Comedian Adam Carolla and talk-show host Dennis Prager are blasting Walmart for refusing to sell their political documentary, "No Safe Spaces," which ironically highlights the erosion of free speech in America.
Newsweek reported Walmart typically carries political films by Michael Moore and other liberal film makers when they are first released on DVD. But the chain acknowledged it won't carry "No Safe Spaces," which is regarded as a conservative film.
Carolla told Newsweek it's ironic that a movie "about the importance of allowing Americans to share ideas freely" was deemed unfit for sale at Walmart.
"You can't make this stuff up," said Carolla. "It's a free country and Walmart is free to ban our movie, but our fans are also free to let Walmart know how they feel about that."

The film was last year's No. 1 political documentary, based on its $1.3 million take at the box office.
"Americans are now used to this type of treatment by Google, YouTube, Netflix and Twitter. But Walmart?" Prager told Newsweek. "What a sad day. Millions of Americans trust Walmart, and the thought that they are refusing to stock one of the biggest documentaries of 2019 — a documentary on the core American value, free speech, which features people of all political backgrounds, no less — is truly dispiriting."

Minority-owned businesses are among the worst-hit targets of looters and rioters who rampaged in Minneapolis and then other cities after a black man died in police custody , according to news reports .
“ Expressing grievances to our elected officials in the form of protest is a time-honored tradition , ” Stacy Washington , co-chairwoman of the board of Project 21 , a black conservative group , said in a public statement Monday .
“ But what we are watching unfold across the country is a coordinated effort to destroy the rule of law and order in our communities and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Washington said .
“ In video after video , we see masked white protesters dressed all in black destroying property in black neighborhoods .
And it ’ s blacks who are trying to stop the Antifa protesters from defacing small businesses.
” During remarks Monday evening in the Rose Garden , President Donald Trump noted : “ The biggest victims of the rioting are peace-loving citizens in our poorest communities , and as their president , I will fight to keep them safe.
” Prosecutors charged Derek Chauvin , 44 , with third-degree @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of George Floyd , 46 , who was being arrested Memorial Day evening on suspicion of passing a counterfeit 20-dollar bill .
Cellphone video showed Chauvin , at the time a Minneapolis police officer , with a knee pressing into the neck of Floyd , prone and handcuffed on the pavement , for nearly nine minutes .
Floyd , who was black , could be heard begging Chauvin , who is white , to allow him to stand and saying “ I can ’ t breathe ” before he fell silent .
A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s death was a homicide .
Outrage over his death has united Americans across political divides , as well as police chiefs and police unions .
“ I understand the anger , but I do not understand destroying your own neighborhood to protest an innocent man ’ s murder , ” Marie Fischer , an information technology specialist and Maryland political consultant who is black , said of those looting and setting fires .
“ I do not understand many who are bailing out these ‘ protesters ’ as a sign of support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ business owners whose stores and businesses have been destroyed by rioters ?
” said Fischer , who also is a member of Project 21 .
“ They should fund those who were and are building these communities instead of the ones tearing them down under the guise of social justice–which in this case is neither social nor just.
” Here are six examples of minority-owned businesses across the country that were vandalized , desecrated , or destroyed by rioters .
Luis Tamay , an immigrant , reportedly saved for more than 10 years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sabor Chuchi , in Minneapolis seven years ago .
After guarding his restaurant during the first couple of nights of unrest , Tamay obeyed the city ’ s curfew Friday night and went home , believing the Minnesota National Guard would keep order .

One was burned down ; someone broke into the other and stole supplies .

Floyd was killed in Minneapolis , and peaceful protests began there before others turned to violence , looting , and arson .
The StarTribune reported : “ The riots and arson that followed protests of George Floyd ’ s death have devastated organizations and businesses that serve communities of color.

“ I don ’ t know if people know we ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we don ’ t put it on the front of the business , ” Attom owner Zola Dias told the station .

