Costco pulls Palmetto Cheese from 120 stores after owner calls BLM 'terror organization'

[In It to Win It]

Costco recently removed a popular pimento cheese brand from 120 of its stores after the owner called the Black Lives Matter movement a "terror organization" on his public Facebook.

In reaction to the murder of two local residents, Brian Henry, founder of Palmetto Cheese and mayor of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, took to Facebook on Aug. 25 with a message many residents considered to be racist in nature. Although the post has since been deleted, screenshots circulated social media calling on customers to #BoycottPalmetto.

1. Fugg you Buck.

2. Dear Mr. Henry

First, fuck you for defiling the name of Buck Henry, a true mensch.

But, to the matter at hand: Do you think you'll have to wait very long for the killer or killers to be identified?

Do you think that once identified, the killers will go on a 30 day paid leave of absence from their jobs and walk free to consult criminal attorneys at no charge to them?

Do you think that a coterie of the accused killers' friends will exonerate them in the media with the backing of the civil authorities? Do you think the civil authorities will vow not to rest until the killers' are identified and meted out the fullest measure of justice?

Do you think the surviving family and friends of the victims will have to come out and urge everyone to remain calm while the system grinds through an exacting and meticulous process that will likely result in total exoneration for the accused killers? Or will those friends and family members be given a platform and a microphone to express the full range of their grief, sorrow, anger, and thirst for revenge against the accused killers?

And what's your evidence that the killers are anti-fascists or partisans of Black Lives Matter? Or doesn't your sense of justice concern itself with such minutiae when you have a chance to smear people you don't know and clearly don't understand?
