The company said in the Instagram post: “Not only did they deliberately (sic) they took down all the pride related flags, but they tore them into pieces, stuffed them down their pants and peed on them. »

According to the company, flags have been hung at the import market for years to support Pride Month and an incident like this has never happened.

Import Market added: “Please report their names to the police. Do not harass the culprits. Let’s not lower ourselves to their standards!!”

MTN contacted the Missoula Police Department, who confirmed they were aware of the incident.

No official report has been filed with police by Import Market at this time, but the company plans to do so.
