ILLINOIS: Christian Protester Prompts “Massive Police Response” At Chicago-Area Target [VIDEO]

NBC Chicago reports:

A man protesting Target’s transgender bathroom policy at a store in Bourbonnais was arrested Monday, authorities said. Michael Merichko was charged with disorderly conduct following a disturbance inside a Target store at 1615 N. State Route 50 in Bourbonnais, about 55 miles south of Chicago, according to the Bradley Police Department.

Merichko was allegedly protesting Target Corporation’s newly announced policy on letting transgender people use the bathroom that conforms to their identity. Police said his actions caused “panic among store employees and customers.” Just after 1 p.m., multiple police agencies responded to the Target after receiving a 911 call about an active shooter inside the store, according to authorities.

Nearby stores in the shopping complex were placed on lockdown, and police secured the area. Bradley police Lt. Mike Johnston said investigators later determined Merichko made no threats of shooting anyone in the store.

Yesterday the American Family Association revealed that they are “testing Target” by sending men in the ladies room. Watch the clip below for Merichko’s ranting Facebook video about evil trans people.
