Iwanski said officers told him they have a good idea of who the man is, but since his store was targeted twice in one week and had protesters at its Drag Queen Story Hour on Saturday, the notion doesn’t make him feel much better.

“These people are feeling empowered to do this because that’s the mindset in the country right now,” Iwanski said. “That’s the leadership in the country right now.”

He told the Tulsa World last week that “we have a lot of left-leaning material. Basically it’s anti-white supremacist, pro-socialism; we also offer LGBTQ+ materials. I’m gay, and one of the other owners is trans, so we kind of hit every demographic that this group doesn’t like.”

He said Monday that the store’s supporters far outweigh its public detractors. Three random people who heard via Facebook about the vandalism showed up ready to work Monday afternoon, donning safety vests and scrubbing the sidewalk just feet from fast-moving traffic.
