No, this doesn't sound like bending the knee. Bending the knee would be something like "We reject hate and demand justice for those marginalized by a racist system ... blah blah blah" |

BRRC should be dumped because their coffee is not good. That statement however is not knee bending.
Arf is just as bad as any other social media platform when it comes to signaling. Dislike/like a company based on their product, not because of what some $15/hr web jockey posts about politics. This place really has gotten pathetic. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: As someone who has bought a decent amount of their coffee in the past including a years subscription, I can’t say I have any desire to do so again at this point. I respected that they were veteran owned and operated, supported the 2a, shooting sports, and had pretty good coffee. They should change veteran owned and operated to veteran owned and operated by Twitter. You guys should post your customer or order numbers and send them a link to this thread. Other than proof that they are loosing customers, or could potentially lose customers it's just a lot of bloviating. |

It is pretty obvious who buys their product. By not supporting a young man who used a Black Rifle to defend his life, they alienated almost all of their customer base in an effort to appease a group who would have never bought their coffee in the first place. They fucked up. I dont care how neutral their response is. Tbey could have kept quiet or supported Kyle and the 2A. Guess I'd rather buy a pillow and watch Silver Spoons reruns while drinking my Kroger coffee. |

The fact that you think they give a shit about your whiny dollars is hysterical. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: ARFCOM just saved me a bunch of money. I was so fucking thrilled Kyle was wearing a BRCC shirt I told my wife that when we get home I’m headed online to buy more of their expensive coffee. I didn’t care about the costs, it was supporting a cause. When my wife was overthinking what to get I opened ARFCOM on a new window and this thread popped up. I’ll wait on my order until Monday to see if BRCC has the balls to stand up to the commies and maybe even fire their useless and stupid weekend spokesperson. If they stand behind Kyle and donate to Kyle’s cause they might just make a long term customer of me yet (not like their new cancel culture commie friends were ever going to buy their coffee at all). BRCC has missed their opportunity to STFU, they have to take a side and logic would dictate it would be the side that buys their product. Tick-tock BRCC. LOL they were fine before you got self righteous, and will be fine after you cancel your $42.00 order. The fact that you think they give a shit about your whiny dollars is hysterical. LOL. The brand is built on an image. That image can go away overnight. Ask Benchmade how that works. And that company has a much wider patronage. Only an idiot would not see the potential damage this stance could cause. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't know man.. BRCC's customer base are gun owners. No middle of the road person is buying coffee with a picture of an "assault rifle" on the bag. Their whole existence of selling mediocre coffee at a high price is marketing to a often vilified segment of society, gun owners. The ONLY reason gun owners buy this coffee, even though they trick themselves into thinking it's something special, is they feel the are supporting one of their own. Now, that company decided to distance themselves from a person who used a gun to protect himself. They could have done a 180 and the virtue signaling coffee buyers here would have been mind numbing with the " Just bought 3 bags of AK47 blend!" BRCC did not gain ANY customers with their statement, but they probably lost some. Their is not one Liberal deciding to buy coffee with a picture of an AR on it because BRCC sided with them. As long as they have Bass Pro/Cabelas as a retailer they probably don't care much. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Ridiculous. I’m buying BRCC just to spite you slack jawed faggot pearl clutchers.

But you and many others are ignoring the last tweet which says BRCC are ending their relationship with The Blaze Because the guy from The Blaze podcast posted a picture with Kyle while Kyle happened to be wearing a BRCC shirt. They stepped on their own dick trying to walk away from any association with Kyle. I don’t drink coffee, but would have bought some if they could have made a reasonable statement. Hell, if stood up to the left and said NOW they were going to send Kyle a care package, then I probably would have bought BRCC for every coffee drinker in my family. |

They released an official statement from the ceo on their website.
https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/pages/official-statement-kenosha As a veteran-owned and operated coffee company, Black Rifle Coffee Company exists to serve premium coffee while supporting the veteran Community. At the core of Black Rifle Coffee's values is to support and bring awareness to the millions of veterans who have proudly served our nation and we will not waver from that mission. The Black Rifle brand is a symbol of service, of strength, and of goodness that has carried over from our military origins. It's why we support active duty service members and veterans, prioritize veteran hiring, and advocate for individual liberty and personal responsibility. We do not support legal advocacy efforts. We do not sponsor nor do we have a relationship with the 17-year-old facing charges in Kenosha, WI. We believe in the integrity of the legal justice system, and support law enforcement officials. We're grateful for the continued support of the Black Rifle Coffee community and eager to continue serving those who serve. -Evan Hafer, CEO/Founder |

But like it or not Kyle may be found guilty of murder in some form on that first shoot. I don’t think he actually murdered the guy but he might have gotten spooked and pulled the trigger on him too quick. No one knows for sure until all the details come out. Maybe BRCC doesn’t want to part of that until again the details all come out and their marketing guy appears to have done something they didn’t like. Either way I support Kyle. I support BRCC though their coffee is too expensive for what it is. |

Well that's disappointing. Sad to see them try to appease people who weren't even buying their products to begin with. Does the BRCC CEO really think that the people who are offended by that picture, were buying bags of coffee with guns on them, to begin with? Because I truly doubt they were sipping on "AK47" or "Murdered Out" while being offended on Twitter.
