        At least some of the bomb threats, allegedly, came from upset LGBTQ/left after removal of Gay Pride displays.

        …I say allegedly because I won’t discount the use of false flag tactics by either side to make the other look bad. But the threat was basically, “I placed bombs in your stores, put the Gay Pride displays back up or they’re going off”.

        Thanks for the downvote, so good to know people here care about the truth & accuracy in reporting. 🙄
