Boss Hogg Graduates To Extortion, Demands $1 Million From Publix

May 25, 2018| by Donn Marten

Celebrity school shooting survivor David Hogg is turning to increasingly dirty tactics as he tries to stay relevant and remain in the media for long after his fifteen minutes have passed.

An already budding young fascist has now graduated from threats and bullying into full-blown extortion. As we had previously reported, Hogg is the driving force behind putting the feet on the street (or bodies on the pavement) for a “die-in” to be held at Florida Publix stores on Friday afternoon. Hogg, his media allies and the murky groups behind them have now reconfigured the protest movement that exploited the tragic February murders at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School into an activist arm of the Democratic party.

Publix said Friday it has suspended making political contributions in the wake of pressure over its support of Adam Putnam, a Republican candidate for governor who backs the National Rifle Association.

“We would never knowingly disappoint our customers or the communities we serve,’’ said company spokesman Dwaine Stevens in a statement. “As a result, we decided earlier this week to suspend corporate-funded political contributions as we reevaluate our giving processes.’’

If they get their way with one tantrum, there will be more tantrums,

It's the same with two year-olds and liberals, who function on similar levels.

Morons. You'd think they'd know this is a lose lose for them - they won't pick up more anti gunner business and they'll surely lose pro gunner business.

At one time I thought gun owners would fight.. The won't the US will turn out just like Australia. Little by little gun owners will turn in their guns as non gunpowners increasingly gain numbers each year.

Nope I went on the Publix  twitter page   1000 anti gun comments for every pro gun.

The silent majority stays silent once again. All talk and no walk.

Of course all of the anti gun zealots will be plying Publix with support at this point. Lets see how it pans out in terms of their profitability over the long term.

Same here. I'd boycott them, but I'm not going to drive that far to not spend money there.

Well, fewer are answering polls with "Yes, I own guns". I'm not so sure about the fewer owners part.

Just like the marijuana smoking polls they conducted at the High Schools. Oh, no, they don't smoke that stuff. Just ask 'em.

Fewer people trust social media to be doxxing free and fewer trust the anonymity of polls. Yet firearm sales keep going, and the old ones aren't being destroyed at anywhere near the same rate.

Not sure how big a percentage in the growth in the US population they represent, but illegal aliens and non-resident aliens, although counted in the census, cannot legally buy guns.

I live in small town appalacia and very few of the young generation own guns or shoot. One of my friends is local HS principal.   Very few young boys are into guns, shoot or hunt. 

Gun sales are up because small amount of people have large gun collections.

Gun owners will eventually be outbred just as Muslims will out breed the native Europeans.

My palate requires a finer selection than that bourgeois stuff from BF .  Night Train or Mad Dog 20/20.  Only the finest for the Wingster.
