Years ago, (usually after a Walmart trip) I stated that I'd never set foot in a Walmart again if Target started selling ammo. The stores were cleaner, the customers were cleaner, and many departments (e.g. home furnishings) seemed higher quality.

Then, Target decided to sell vibrators in the regular aisles (not behind the pharma counter) so myself and many Christians boycotted. Therefore, many Christian's money had already gone elsewhere several years before they started their wild-west bathroom policy.

Say what?!?!

I've been in countless big box retail stores, and granted I have never sought them out, but I never would have thought sex toys would be among their offerings.

Mind me asking what isle? Wink

Edited to add: Just looked on their website. 3 pages worth. You learn something new every day.

I wonder how many other undocumented incidents there have been.

Woman reports indecent exposure in Target dressing room

by: Stephanie Tinoco Updated: Oct 4, 2017 - 8:50 PM

MATTHEWS, N.C. - A woman, who wishes to remain unidentified, said a man sporting a baseball hat and holding a six-pack of beer exposed himself to her in a unisex Target dressing room on Wednesday.

“When I came out, I noticed something to my left in the handicap dressing room, so I looked over and the door is standing wide open and this man is in there exposing himself," the woman said.

She said the man was staring in her direction, not uttering a word.

“I was just like, ‘I’ve got to get out of here,’ and took off running because I was like, ‘Does he have a weapon?’” the woman said.

She immediately told a Target employee and watched the man leave, but claims police were never called.

Officials from the Matthews Police Department told Channel 9 that there was no call for service to the Target where the incident took place.

Eyewitness News reporter Stephanie Tinoco will have a report on the incident on Channel 9 starting at 10 p.m.

And they never called the cops when a customer says someone is exposing himself in there?

To date I have still not seen a cross dresser in Target, but I have seen several (including employees) in Walmart.

The difference is numbers. There are far more conservative and/or traditional Americans that were shopping Target than there are wild-eyed Libs eating Chik-filet.

What's wrong with worrying about our women and children peeing with whoever wants to be in there? How hard is this to figure out? And all this for .003% of the population that Johns Hopkins rates as mentally ill.

Equating the two was a huge mistake on Target's part. And yet they still do not apprehend the danger of pop-culture forced out the media anus. It is recognized for what it is and it still stinks.

Oh they really miscalculated. I know a few friends who are not very political and even one that leans left and all of them were FURIOUS over Target's bathroom policy and stopped shopping there.

All of these acid heads. Target, the NFL, all of the dancing clown celebrities. They all have to take a stand. They all have to LET US KNOW THEIR OPINION on hot button lefty issues. And they keep shooting themselves in the feet. And they still aren't getting it. Sell me a product. Entertain me. Quit showing the world how lefty social conscious you are. Much like socialism, you keep trying it, and it keeps failing.

Local police are looking for another pervert who said lewd comments to two young girl in Target. Then he went to one of the young girls mom and said lewd comments to her about what he wanted to do to her daughter. And he expose himself to another young girl outside the store 2 miles away. I guess these Perverts feel right at home in Target now......

Grapevine police are warning parents about a predator who has approached at least three children this week.

Police say a man who exposed himself to a 9-year old girl Tuesday has a similar description to a man who made lewd comments to girls at a Target.

Police say a dark grey or silver sedan drove up to next to the girl and a heavyset man between 30 and 40 years old exposed himself to her a few blocks from Dove Elementary on Thursday afternoon.


“It serves as another wake-up call about how sick people can be and what's out there,” said parent Linda Machi.

Parents of kids who go to Dove Elementary got an email about a man who pulled up to the young girl as she walked along the sidewalk on Laguna Vista Way and exposed himself to her. It's only a few blocks from the school. She was on the phone with her mom, who told her to run.

"It's terrifying,” said parent Katy Biver-Newcomb. “And I think it's really important that we make sure we are doing a good job as far as letting our kids know what to do if they're in that kind of situation."

Police believe the same man was inside the Target on Ira E Woods and Highway 114 on Sunday. Investigators say he walked up to a 9-year-old girl and said lewd things to her about touching her. He then later walked up to a mother with her 11-year-old daughter and made comments to the mom about doing sexual things to her daughter.

"We're looking for two suspects, but we are also looking at the possibility that this is the same suspect doing both of these cases,” explained Grapevine PD Spokesperson Amanda McNew.

Both locations are only two and a half miles apart.

Clearly. Target's bathroom's policies are responsible for perverts gathering there. Just curious, what does a bathroom policy for transgenders have to do with a regular old pervert?

Anyways, I always hate to interject factual reality into runaway fantasies, but these perverts are all over the place. They existed before Target was founded, before Target's bathroom policies, and will exist long after Target is gone. You'll find them at Walmart, the local park, churches, schools, zoos, water parks, and probably even living nearby in your own neighborhood.

Got to watch your kids. Bathroom policies have nothing to do with anything. Just like gun laws don't prevent shootings, store policies don't prevent perverts.

Take this for example. At a Chick Fil A of all places!

quote:
BELMONT, N.C.
A former Chick-fil-A employee put a camera in the men’s restroom at a North Carolina location of the fast-food restaurant and recorded a juvenile using the facility, police said.

Cameron Shawn Franklin, 27, of Alexis, North Carolina, was booked into Gaston County Jail under a $150,000 bond on several charges, including a secret peeping offense. Police allege that in July, Franklin recorded a juvenile urinating in the men’s restroom of a Chick-fil-A in Belmont.

Police discovered the existence of a camera when they seized his laptop for an investigation related to the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Gaston County Police Sgt. Josh Hamlin said.

Police said they suspected Franklin of downloading suspicious images after receiving a cyber tip through the task force.

Police reported finding a video on Franklin’s laptop of an unknown juvenile urinating. An officer recognized the bathroom as Chick-fil-A’s because he had eaten there before, Hamlin said.

Franklin no longer works at the restaurant, according to Natasha Gilbert, franchisee of the Belmont Chick-fil-A.

“We are aware of the allegations and the team member is no longer employed at our restaurant,” Gilbert wrote in an email. “Any further questions will need to be addressed by local law enforcement.”

Franklin also faces two felony charges for the third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. According to warrants, two images were found on Franklin’s laptop that showed the images of two unidentified boys, approximately 11 and 10 years old, nude and exposing their private parts.

This woman has a really weird thought process (or lack thereof). He is a doodle-dasher, so he might have a weapon? What? Where is the connection between waving his unit around, and having weapons?

It's a traumatic experience. Women generally are a lot more vulnerable than men. I don't blame her for fearing for her life.



And, yes, perverts are everywhere. It's just that Target (as many of us predicted) just made it a LOT easier for them to victimize women/girls.

I don't mean to derail the thread and I don't mean to pick a fight. But I'm curious. Is the Christians' object to vibrators (a) that a woman shouldn't get physical pleasure except when she's with a man, (b) that kids who are with their parents in the store shouldn't be exposed to the concept of sex, or (c) something else?

A couple of questions for you:
Are you married?

Do you have children?

Are you a believer in answering your children's questions honestly?

A couple of questions for you:
Are you married? No.

Do you have children? No, unless you count two of an ex-GF's daughters that pretty much see me that way. Then again, they're both in their mid-20's now.

Are you a believer in answering your children's questions honestly? Yes, however see the previous answer.

Sounds like (b). Big Grin
