Black Lives Matter protestors have occupied a Trader Joe's in Seattle. Liberal white women throughout the city are now stockpiling frozen burritos and wondering: "has this all gone too far"?pic.twitter.com/GAkOfj55YN

They claim to be protesting "lack of access to grocery stores" and explaining to Trader Joe's patrons "how capitalism exploits the working class."

This is double-LOL: if the protestors have lack of access to grocery stores, how did they all get to Trader Joe's? And if the workers are so exploited, why do they keep voting Trader Joe's the #1 place to work in America?!

they're right - they do lack access to grocery stores because inept policies increased crime, poverty, and drove businesses away in cities like Baltimore
-
There has been expansion of grocery stores in many parts of traditional minority areas in Seattle. Some losses, more gains. And, gentrification all over due to strong economy and people moving into city. Big loss was closure of downtown grocery store-unsafe due to crime, etc.

The working class are the people working at that Trader Joe’s

Seriously, the occupiers should drop off job applications while they're there. That would save a trip.

Beginning to think the rise of BLM protesters is less about any claim to legitimacy of their cause and more about the utter lack of will in our civilization to confront delinquents being obnoxious in the name of social justice. This isn't a revolution, it's just surrender.

Future historians: "...and the revolution of 2020 came to an end in the produce aisle of a suburban Whole Foods. The young rebels could not resist the liberating charms of year-round kiwis and paleo granola bars."

Maybe the local Target was already closed - for some unknown reason...

In the past Trader Joe’s -refused to boycott Israel; -refused to cancel cute product names. Not bad, what do you think?

Trader Joe's has more courage than much of our political class.
