBTQ community” causing the assailant to place the bombs in four separate locations across the United States.
The caller sent the tip in just after 12:30 p.m. according to the release. The threat was leveled against four different Target locations throughout Utah and Ohio. The bombing threat caused the Jackson Township police department, the Jackson Fire Department, the Canton Police Department K9s, and the Stark County Sheriff’s Office to clear the building to inspect for bombs, per Fox 8.
In a leaked image of the email that was shared by Cleveland 19, another terrorist threatened bombings at five different Target locations in Ohio. The email stated, “Target is full of f**king cowards who turned their back on the LGBT community and decided to cater to the transphobic right-wing redneck bigots who protested and vandalized their store. We won’t stand idly by as the far right continue to hunt us down. We are sending you a message, we placed a bomb in the following targets,” then listing five locations.
The email finished with, “We will continue to bomb your targets until you stop cowering and bring back your LGBT merchandise. We will not be erased, we won’t go quietly.”
Many on social media were quick to label the threats as extremist right-wingers angry at the stores for featuring the ‘Pride’ line, but it would seem the reality is the exact opposite of that. One Twitter user wrote, “Are people really calling in bomb threats to target because they're scared they might get brainwashed into sucking d**k at the sight of a [rainbow] shirt?”
Another Twitter user wrote, “Homophobic lunatics are now calling in bomb threats to Target because they got triggered by a rainbow. Again, please explain to me how threatening death over a T-shirt is better than letting people just live their lives to love each other. #ProudAlly #Pride2023 #TargetPride.”Are people really calling in bomb threats to target because they're scared they might get brainwashed into sucking dick at the sight of a 🌈 shirt?

It’s funny to see the people wailing on the right for being violent and supposedly making the bomb threats become completely silent upon the news it was members of the LGBTQ community making the threats. Some have even jumped through the mental hoops of defending the bomb threats as a justifiable reaction to Target pulling the LGBTQ merchandise. The left will attempt to blame everything on the right regardless of who is actually responsible. Regardless, the threat of violence over political matters should never be tolerated.Homophobic lunatics are now calling in bomb threats to Target because they got triggered by a rainbow
