Social Media Campaign Targets Nordstrom Employee Advocating MURDER of White Police Officers
If you want to say something incendiary online to impress your friends with how offensively clever you can be, make sure people can’t discover where you work or you might end up like Aaron Hodges who finds himself a target of an online mob after posting this on his facebook page:

The comment reads, “Instead of slamming the police, I prefer a Kenny Fort approach. Every time an unarmed black man is killed, you kill a decorated white officer, on his door step in front of his family.” Yeah, that’s pretty vicious.
Here are some of the many angry tweets sent at Nordstrom about their allegedly scumbag employee:

Maybe @Nordstrom would react differently re: employees openly calling for murder of white cops, if police supporters stop shopping there.

The official Twitter account for Nordstrom has responded, but it’s not clear that they’ll take any action against the employee:
@lilglockgal Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. Our employees’ personal beliefs do not reflect ours as a company.
— Nordstrom (@Nordstrom) December 13, 2014
@odonnell_r We understand your point of view and we’re very sorry for the disappointment. These are his personal beliefs and in no… 1/2
— Nordstrom (@Nordstrom) December 13, 2014
@odonnell_r …way do they reflect ours as a company. We are working to address this situation as best we can as an employer. 2/2

I’m not generally in favor of online mobs, but when the guy is advocating for the murder of white policemen in front of their families, you really wonder if their employer is satisfied with this dim reflection on their values.
