'Target, that’s a stupid rule. How dare you tell me, as a customer, who I am allowed to buy for, and what I am allowed to buy,' Barrowman said. 
Continuing his rant to his 497,000 followers, the Arrow actor went on: 'It’s absolutely ridiculous and every customer behind me thought it was ridiculous also.
'That gentleman just needed a bit of help to get him up, to make his day a little better, and Target, you were trying to deny that, so I’m a little p***ed off with you right now.'
Barrowman tagged the official Target account in his post, who replied swiftly to apologize and tell him they were going to investigate.
They have since released a statement. It read: 'We’re very sorry for the experience you had at the LA Target store.

'We absolutely do not have a policy against this type of purchase, and are addressing it immediately with the team members involved.
'Thank you for bringing this to our attention.'
The homeless population in Los Angeles has surged more than 75 per cent in the past six years, as California grapples with a homelessness crisis.
Official estimates of the city's homeless population run about 60,000, but outreach workers say the true number is even higher.
In Barrowman's initial tweet, he captioned the video: 'I am disgusted by what I was told. Arrest me for trying to help someone. The stupidity behind that rule. I want an explanation. My fans and followers please message #Target regarding this. JB.'
And indeed, his fan-base chimed in, praising the star for taking on the retail chain.
In the normally jovial actor's initial tweet, he captioned the video: 'I am disgusted by what I was told. Arrest me for trying to help someone. The stupidity behind that rule. I want an explanation. My fans and followers please message #Target regarding this. JB'

Target has stores across the US at 1,828 locations [as of 2017] and invested a massive $7billion in its shops, a revamped digital strategy and private label pushing since 2015.
In 2017, Target returned $591million to shareholders in the fourth quarter through dividends and share repurchases, bringing the total to $2.4 billion for full-year. 

Target's Previous Controversies 

John Barrowman's encounter with the store is not the first time the US retail giant has come under fire.
LGBTQ Issues
In 2011, Lady Gaga discovered that the former Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel donated to a political action group that supported an anti-gay candidate.
She had been expected to provide the company with an exclusive expanded edition of her album at the time, Born This Way. But her discovery made her pull out of the arrangement. 
Target issued an apology and the following year began stocking gay pride merchandise and donating profits to LGBTQ charities and organisations.
They have since gone above and beyond to support gay rights, featuring LGBTQ individuals and couples in national advertising and launching a #takepride campaign in 2014. They have also been the presenting sponsor of GLAAD's Spirit Day and were ranked by LGBTQ Consumers as a favourite brand in 2016 & 2017.
Bathroom Policy and AFA Boycott 
Target's activism where LGBTQ customers were concerned led them to announce in April 2016 tha it would allow transgender customers and employees access to use restrooms and changing areas that correspond with the gender with which they identify.
Despite being branded 'the most prominent position taken by a national retailer' by the New York Times, the American Family Association (AFA) launched a nationwide boycott.
Over one million people had signed the AFA's petition by the end of the month and it was suggest that this was a major reason for Target's drop in shopper traffic during the second quarter of 2016.
Later that summer, Target announced it would add a third, private, single-stall locking bathroom at many of its stores which cost the business $20million and caused sales to fall nearly 6 percent in the three quarters following.
Animal Welfare 
In 2011, Mercy for Animals reported animal abuse at a Target egg supplier.
Hidden-camera footage shot at Sparboe Farms revealed hens were being kept in unsanitary conditions, killed inhumanely and left to rot next to living chickens that were laying eggs for human consumption.
The investigation received international media attention and Target immediately discontinued its relationship with the company. It pledges to become cage-free by 2025.





NANCY PELOSI, and her LA RAZA SISTERS, SEN. DIANNE FEINSTEIN, FORMER SEN. BARBARA BOXER and NOW SEN. KAMALA HARRIS are a pantheon of staggering self-serving corruption.

They and their families have all gotten filthy rich off of these women’s elected office.

Their endless hispandering for the illegals’ votes has turned California into Mexifornia, a drug, gang and anchor baby welfare third-world dumpster!


“Liberal governing has transformed beautiful California into the poverty capital of America with the worst quality of life.  Crazy taxes, crazy high cost of living, and crazy overreaching regulations have crushed the middle class, forcing the middle class to exit the Sunshine State.  All that is left in California are illegals feeding at the breast of the state, rapidly growing massive homeless tent cities, and the mega-rich.” LLOYD MARCUS

A dashcam video of downtown Los Angeles on Christmas day reveals a stunning sight: hundreds of tents and lean-tos on the sidewalks that serve as shelter for the homeless. The scene is reminiscent of a third-world country. RICK MORAN / AMERICANTHINKER com
