While the Penzeys Spices store in Kenosha was not damaged during violent protests in the city, its CEO wants to "loot" his own store.
Bill Penzey wrote to customers of his Wauwatosa-based chain of spice shops that he supports the mission behind the protests in Kenosha in response to a police officer shooting Jacob Blake in the back seven times at close range.
"Someone wrote to say that you would be singing a different tune if it was your store being looted," Penzey wrote in the email. "I'm by no means perfect but seriously no, I wouldn't. Human life means everything; stuff, not so much."
Save yourself the cost, Bill and offer to shine a black man's shoes instead.

If human life means everything, Penzey, where do you stand on abortion?

What a jackass. How does looting stuff prevent the loss of a Black man's or any life for that matter? If looting his store could have prevented Jacob Blake from being shot, this would make some sense. As it stands, this is just a stupid post by an ultra liberal loon.

Next time I need a pound of Saffron I'll hire a BLM member to pick some up at Penzey's for me.

Too bad he gave his game away. When the insurance company investigates the 'looting' they'll see he only wanted the money for a renovation.

If you choose not to fight a police officer, usually violence does not ensue.

I stopped buying from Penzey's several years ago, when each catalog came with a sermon from Bill Penzey about the latest SJW topic du jour. The last straw was during one of the past Obama era BLM forays and he essentially told his customers that we need to stop being racist. I wanted spices, not a SJW lecture from someone who knows zip about me. I've taken my business to The Spice House, which was the original spice company that the Penzey family started. Their outreach consists of sponsoring drives to send spices to our deployed troops. Much better.

Do not despair, Penzey, they will get around to your store. Better be patient. otherwise the insurance won't cover it.

FTA: "What if we took a snapshot of our Kenosha store’s inventory tonight and simply gave away exactly that amount of inventory in the coming weeks?," he wrote.
Right, because a few jars of spices is just what the owner of the used car lot that went up in flames or the owner of the furniture store that went up in flames needs to help restore their lives.

Sorry #7, but with good saffron costing thousands of dollars a pound, that BLM member isn't bringing the bag to your house.

Don't most insurance policies exclude losses from war, riot, or civil unrest?

I USED to buy all my spices from Penzeys in nearby KC. But when I found out what a leftist idiot jerk this guy I stopped. I’ll even pay shipping charges so as not to support that A-whole (you know what I mean)

There is a Penzey's store here. I have visited it for the last time. It's sad, too, because Penzey's has really good spices. Oh, well, Mr. Penzey has really stepped on his own sch--tz.

For the average family cook, chances are you can find about as good spices in a regular quality grocery store for half the price, so why give your money to a liberal idiot.

Well gee.....Mr. Penzi wants to feel the "love" of being looted. He has been left out of all that emotion and damage. I assume that if a bunch of people in MAGA red hats come in and do a "soft looting" .... you know...no broken anything....that would Bill his wanted emotional ejaculation climax.

PR stunt...if Penzy was sincere he would bust all the windows and burn the store out. This is just more liberal virtue signaling. Hey, Bill, it's insured...right?