Another black-owned business , World Liquor & Tobacco , was looted twice Sunday , KXAN reported .
A Denver restaurant called Buffalo Wildwings and Things , owned by Zac Gabani , was a target of vandalism .
“ It is frustrating , ” Gabani told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things “ is pretty counterintuitive.
” Gabani ’ s eatery reportedly was one of the few businesses that tried to remain open during both the riots and peaceful protests in Denver .
“ We were the only place open to feed them , ” Gabani said .
“ We like to support the community ; we just wish they would help support us as well.
” Dozens of minority-owned businesses in Milwaukee were ransacked by looters , Fox6 Milwaukee reported .
Sam Rahami , owner of the store Trend Benderz , smashed over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ Destroying somebody ’ s business , somebody ’ s livelihood , is not a way of finding justice for anyone.

Here are six examples of minority-owned businesses across the country that were vandalized, desecrated, or destroyed by rioters.
1. Minneapolis: Where Unrest Began
Luis Tamay, an immigrant, reportedly saved for more than 10 years to open his Ecuadorian restaurant, El Sabor Chuchi, in Minneapolis seven years ago.
After guarding his restaurant during the first couple of nights of unrest, Tamay obeyed the city’s curfew Friday night and went home, believing the Minnesota National Guard would keep order.
When Tamay arrived at his restaurant Saturday morning, it was burned to the ground, the Minneapolis StarTribune reported.
“Seventeen years of work is gone,” he told the newspaper.
Nearby, a Spanish-language radio station, La Raza, also burned down. Station owner Maya Santamaria wrote on her GoFundMe page: “Small, minority business owners found themselves with the businesses that they worked their fingers to the bone building destroyed, looted, vandalized and burned down. Some had no insurance. Others have no resources.”

“Even though it hurt my businesses, I understand,” Lusuer told the StarTribune.
Floyd was killed in Minneapolis, and peaceful protests began there before others turned to violence, looting, and arson.
The StarTribune reported: “The riots and arson that followed protests of George Floyd’s death have devastated organizations and businesses that serve communities of color.”
The newspaper reported Monday that looters burned a nonprofit center for American Indian youth.
La Michoacana Purepecha ice cream shop lost power as a result of the riots, and employees tried to give popsicles away.
“People right now are going to want to stay away from Lake Street, and that is understandable,” business owner Ricardo Hernandez told the newspaper, referring to the location of his ice cream shop.
“It’s very hard to see your whole life savings go down like this,” Hernandez said. “We used up all our money to build something nice for … not just the Latino community, but everybody.”
2. Atlanta: ‘A Very Sad Day for Us’
Atlanta has a strong legacy in the civil rights movement as the one-time home of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who promoted peaceful resistance to injustice in the 1960s.
Still, the city erupted in riots as badly as any other in the nation over the weekend. Some of the stores that were broken into and damaged were black-owned businesses, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.
The TV station highlighted Attom, the first black-owned business to operate in an outdoor mall called The Shops at Buckhead, known for high-end retail stores.
“I don’t know if people know we’re owned by a black man because we don’t put it on the front of the business,” Attom owner Zola Dias told the station. “But this is a very sad day for us.”
The store is boarded up, like most of the other shops in the outdoor mall, Fox 5 reported.
“I’m a black man, I’m young, but there is another way to go and protest,” Dias added.

3. Looting in Texas Capital
Looters targeted a black-owned salon over the weekend in Austin, Texas, NBC affiliate KXAN reported.
The owner of Private Stock Premium Boutique set up a GoFundMe page and as of Monday had raised more than $60,000 to help rebuild.
Another black-owned business, World Liquor & Tobacco, was looted twice Sunday, KXAN reported.
4. ‘Frustrating’ Vandalism in Denver
A Denver restaurant called Buffalo Bills Wings and Things, owned by Zac Gabani, was a target of vandalism.
“It is frustrating,” Gabani told CBS4 in Denver, adding that breaking things “is pretty counterintuitive.”
Gabani’s eatery reportedly was one of the few businesses that tried to remain open during both the riots and peaceful protests in Denver.
“We were the only place open to feed them,” Gabani said. “We like to support the community; we just wish they would help support us as well.”
5. Milwaukee: ‘Not a Way of Finding Justice’
Dozens of minority-owned businesses in Milwaukee were ransacked by looters, Fox6 Milwaukee reported.
Sam Rahami, owner of the store Trend Benderz, smashed over the weekend, told the TV station: “Destroying somebody’s business, somebody’s livelihood, is not a way of finding justice for anyone.”
Another store owner, not identified by name in the news story, complained to the station that the destruction was counterproductive.
“What they’re doing is against their benefit. We are here to be part of this community,” the owner of a Cricket Wireless store that was looted and damaged said.
6. Philadelphia: ‘For My Own Community to Do It to My Business’
Black leaders in Philadelphia held a forum calling for peace and in part highlighting that many black businesses were being destroyed, ABC-6 reported.
The forum included black clergy in Philadelphia as well as Human Rights Coalition 215 and Philadelphia Community Stakeholders.
Among those speaking at the event this week were Elliott Broaster, owner of Smoke N Things, a shop that was burned down.
“When I got home alone, I shed a few tears. I saw my business burn down and it hurt me a lot. And especially for my own community to do it to my business, that’s what really [hurt],” Broaster told ABC-6.

