This has been posted twice and I’m going to repeat it: Snopes is Leftwing.

Even going with the Snopes story still doesn't justify the suit.

There is no doubt that the leftists publish false stories to push agendas and sway public opinion but also to get the right in an uproar then make fun if them later when it's revealed to be false. You see the leftists have too much time on their hands because they're not working and living off of mommy and daddy's dime posting from their basements.

Snopes investigated this...

I put no credence whatsoever into anything that the liberal dipsquats at Snopes says about anything.

They lie, obfuscate and advocate...their agenda is specifically liberal and they barely try to hide it anymore.

So...Snopes...fail.

If target shoppers are this mad over the bathroom issue, voters would also be mad over Obama enacting the policy.

I think he finally went too far. Even liberals don’t want their children in bathrooms with deranged people.

It would seem to me that Walls is the one “endangering” customers here, not Turner. Turner is trying to stop the endangering.

Are we living in a Camus novel?

Target has been declining since the 1950s. The founder of Dayton Hudsons Store was a member of Westminister Presbyterian Church in Downtown Minneapolis. His son took over for a time than a grandson and Cousins decide to move from the conservative roots to liberal values. Target has been sued in the past by NAACP. It also has been sued by the the Federal Government for problems with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

keep this in mind - Minnesota is known for its progressive idealogy. It is known for inclusive ideology. Minnesota has the biggest program for the developmentally disabled.

I am not making allowances for Target, just tracing the downward development of a business.

The failure of Target’s business will be a B-School case in several years. Our final exam in B-School was an analysis of Playboy Enterprises c. 1970. It was fun. The Target case will be even more fun.

I Googled the news from May, 2013. It’s all still there.
Snopes isn’t actually lying, just telling the part of the story that makes Target look good.

The homeless man, named Walls, knifed a guy down the street, then ran into Target. The victims friends first CALLED THE POLICE, then followed him in, Walls pulled the knife on one of them, chasing him around the store while trying to stab him, then grabbed the girl.
They tried to talk him down, but he started to stab the girl so they THEN picked up the bat and stopped him.
By then the police had arrived and joined the battle with pepper gas. One cop was also hurt by the perp.

Would be nice to be called to jury duty on any counter suit against Target. I’d like to see the name changed from Target to Turner

Gift cards are already counted as revenue at the time it is acquired so you didn’t add to their bottom line.

Women who allow their daughters in Target bathrooms and dressing rooms should be investigated for child abuse.

I have also noticed the Trump Effect. People are starting to seriously and in an organized manner question and act upon some of the idiotic things the PC/liberal crowd have been getting away with from years. The Toilet Crisis of 2016 might be their Waterloo (so to speak).

And the liberals are genuinely scared.

Yes, I know. Retailers love gift cards because people often don’t spend them. We got this particular gift card last Dec and it had just sat in the drawer. If we didn’t spend it, then it would just be pure profit for Target.

To paraphrase a liberal hero:

Target: Unsafe at Any Place

Or tweak that one a bit for a complete slogan:

Want to be a target? Go to Target!
Unsafe at Any Place

Snopes is notoriously left-wing when determining truth from fiction.

Will do our own research to verify a story.Snopes attack on FrontPage shows how incompetent it is
