Small Bomb Explodes Target Bathroom as Company Faces Criticism for Transgender Policy
A small bomb exploded in the women`s bathroom at a Target store in Evanston on Wednesday, and officials are investigating whether it`s connected to the company`s policy allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice.
woman has been taken into custody Thursday as a person of interest after a small bomb exploded in the bathroom of a Target store the day before, police said.
No charges have been filed against the 44-year-old woman, police said in a news release.
"The detectives are not currently looking for any known additional suspects, and (at) this point there is no indication that the incident is related to any policies that the Target store has in place," the release reads.
Evanston police requested the help of the Cook County bomb squad late Wednesday afternoon after an explosion in a Target store restroom possibly set off by a small bomb, police said.

The damage was limited to a stall in the women's restroom, police said in a news release later Wednesday evening. Dugan said no threats were reported before the incident.
The source of the explosion may have been a plastic bottle, which investigators found in the stall, according to the release.
The store remained open after the incident, Dugan said.

So your defence against the (btw ridiculous) claim that "trans are mentally ill" is to accuse christians of being "mentally il" and automatically assume that they are responsible for the bomb?
Why can't both sides just take a breather for a second, and think this through instead of throwing wild accusations?

The fact that they felt the need to say anything about transgender people when introducing this policy tells me this is part of either a divide and conquer or social engineering program.
If they just had of said were introducing SECURE unisex bathrooms and toilets it would have been fine but the fact they felt the need to highlight the trans thing just makes me sick and angry.
I personally dony care about anyones sex life, i dont need to know. Ive met a few ladyboys in Asia and as a courtesy i called them she or her but when any tiny minority thinks the majority should adapt for them it really Really pisses me off

Whether someone agrees or disagrees with targets decicion pn the transgender bathroom issue regarding safety. How does making the bathroom even less "safe" by blowing up a bomb in it proce any damned point? It doesnt. Its just psychotic insane behaviour by an individual even more dangerous (in this case indiscriminately lethal to anybody in the bathroom regardless of their degree of gender fluidity ) than the "dangerous transgenders"

Yes I am mentally ill because I have a problem with mentally ill men just walking into the bathroom my daughter is in....
Stop your retarded social engineering aimed at making every mentally ill minority more equal than everyone else and I bet none of this happens.
Oh and shocker, I'm not a righty or religious.
ETA-i think it probably more likely it is one of their investors that lost 1/5 of their stock value since April because of this insanity.
