Amazon Stops Deliveries in Some Cities

Amazon (AMZN) has reportedly stopped delivering packages in select areas, where a number of violent protests have erupted over the death of George Floyd – a black man that was arrested and pinned to the ground by a white police officer that knelt on his neck.

Protests in support of Floyd have erupted across the nation, causing retailers such as Target, Apple, and Whole Foods to close their doors as looters ransacked their stores. Video footage captured a series of Target stores in Minneapolis being targeted by looters while other retailers have contended with damage to their storefronts.

Amazon notified its drivers on Saturday in cities such as Minneapolis, Seattle, Los Angeles, Nashville, and Miami, telling them, “If you are currently out delivering packages, stop immediately and return home. “

All democRAT controlled, I’ll bet.

If you look at the rioting you can see that these people were constantly on their phones, taking pictures, talking, typing texts, etc. I would hope that some clever law enforcement people (certainly in DC) are working to correlate cell phone location data with the rioting locations and thus have a nice neat record of who was where so retribution can come. Even if it’s just doxxing these scum.

Watch the Left start bitching about this or "food deserts." Never understanding that their policies created this crap.

NO FEDERAL AID OR STIMULUS TO ANY OF THESE CITIES

They know something is up. Antifa via twitter said white neighborhoods are going to be next.

With Covid-19 the only way many people could get food and supplies was with amazon and now that’s denied.

But we must support the rioters or ur a raciss.

All of this.. the virus lockdowns and the riots is orchestrated and we are being herded as sheep.

[Persevero]

I mean we are locked down, few stores open, then curfew, and now no deliveries.

Alrighty then

[Skywise]

They’ve already announced protests in the suburbs of Indianapolis now and the donut counties.

“BLM March today - it’s all peaceful!”

BS

This is why I have my Amazon purchases sent to an Amazon locker located in a safe location.

Sounds like profiling by American businesses.

Also notice a movement in the Truck Driver community to stop delivering to protest cities also. post from Facebook.

"DEAR AMERICA, WE ARE SERIOUS...

THE AMERICAN TRUCKER will not be held hostage, threatened, robbed, or killed. We will not be a victim. We will not be this generation's version of Reginald Denny. Every driver knows that name. Do you?

We will defend ourselves everytime, up to and including, using our 80,000lb trucks and it's 1,800 foot-pounds of torque to run you over.

Cities where looting, rioting, and stopping trucks is happening.... You are hearby put on notice.

Threaten, delay, attempt to stop a truck, we... The American trucker will consider that act as an attack on our lives. We will defend ourselves, our equipment, and our load.

Food, medicine, hospital supplies, gasoline, and a million other daily items we deliver to your cities ARE A-POLITICAL. Everyone needs them, including your dumbass. We don't "need" to come to your lawless city. YOU NEED us to deliver your food and supplies to your city.

We drivers have social media too. If your city becomes too chaotic and violent. Becomes too unsafe for us... Word will spread very quickly amongst the 3.5 million truckers. We will stop delivering to your city. Period. No driver will travel into a city that reminds us of scenes from a "Mad Max" movie.

Threaten an American truck driver while he's working and it will take you, and your city, down a path where YOU WILL LOSE.

Take a moment and seriously think: Do you really want to risk your doctor NOT having the supplies he needs to save you while in surgery? Do you really want to stop the medicines keeping your kids and parents alive?

Keep your silly shit off the US Interstate and US highway system. Congregating in the roadway will only get you run over. Having people standing and blocking the highway is a threat to our physical safety and we will respond appropriately to your attack. Standing in the roadway is NOT a protest. It is an attack on our safety. Air horns will sound, steering wheels will be held tightly, but those brakes will not be touched. You will move, or you will die. 80,000 pounds at 70mph will win every time. STAY OUT OF THE ROADWAY.

In closing: DONT FUCK WITH THE AMERICAN TRUCKER!"

The kid who has been identified as the ringleader of violence in Pittsburgh is an Amazon employee.

I'm not sure if the protest/riots want to go through middle class neighborhood. The reception could be very unpleasant with a lot of "brass and 'pop' music." 😏

[petitfour]

They’re just peaceful protesters.

Hope the folks in those cities are stocked up on toelet paper.

“I’m not sure if the protest/riots want to go through middle class neighborhood. “

I will stand my ground to protect my family, dog and home.

I also noticed that rediculous leftist term in the past..........”Food deserts”. First heard National PINKO Radio (NPR) use that term years ago.

[US_MilitaryRules]

And one tried to run through a crowd and chickened out. Then got beat up and will probably be arrested for threatening the crowd blocking the freeway.

[chrisser]

Does this mean they’ll stop dragging their feet on shipping products to the rest of us, since they’ll presumably have more time available?

I’m tired of paying for Prime with 2 day delivery and Amazon arbitrarily deciding it can stretch that to a week, sometimes more because muh pandemic or something.

Sounds like profiling by American businesses.
