WATCH: Black Lives Matter protesters shut down two Walmart locations in Arkansas
WPXI ^ | July 5, 2020

SHERWOOD, Ark. — Protesters supporting the Black Lives Matter movement blocked the entrances and exits of two Arkansas Walmart locations Sunday afternoon, forcing the stores to close.

Dozens of demonstrators, chanting “Black lives matter,” “Defund the police” and “Defund Walmart,” marched in front of Walmart locations in Jacksonville and Sherwood, KARK reported.

A few protesters at each site carried signs that read, “Walmart is destroying public education,” among other messages.

The retail giant is based in Bentonville, Arkansas, but it was not immediately clear if proximity to the corporate headquarters had any bearing on Sunday’s protests.

According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, an employee at the Jacksonville location said the store was shut down due to the protests around 1:30 p.m., and the protesters moved about 10 minutes later to the Sherwood Supercenter. That store was then closed shortly before 3 p.m., after the remaining shoppers left, and protesters remained outside until about 3:15 p.m., when they headed south.

Blocking public roadways is not protesting, it is committing a crime.

The fact that elected officials and LE are too cowardly to stop it does not change that fact.

Walmart dropped all loves mater shirts and kept the black lives matter shirts.

They also stated they are going to start unlocking cabinets that used to hold beauty supplies that tended to be the most stolen (this impacted all women, but whatever).

How long before Walmart is forced to remove security scanners at the doors because they are racist?

You might be contributing to the $100 million Walmart is giving to build a new center for racial equality and criminal justice, the key way the company is pandering to the rioters who are destroying their stores (along with calling our nation “unjust” and pushing other left-wing talking points).

While many folks may echo your sentiments, recording it on the endless WWW for posterity and the prosecutor may not be the wisest expression of free speech.

Not likely in my home town, almost all of the scumbags are already guests of the state.

So what is the way to get these people to leave? Might be funny to have some kind of free give away decoy thing going on down the street.

"Defund Walmart"

Aside from the inanity of that sentiment, it should tell the woke executives of Walmart that appeasement to the mob won't work. But they won't get it.

Yeah, so much for getting rid of the All Lives Matter merchandise. Funny how when you grovel to an extortionist, he just demands more.

#8: "Gotta ask the question: where were the police?"

If anything all these BLM protests show how castrated and ineffectual the police are, not just in isolated locations, but everywhere. Our police have spent too many years sitting around Dunkin' Donuts instead of policing.

And Walmart spends millions and yanks merchandise to try and please these people. There should be a lesson there.
