Bomb goes off in ladies’ room during Target transgender boycott

Bomb goes off in ladies’ room during Target transgender boycott

The American Family Association has been tenaciously carrying forth a high-profile (and tedious) Target boycott over the chain’s trans-inclusive bathroom policy.

WGNTV reports that, on Wednesday afternoon, the boycott took a turn towards the terroristic: a small bomb went off in the ladies’ room of a Target department store in Evanston, Illinois.

Fortunately, nobody was hurt.

According to the news report:

 [The bomb] caused minor damage and no one was injured. Early indications are that a plastic bottle was used but no projectiles like nails or tacks were inside it. Investigators are gathering evidence including examining store security camera video.”

The AFA claims it’s caused $10 billion in damages to Target, although the company maintains sales losses have been negligible.
