#BestBuy #BlackFriday Shenanigans

If I were to tell you that Best Buy only let 25 customers inside their huge store at a time and made everyone else wait outside in a line, would you believe me?  Well please read the letter I wrote to Best Buy's rep for my region Ryan Stanzel.

Hello Mr. Stanzel,

On the evening of November 26th 2015, Thanksgiving Day, The Best Buy located in the Hamburg Mall area of Lexington Kentucky opened its doors for the annual Black Friday Sale.  I drove 45 miles one way to this location and arrived at 7pm on purpose so that I would not have to stand outside in a long line.  It was quite surprising to see a line formed at the door AND seeing customers inside shopping.  So I approached two employees guarding the front entrance and asked them if the line was for a specific item that may have been part of the Black Friday door buster sale.  The answer I got was that they were only allowing 25 customers in the store at a time.  I found this extremely disappointing and completely against everything that has become the Black Friday shopping spirit...I mean why would a business CHOOSE to keep paying customers outside?  On a normal busy day in that Best Buy, there could be easily 50 customers roaming the establishment.  So then I snapped a couple of photos of the scene and proceeded to take to social media on Twitter and Facebook about what I had just witnessed.  It only took a few minutes for someone named "Alex" from Best Buy Support on Twitter to reply that they had no idea what was going on and asked if I talked to a manager.  I told them I spoke to two front door employees and then indicated to that support person that I had sent WKYT, the CBS affiliate in Lexington, KY, a tweet about this situation since I wasnt the only one there that was upset.  Later I found out that the Best Buy store in Lexington located off of Nicholasville Road did not use a similar policy with their customers.  So I guess my inquiry to you is, What is Best Buy prepared to do with the Manager that obviously went rogue and instituted a store capacity limit leaving many to wait needlessly outside, AND What is Best Buy prepared to do to make things right for the Customers?

Attached is the photos I took along with the corresponding tweets I had with Best Buy Support.

UPDATE:
Best Buy contacted me on Facebook and sent me this...Basically they think I should handle this myself with the Store...

#Mizzou Police Tell Students To Report Hurtful Speech

Ahhh yes, Students at the University of Missouri have been told in an email that they should report hurtful or hate speech to police.  This of course comes on the heels of cowardly moves by their former President and Chancellor to resign after a protest named Concerned Student 1950 flipped their emotional skulls upside down over some individuals spouting some racist comments and such on campus.

The University is threatening to take disciplinary action upon any individual using their freedom of speech as long as they deem it hate speech or hurtful speech..  This is in direct conflict with the First Amendment of the US Constitution which trumps University policy.  This is the sort of catalyst that can lead to attacks on Christians, Pro-Life activists, and Limited Government Supporters.  Anything that would "trigger" or cause someone to be offended and if agreed upon by the university could fall within these parameters.  This behavior by authorities can never lead to anything good.

Then you have this Debbie Wasserman Shultz look a like and wanna be that apparently teaches on campus that attempted to "get muscle" to remove reporters from an area where the protests were taking place which represents further disdain for the First Amendment freedom of the press on public property.

#BlackLivesMatter Mafia Strikes Again

The President of the University of Missouri has resigned today in response to protests from grown children who were offended by various words and imagery on campus.  Someone even went as far as to go on a hunger strike.  The shameful football team even went on strike so to speak.  The NCAA should investigate their activities to see if their absence from team activities violated regulations.  Yes Im pissed off because Im sick and tired of seeing grown ass children whining and crying about how offended they are and always playing the victim.  Universities are supposed to be for adults seeking a higher learning degree, not for overgrown children to whine and complain about being offended...Where are the cries for "Open Mindedness"?  Oh that's right, its just a disillusioned weapon in the quiver of political correctness and cultural Marxism.  The President showed great cowardice in resigning since he promoted the message that someone else is always to blame for when people are offended aka unable to control their emotions.  This continues to be the goal of the Black Lives Matter Mafia, making sure whitey pays for the actions of other people, especially if they are wealthy and/or in positions of power.

Post Kentucky Election Analysis

Now that the elections in Kentucky are finished until March of 2016, I would like to offer my analysis.  The main contest of course being for the Governor's seat.  The polling since this past May showed that Jack Conway held the lead.  This of course would cause one that took the polls to heart to be flabbergasted at what transpired last night.  Matt Bevin the Republican won convincingly.  It wasnt a landslide, but it was to the point where it couldn't even be contested.  Democrats, which usually benefit from the presence of third party candidates, are already complaining that Independent Candidate Drew Curtis cost Jack Conway the election.  

As you can see, even if everyone that voted for Drew Curtis voted for Jack Conway, it still would not have been near enough to close the gap.  This is the age old and debunked argument that both parties have used to justify their continued attempts to discriminate against third party candidate challenges.

In other Kentucky election news, It was not all bad news for the Kentucky Democrat Party as Alison Lundergan Grimes keeps her seat.

Winning for the Democratic Party last night was Andy Beshear, son of exiting Governor Steve Beshear who claims he ran and won on his own merit but anyone with two brain cells to rub together would know otherwise.  This would be the tightest race of the night as Beshear would win by approximately 2200 votes.

Other than those two offices, the Kentucky GOP ran the tables with the rest of the offices.  Matt Bevin becomes only the second GOP Governor in the last 40 years.  Sixty of the last sixty-eight years in Kentucky have been under a Democrat Governor.  This begs the question, why has Kentucky seemingly made this transition toward a more conservative stance.  Typically Kentucky has voted GOP when it comes to national seats like the President, Senator, US Representative, but usually has voted Democrat when it comes to state positions.

With Governor-Elect Matt Bevin set to take control, many pundits are already spreading widespread hysteria and apocalyptic warnings about the actions Matt Bevin wants to take.  They are already warning users of KYNECT, the state instituted healthcare exchange, that Bevin wants to make people sick and kill them by taking their healthcare away from them.  Just a disclaimer, I am one of those people that is registered for health insurance via KYNECT.  They are already spreading fear about the state's pension program and Bevin's ideas about switching the state's pension program over to 401K type programs.  People are already exclaiming that Bevin hates police, fire, and ems.  This of course is a complete joke because Bevin is a Veteran and I havent ran across many if at all any veterans that dislike our Police, Fire, and EMS.

No doubt the election last night sent shock waves and messages to the political establishment throughout the state.  However I think many are over exaggerating changes that are perceived.  Matt Bevin might have promised a lot of things to get elected however, if I were a betting man, I would say that more than half of the changes he said he would make wont even be considered, and the other half would be spread out over the next 4 years.  I guaranty you that he is already considering being re-elected in 2019.

Ill close with how I spent my evening last night.  I chose to attend the post election party that Fark.com founder and CEO Independent Drew Curtis had in Lexington last night.  It was fun with beer and good people just having a good ol time.
