Wal-Mart, Black Lives Matter T-Shirts and anti-gun rhetoric

[Browning]

The accusation here is that Wal-Mart is the leeches and collecting working class dollars.

"Protecting the coastal elite"? Wal-Mart? Big Box stores protect the elite? Is it just the Coastal Elite? They are based in Arkansas maybe they protect an elite or two there.

I'm betting by Coastal Elite that he meant men like George Soros who are funding all these fun and games.

As far as Walmart goes though they destroy small American home grown businesses by being able to sell cheap Chinese products that they get for prices that the small businesses can't compete with and BLM does their part in the culture war by doing their best to intimidate all those who disagree with them using tactics that the radical left has used for years.

Is BLM a racist hate organization? I don't think so.

Really? Hmm.... I'll just leave this here. Make sure to turn the volume up. Don't let the screaming and begging bother you.



Not an isolated case either.

First cuz they are hardly an organization, ...

Organized enough to pull off protests that turn into riots in most of the major cites of America.

... second the leaders of the movement have spoken out against the shooting of police and denounced it as harmful to their fight. They are liberal and some among them spout nonsense.

Ahhh, I see. So spouting violent rhetoric against both the police and Whites in general is acceptable, but then when someone actually acts on it violently then they give some weak statement stating that they don't support it.

Good tactic. They get the violence that they wanted and aren't held accountable.

It's too bad many of them are committing both illegal as well as violent acts on behalf of BLM.

Don't take my word for it, the videos are up for all to see.

Linking to a video of a right wing version of Michael Moore don't pass the smell test.

Casting it in that light doesn't magically dispel its content either.

It is amazing. Because Walmart is located in Arkansas they are conservatives? Is my memory failing? They elected the most liberal left wing anti gun President in History. Bill Clinton was supported by Arkansas during his Presidency.
Walmart gave 49% of their PAC donations to Obama. A cult following for a China Mart?

 

[Dog Soldier]

Would you direct me to a Walmart that will order a handgun. My family lives in Texas. I will have my Grandson check it out. Which Walmart in Texas will order an AR 15? Send me the location of these stores? The China Mart Cult is dedicated. Hillary Clinton was on their Board of Directors and they buy from Communist China. Wow! a real American company.

Nobody's killed "mom and pop" businesses like "mom and pop" themselves.

Price gouge, treat your customers like crap, and engage in sleazy business practices and then play the victim as petulantly as any social justice warrior and see what it gets you.

What it WON'T get you is any of my money.

That might be in your area. Here we are very lucky with local business and farmers.
I have a LGS close by that I can get matched almost any deal I find online.
Specially if I buy bulk I can get discounts nobody can find online or in the large stores.
They call me when they have deals coming in. They reserve stuff for me w/o any down payments. Even stuff they think I might like. Same treatment to anyone in the gun club or clays club.
They actually know my name and my friends. My son got a college job with another local family owned restaurant close by and gave them good pay and all sort of flexibility to adapt
to classes. This just because we have been loyal customers for many years.
I am happy to say our community support each other with a few exceptions, of course, we have Walmarts in the mall and all that garbage.

America was built by the small business and entrepreneur. Never forget that. This is a fact well recorded in the economy books whether one likes it or not.

Since the big corp, wall street and the bubble system took over that middle class has been suffering the most. They call it the gap that is getting larger every day.

for those who like documentaries this is an interesting dossier. I don't agree with everything that we got to this system against the will of the population and more because of the well orchestrated system of disinformation shielding the harsh reality.

 

[Old Dog]

Yes, exactly.

Glad you see it my way.

I'm obviously kidding and cutting short your sentence in fun, but those who adhere to completely restraining rules of conduct when fighting an enemy who adheres to none are unnecessarily handcuffing themselves.

You do it your way and I'll do it mine.

Guess this is why so many "gun rights activists" come across as looking like total assclowns mostly. There's nothing wrong with civilized debate, usage of logic and reason, avoidance of hyperbole and hysterics ... It's not "unnecessarily handcuffing" ourselves. And the 1st Amendment applies to everybody, just as we desire the 2nd Amendment to be applied ...

This forum is reaching a new low in Wal-Mart bashing, too. But, I've gotta admit: I've never seen a thread where Wal-Mart, the BLM movement AND the FOP are all being equally bashed in equal numbers ...

And Wal-Mart is responsible for collecting the "working class" AND protecting the "coastal elites?" Sheesh. In my area, the Wal-Marts represent some of the few places the working class can actually afford to shop. And as for the "mom and pop" businesses getting shut down because a Wal-Mart moved to down, that results only because the small business owner cannot adapt. There's plenty of towns where small businesses and Wal-Marts coexist and both make money.

Kind of funny how that works.

