‘Active shooter’ at Target was man protesting bathroom policy
When you know that trans people are able to use bathrooms in a store based on the gender with which they identify, the logical thing to do is grab your gun and go over there.

Once there, they found 39-year-old protester Michael Merichko, but no injuries or any evidence of a shooting. From NBC News:
Merichko was allegedly protesting Target Corporation’s newly announced policy on letting transgender people use the bathroom that conforms to their identity. Police said his actions caused “panic among store employees and customers.”
“Investigators have determined that Merichko made no threats of shooting anyone in the store,” said a police spokesperson in a statement. “We are still looking into how the call came out as an active shooter.”

Cuz he’s white, and he didn’t have a toy gun.

That’s right, 2nd Amendment only applies to whites, any black carrying a gun, or anything that vaguely resembles a gun, is a criminal who must be shot, immediately (12 seconds or less).

Because he didn’t have a weapon, and he surrendered peacefully to law enforcement.

He did not have a weapon. Watch the news report from the following report from the Chicago Tribune.

Exactly.

How is this an “active shooter” incident. In all the reports I have read the police have stated “no shots were fired” and no weapon was found. Looks like the police are curious as to why it was called in as an active shooter incident. The individual was arrested for disturbing the peace because of how he acted inside of Target.

Perhaps the person who called 911 just figured he was a right wing lunatic and they always bring their metal manhood with them.

Does this guy not have a job? Who in their right mind would go armed to a Target to threaten people who use the bathroom? If he had a job, he no longer does.

He was afraid someone would see his teeny little penis.