This is no longer about George Floyd. This is no longer about justice. This is all-out chaos. I made it clear whose side I was on when George Floyd was murdered. If any of these cops die, people tweeting #BlackOutTuesday are making it perfectly clear whose side they're on.
At least Hollywood will shut up for a day. Maybe.

This won ’ t be a universally popular opinion , but the time for caring about making everyone happy and/or pissing off the fewest number of people has ended .
As the NFL and its teams look for a way to transform words into actions , a simple , easy , and clear path to change for professional football would come from an immediate change to the name of the Washington franchise .
The team that is named for the nation ’ s capital , at a time when the nation ’ s capital has become one of the flash @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the franchise ’ s nickname is a textbook racial slur , that it genuinely offends enough Native Americans to make the name unacceptable , and that it should change .
If it wasn ’ t already obvious , it should be given the reaction to the franchise ’ s failed effort to embrace # BlackoutTuesday .
If not in this moment , when will the name ever change ?
When owner Daniel Snyder sells the team to someone else ?
When he can barter a new name for a new stadium ?
When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ successor to do the right thing , possibly in exchange for a draft or a Super Bowl ?
In this critical time of turning mere language into meaningful action , this is the opportunity for Snyder to show strength , unity , and sensitivity by acknowledging that the word is outdated , that it is racist , and that it should be abandoned .
While it applies to a different race than the race that currently is screaming for equality and justice , racism is racism .
Unfair treatment is unfair treatment .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a word that offends too many of them .
How many is too many ?
One Native American genuinely offended by the phrase is too many .
And it ’ s far more than one Native American who objects to the term , despite the efforts of the franchise to mischaracterize inherently flawed polls and other devices aimed at creating an impression that it ’ s OK to use the name , that it ’ s only a problem if an overwhelming majority of Native Americans object , and that the opinions expressed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are trying to give voice to the Native Americans who are offended by the word should be disregarded as “ virtue signaling.
” Fans of the franchise , who have somehow found a way to convince themselves that “ Redskins ” means only a football team and nothing more , will continue to loudly object and deflect , clumsily arguing that a change to the team ’ s nickname will force other franchises to follow suit , given that “ Giants ” offends large people and “ Saints ” offends Catholics and whatever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to avoid the fundamental question of whether repeated and regular use of the term “ Redskins ” is acceptable , especially when America is being pushed ( perhaps against its will ) toward ending systemic racism against all minority classes .
Again , racism is racism — whether practiced against African-Americans or Native Americans or any group that isn ’ t part of the white majority .
For far too long , Snyder and his predecessors have ignored the simply reality that “ Redskins ” isn ’ t a universal term of honor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a term on which Native Americans are conflicted .
So as the NFL gropes for a way to turn its word salads of statements into something real and meaningful , nothing would be more real and more meaningful than finally admitting in a loud , clear , and unambiguous voice that the term “ Redskins ” is wrong , and that it will immediately be abandoned for another name .
If the organization does anything less than that , any of its word or actions aimed at ending racism should be regarded as @ @ @ @ @ @ @

Following up on his Monday night monologue that spared no one, FNC host Tucker Carlson continued to savage the liberal media (but CNN and MSNBC in particular) on Tuesday and Wednesday for “assisting the riots” as glorified “revolutionary organizations” from their comfy, safe homes and TV studios.
Seconds into Tuesday’s show, he noted journalists alongside other public professions like athletes and celebrities as having “sided with the people burning down police stations” that have now moved onto physically attacking police officers and, in cases this week, killing them.