Gun owners respect the rights of BLM to engage in free speech (that just happens to be extremely violent ... I.E. : 'Pigs in a blanket, fry em like bacon' when screaming at the police and the always popular 'Kill all Whites') while in contrast they do not respect our First Amendment rights. They slander those who disagree with them as 'racists' (ironies upon ironies), they stalk them, try to get them fired from their jobs and sometimes assault them.

So not only do they have the cooperation of the media as their lapdogs, but they can mob up and create mayhem at will while politicians are too afraid to make them pay for such behavior. Then on top of it they can make the political opposition afraid of not only being assaulted and possibly killed, but afraid of losing their job as well over a label that isn't true (when they're the ones engaging in racist and violent behavior). Wow.

I'm less concerned with looking like an assclown than apathetic or a coward though. Personal priorities and all. Someone who tries to do something will almost always get made sport of by a segment in society who never had the guts or drive to try at all. They'd rather do nothing.

For me the main topic is the Black Lives Matter t-shirt that just so happens to be available there.

Apply pressure and try to get it removed. If not, shop elsewhere.

While I may not personally think much of Walmart, they're just a store. They'd sell noose's meant for hanging Walmart executives if there was money in it.

(A little paraphrasing of Marx there for you, with that bunch it kinda fits)

More like those small towns were tough to make a buck in and for small businesses to stay afloat as most of the industry has moved off to somewhere where the labor is cheaper (Mexico, India, Vietnam and China) and even tougher once Walmart moved in, but I'll just agree to disagree. Don't care about it that much as a topic. Either people shop there or they don't. :Shrug

I posted this review of the "Bulletproof" Black Lives Matter hoodie. Sadly, the product was discontinued shortly after my submission so it never made it to the website.

"I bought this hoodie because it says "bulletproof" on the front. However, I was at one of my domestic terror rallies (Black Lives Matter) and I was made aware of a serious issue. I had just looted a liquor store and was finishing off the last bit of a bottle of stolen whiskey when i had an idea. I figured I'd use the last few swigs to make a molotov cocktail to throw at the police.

I used a shirt I looted from another local business to create the wick, and when I reared back my arm to throw the bomb, a police officer shot me. The "bulletproof" hoodie didn't even begin stopping the 9mm hollow point round. Technically speaking, since I was in the act to throwing, I did have my hands up...one of them at least...but they still shot me. So typical.

Shame on you Walmart for both selling merchandise that advertises a domestic terror organization like Black Lives Matters, AND for claiming something is bulletproof when it is so obviously not. "

Well, I have to say that my experiences in dealing with members of the BLM movement isn't close to what you describe. As a member of the law enforcement community, I've seen firsthand conflict between the minority communities in my region and local law enforcement. Lately, it seems that both sides have been dealing with each other in a more mature manner than what you seem to be describing. And the BLM folks seem well aware that 1st Amendment rights cover all the races and even ... cops. As far as media coverage, I've not seen the media cooperating with the BLM folks as "their lapdogs ... Browning, your profile locates you in the DFW area -- you must have been out of town in the aftermath of the cop killings and missed all the media hoopla (judging by your comments).

Who the freak cares if Wal-Mart sells tee-shirts with any BLM stuff on 'em?

I'm more concerned about how the people involved in the RKBA movement represent themselves than what is currently being sold in the clothing section of my local Wal-Mart (which, by the way, did sell Colt and Windham ARs for quite a while). And apparently, unlike many of the alleged 2A advocates on this forum, I also believe in the 1A.

 

[Browning]

Nope, not out of town when all of that popped off. Must be different down here that wherever you're at.

You talking about the same media that creates fact from fiction?

 

[Old Dog]

Well, I was referring to the national news media that depicted all the people of differing races in the greater DFW area coming together to grieve for the murdered police officers. Are you telling me that was actually fiction created by the media?

 

[Dog Soldier]

It is amazing how gun owners stand up for the obvious. Walmart has diverted millions to the left. They met with Obama to agree on gun control issues. HRC was a secret board member and was heavy supported by the Walmart owners. But Hey! They will sell you a cheap pair of Chinese jeans.

[Old Dog]

Gosh, but my local Wal-Mart still sells a heckuva lot of American-made firearms and ammunition. And I only buy jeans that are made in Vietnam or Bangladesh ...

For the most part, yes. Down here the reactions to the murders of the Dallas PD were more split along age and racial lines.

The media today sells stories. They have an axe to grind both politically and socially and it showed during the elections.

Pretty funny that they they were so sure that they were correct and their arrogance blew up in their face.

They do what they always do, they interview people and then cherry pick the interviews they want for the story they'd like to tell. The days of the dogged impartial reporter chasing down the facts regardless of their political and social alliances is pretty much a thing of the past.

This was hardly on topic to begin with and has since wandered far away from anything THR related. We are finished with this round.
