        “vaguely resembled” Meaning, he was black.

        I already refuse to shop at Hobby Lobby, here's another good reason to keep it up.

        But if he tried to return stolen artifacts, they'd accept those.

        If he resembled the actual suspect then HOW IS THIS PROFILING? C’mon MSM, are you that blatantly hell bent on pushing your racism agenda? Why didn’t you show the sketch of the suspect? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

        You know what "vaguely" means, right? For all intents and purposes, they would've called the cops on me too, or any black person for that matter. This can't be normal

        I’m well aware. Unfortunately when a person only has a sketch to go off of “vaguely” goes a long way, context is key. Much reasonable suspician is built on vague info. We are too quick to rush to racist period

        Ahhh, you're assuming it's a sketch. Why? Aren't there cameras in every store? The article said the suspect wrote bad checks and returned unauthorized items at that store previously. Every retail store has a camera with a good view of the cashier area

        I stand corrected, there was an actual photo. All people are not trained observers, and they believed that this could actually be the suspect. The fact that there was a resemblance is enough to call and confirm. Again, CRI better story, not racist route

        I didn't get that they were accusing HL of racism in the article, but I have no doubt ppl will interpret it that way. The unprofessionalism and challenges of cross-racial identification were the points I took from it

        Yes we. We the boycotters. The people who care about mistreated customers based on color. Also we women who think birth control is not a corporate choice.
