The Apple Store in Madison is chicly sculptural, boarded up in black.

In normal times, that black expanse is all sparkling clear glass.

Yeah my husband needs his iPhone fixed and the stores aren't open to do it.

Poor resource management. For the cost of that you could easily hire a bunch of Korean shop owners with semi-auto rifles and post them on the roof. Shoot or fire on the rabble once and voila! That's the end of that!

In Boy Scouts we called it being prepared.

Horizontal version of the 2001 Odyssey Monolith.

Just need apes* in front banging bones. Sideways.

The Apple Store is just a front.

That's the local office of "The Men In Black."

Just means they'll have to be going in the back. Which is probably hardened enough to slow them down long enough for the alarms to get the cops.

If the cops even want to bother...

I wonder what Apple's Robocop looks like?

The next time you're in Paris checkout the windows of stores.

They all have drop-down metal shutters as easy to lower as a window-shade.

Glass breaks, steel doesn't

Apple is fortunate to have hipster clientele who can appreciate the latest in radical chic retail.

Apple renovated the Carnegie Library in downtown D.C. last year, also providing a home to the D.C. Historical Society.

Looted and set on fire this week.

Ah ha. Someone just decide the Protesters are really smash and grab armed robbers operating with the local police’s blessing.

My single bit of lefty-inspired jealous schadenfreude came when I heard they had smashed the glassy Apple store in downtown Philadelphia. I was glad, glad; so bad. Don't ask me why! Just miserable, blackhearted hatred must be the only explanation.

Looks like a big dark computer screen. Imagine blogging on that.

Riots ought to be more understated. More like Trump tweets.

Deevs म्हणाले...

Is it black to go along with people's black out Instagram posts, or is that just coincidental?

space म्हणाले...

great excuse to close and prevent looting like other cities.

Mary Beth म्हणाले...

Would it be uncharitable to accuse them of pandering? Maybe it's pragmatism that just looks like pandering.

Achilles म्हणाले...

All for democrats to get power over other people.

Char Char Binks, Esq. म्हणाले...

FUCK THA POLICE!

Birkel म्हणाले...

I call it "electing Democratics" and getting what you deserve.

gbarto म्हणाले...

Very sharp looking. I hope it doesn't show crowbar scratches. And that it's thick enough.

If I were Apple, I'd be emptying it out the back.

I wonder what happens to China's economy if Apple boards up its stores instead of selling high margin goods from China. But think of all the geniuses out of work.

Mr. O. Possum म्हणाले...

Its origin and purpose still a complete mystery.

Ok! How about Whiteout Wednesday tomorrow?

Mary Beth म्हणाले...

Is this in an area where there has been rioting and looting? If not, is this essentially different from following someone around the store because you're afraid they will shoplift?

Carter Wood म्हणाले...

A band of apes saw it first. Frightened and fascinated, compelled and excited. And one picked up a bone, crashing it down, crashing it down, crashing it down.

Queue Strauss.

Blackout Tuesday

So they blacked out Apple Music which for $14.99 a month you get to be forced to listen to their selected black playlist instead of the music you enjoy listening to. But no credit for the lost day/s of service.

....and you can still buy an iPad online so more like Half-Blackout Tuesday?

Jim at म्हणाले...

And here I thought it was Apple's nod to whatever stupid virtual signalling crap my leftist friends are doing on Facebook today.

Paul Zrimsek म्हणाले...

It's like, how much more black could it be? And the answer is none, none more black.

Original Mike म्हणाले...

Is this in an area where there has been rioting and looting?"

No, not yet.

If Apple truly cared, they wouldn't board up their stores. It's like they're calling peaceful protesters "looters".

Rob म्हणाले...

Apple could have draped matte black paper on the inside of their glass windows, but they chose to use black plywood on the outside. No fools they.

stevew म्हणाले...

See how woke they are? Instagram was covered with black images today today. Blackout Tuesday, get with it!

Wow! Madison has what, $250,000 About the same as Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Where is all this violence coming from? I live i n Dade County Fl, population 2,500,000 and while we are having protests, we are not having vandalism, looting and arson. Why is it everywhere that Democrats run things, always turn to shit?

tommyesq म्हणाले...

Looks like the gate to Mordor...

Yancey Ward म्हणाले...

But Apple is on their side???!!!! So why board it up?

Kevin म्हणाले...

Once you go black...

The Miami mayor was on Tucker Carlson tonight. He is the ONLY GOP big-city mayor in the nation. That tells you something right there. He is also an ex-firefighter who served on the force during the Miami riots in the '80's. I notice that people like him and the Police Chief of Detroit (who was a kid in Detroit in the '60's and served in LA during the Rodney King riots) don't have the same tolerance for violence and mayhem that say, DeBlasio and Lightfoot have. That's because they already have experience cleaning up after the riots and understand what it does to communities.

He acted quickly and put the brakes on. And he clearly loves his city.

Neat. But the question to be answered is, "Will it burn?"
And we all know the answer, don't we?
