I have not heard if Target is pressing charges or not.






Ethan Schmidt, the right-wing activist who went viral for destroying Pride merchandise in Target, has been active on gay dating apps for several years.

You know that Ethan Schmidt guy who is attacking Target LGBTQ+ merch?

Guess he spent a lot of time on Grindr in Arizona and few people are saying they recognize him from umm face to face meetings.

Free yourself, you'll be so much happier and healthier.

1. There's more people than we may realize that have bought into this terrible demonization

Of gay and trans people. I had 4 patients today not related to each other saying everyone is forcing trans and gay down their throats and they are happy target pulled the items.. I don’t normally talk politics at work but these people really mad me angry. I had to stop because there’s no reasoning with them. I blame our horrible Gov Desantis for this hate he makes as his platform.

5. Pathetic human beings

No one is forcing anything down our throats relative to gay and trans citizens. They are just trying to live peacefully in the land of the free, while it still is.

One must have incredibly low self esteem to think that way. Maybe they like conversing about having something shoved down their throats. But they are believing what Russians and republicans want them to believe.

OTOH, some Christian’s are working hard to codify their beliefs in the land of the free.

2. If he's destroying property...

Target needs to press charges.

3. Yes!

That should have been the only thing that happened. The merch should have stayed.

6. I've never had a desire

To destroy a display of old mens clothes in any store because I don’t loathe myself. There must be something wrong with me. I got it. I don’t have conservative values.

4. Sick fuck. That is all.

[Laffy Kat]

7. That's maddening but also very sad.

That someone would hate themselves that much and project it on to others.

[Pinback]

9. No kidding.

And it’s hard to reinvent yourself when you’ve proven yourself a liar and a hypocrite for all the world to see.

A life lesson learned too late for this guy.

8. Gay bashing is his life's work. No joke. He crowd funds off of his gay bashing actions.

It's disgusting that people give him money to support his activities.

He then cruises dating apps with impunity. Well, well!

He doesn't have to work at all, just be an assh*le and he gets thousands! I guess that's how he pays for dates.

I want to know who those people paying him are! Do you think they care? Probably not. They probably think it's a hoax or a witch hunt.

There's certainly no shortage of idiots in their ranks.

10. I'm glad you posted this. I was going to do an OP on him, too.

I hope you don't mind me sharing this here...

Alt-Right Troll Ethan Schmidt-Crockett Sentenced For Harassing Mesa Wig Store
ELIAS WEISS MARCH 3, 2023 11:02AM

Ethan Schmidt-Crockett was wearing an untucked polo shirt, cargo pants, and gym shoes when he entered the courtroom on Thursday morning; his signature auburn mustache was curled into a handlebar. This wasn’t the first time Schmidt-Crockett has seen the inside of a courtroom.

The far-right troll was convicted of both trespassing in Scottsdale and an Extreme DUI in Chandler in 2021. He also has been arrested for violating his probation and failing to appear in court as recently as June 2022, according to court records.

This time, the anti-mask and anti-LGBTQ activist was called to answer for his actions in May 2021 when he videotaped himself entering private businesses in Mesa that advertised mask mandates and harassing the employees. Schmidt-Crockett claimed that he was there to “test their mask policy” to share with his hundreds of thousands of online followers.

One of Schmidt-Crockett’s victims, Sunny’s Hair and Wigs located at Baseline and Alma School roads, served the would-be provocateur with a restraining order in January 2022. The next day, Schmidt-Crockett violated the order and called the store.
