Multiple Kohl's in Wisconsin evacuated 'out of an abundance of caution,' police said

Multiple Kohl’s stores were evacuated in southeast Wisconsin after police received information of bomb threats on Friday.

Oak Creek police responded to a threat at Kohl’s on 9035 S Howell Ave. This store and other nearby businesses were evacuated for safety.

Police searched for explosives with K-9 units but did not find "physical evidence to substantiate there was a credible threat to public safety.”

News Chopper 12 flew over the store. Police presence, employees outside the store, and shopping carts blocking the entrance of the parking lot could be observed from the helicopter.

This is the hell that Trump and Fox News have wrought on us. When your protests involve threatening to blow things up and murder people, at that point, it is no longer about "protecting children". And also you also no longer peaceful protestors, you are straight up terrorists. It is way past time to start calling MAGA and its' enablers a terrorist group.

This is a battle for political power. Conservativism splits society into strict hierarchies, and, they don’t believe in people leaving “their place.”

You didn't think the fascists would just stop at the "gays", did you?

Target, Kohl's, Chick-Fil-a, Disney, Anheuser-Busch, etc... It's just a start fuckwads.

Oh, you don't want to pay a living wage, provide decent benefits, pay taxes, or be regulated, well the MAGAs have a whole different version of regulation.

Enjoy what you have wrought.

And I don't know why they're not going after the lies and slander more. If I were the CEO of Kohls or Target, I'd be suing the shit out of Fox News. And also going after Youtube and Apple for allowing this slander on their platforms.

here's a tip: DON'T BUY IT.

I have walked past many a display that held trump merch, never once thought to make a bomb threat to the store, or harass the employees or start throwing the stuff on the floor. These people need to get prosecuted for this infantile nonsense. In what other country could you walk in and start hurling accusations and obscenties at the staff, then pull a stunt like throwing displays items on the floor ? And making a bomb threat is illegal. Time to start charging these people for this childish and obnoxious behavior.

This country has allowed the tyranny of the minority for too long.

ENOUGH ALREADY.
