To your last sentence, wouldn’t that be a big inconvenience? What if I was NEKKED, trying on clothes, or in the bathroom doing....bathroom things? I’d have to quickly get dressed or race out of the bathroom because MACY’s is playing along with this over-the-top narrative or insulting implication that whites lives don’t matter?
This guy didn’t deserve to die, but making him out to be the second coming of MLK is ridiculous. He was a common thief, an ex-con, and a deadbeat dad whose kid didn’t even recognize him.
You just summed up about 3/4 of all the people that die in police custody that are held up by the left as hero's. You would think they'd save their outrage for someone that doesn't have a rap sheet a mile long and is a productive member of society, but what would be the fun in that?
Your reading comprehension fails you. It was the OP that compared Floyd to a president. Try again.
The doors absolutely should not have been locked. That's a fire hazard on a good day.
Maybe someone missed their bus or train, but another will be along in 10 minutes (that's the beauty of MTA, isn't it?).
So I don't disagree with it being a bad decision, Rachel, but in the long run - or even the short run - who did it hurt?
It hurts the people who are serious in saying reform is needed because the constant barrage of this kind of thing is so extreme we're tired of hearing about it and have stopped caring.
get used to it... Floyd is not a hero but his death is when the clock struck 12 and a new day arrived.. things are going to change,,, go with the flow or get left behind .
Not if enough people push back against this nonsense.

The problem is, the leftists needed someone to use as a “sign” of police killing innocent unarmed black men (even though the stats don’t bear it out), and they didn’t have time to wait until a cop killed a black man who didn’t have a criminal record. (Last year, only 9 unarmed black men were killed by cops, so it’s pretty infrequent. If they waited until a “clean” black guy was killed, it might have been too late for the election.)

”We are in the middle of a nine-minute silence to honor the life of George Floyd, and the lives of all black people. The doors will open upon completion.”
We don’t have this level of homage for a United States President! Stop elevating this guy as if he were a saint. It’s ridiculous.
P.S. What about the lives of white people? Eh.
OMG! I'm glad that Macy's is closing their store in downtown Seattle. They never belonged there, in the space that used to be Seattle's iconic Bon Marche. Anyone of an age that grew up in Seattle hated it when The Bon became Macy's.
That's INSANE virtue signaling! They functionally kidnapped those people for nine minutes! Disgusting! I'll be buying my bedding, which is the only shopping I've done there in years, elsewhere, and I'll let them know exactly why.
