Grocery Giant Publix Stands Up To ‘Boycott Bully’ David Hogg And Declines To Pay $1 Million Dollar ‘Donation’ Extortion Demand

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Publix CEO Todd Jones on Tuesday told the father of a Parkland, Florida student killed in the February 14 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that the Florida-based supermarket chain would not be making a donation to the school’s student fund.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Parkland shooting survivor, who recently turned 18 and is now a legal adult, has become a boycott bully who has had some considerable success is getting some pusillanimous major corporations to bow to his increasingly unreasonable demands. This past weekend, however, the boycott bully fell victim to what usually brings down most self-proclaimed tyrants – overreach. He began by attempting to instill fear into grocery giant Publix, Florida’s largest private employer, with call of a boycott because Publix supports the candidacy of a pro-NRA politician. Well, Hogg started by calling for a simple boycott, but got a little carried away and wound up demanding Publix donate $1,000,000.00 to his private anti-gun fund. Thankfully, the good folks over at Publix had the common sense to turn down David Hogg’s demand to pay what amounts to nothing more than extortion. Good for you, Todd Jones, hopefully more corporations will follow your lead and stand up to the boycott bully. 

Last week leftist revolutionary Parkland student gun control activist David Hogg demanded Publix give $1 million to the Stoneman Douglas Victim’s fund to atone for donating a reported $670,000 in recent years to Adam Putnam, a pro-NRA Florida Republican running for governor. Hogg led a die-in inside Publix stores last Friday to protest Publix’s support for Putnam, who is currently Florida’s Agriculture Commissioner.

Just before the start of the die-ins Friday afternoon Publix announce it was suspending political donations for a period of review. A Publix customer service representative told this writer Friday evening Publix had taken no decision at that point on Hogg’s million dollar demand. The die-ins reportedly only took place at two stores in Parkland and one in Orlando. Publix has hundreds of stores throughout Florida and has expanded into the Southeast.

Fred Guttenberg, whose 14-year-old daughter Jaime Guttenberg was killed in the massacre, wrote on Twitter about the phone calls he had with Jones and how Jones told him Tuesday the die-in had politicized the situation such that he would not come to Parkland to meet with the victims and families, nor would Publix make a donation to the student fund.

Hogg’s million dollar demand was made via Twitter, “I call on @Publix to donate double the money they gave to Putman to the Stoneman Douglas Victims fund, $1,000,000. And never support an A rated NRA politician again.”

On Tuesday Hogg posted a request for a face to face meeting with Jones, prompting Guttenberg to point him to his own conversations with Jones. Hogg was also still demanding money from Publix.

Publix is one of the few corporations to stand up to the 18-year-old tyrant David Hogg. FedExFox News Channel and My Pillow are among those who have rejected Hogg’s boycott bullying. source

      We know every time extreme incriminating sensitive information comes out they will pull a trigger to set someone off. Mk Ultra has been around for decades and with SSRI’s Big Pharm demon people makers they have plenty of arsenal. Stay aware of your surroundings- they will pull something out soon. Likely a practice drill going real again.

      Here we have a kid no long out of diapers and not many year learning to wipe his own ass . And we the adults are allowing these tide pod eating , condom sniffing , dope smoking , keg drinking , bath salt sniffing , sex addicts , law breaking children to decide our fate as a country ? What the hell has America come too ? The Bible tells us that GOD told HIS prophet as for MY people , children are their oppressors , and women rule over them . Oh MY people , they that lead the cause thee to err , and destroy the way of thy paths ( KJV- Isaiah 3:12) . Why have we the grown ups become so stupid . The diffinition of stupid is to have intelligence to know right from wrong and choose to do that which is wrong . Every nation on earth that gave up their weapons soon suffered at the hands of evil . Look it up , history repeats itself iver and over again as evil tyrants like Hitler disarm the citizens and soon murder those the tyrant dislikes . Even Jesus used a wipe made from a scourge and ran the evil scum from the temple and said you have made MY FATHER’s house a den of theives . We are being tight that even evil can live among the people . Stupidity ! Stupidity !! Stupidity !!! The Bible tells us to put evil away from among us . The many like apples will be corrupted by the few rotten apples . The biggest problem I see is nut doctors are telling us that those with problems of evil are to be tolerated . Those nut doctors are satanist . Anton Lavey another nut also headed the satanist church in California pushing evils and hurts upon humans . If you think that this world is going to get better and evil will behave itself then you are stupid ! What we are seeing is evil like a snake raising up its head to destroy the people . We the people the government need to deal with it . Time to break out the hoes and snake away ! Until the Lord comes we are to deal with evils and destroy their sources . If we do nothing and allow idiots to lead America into disarming themselves then rapist will rape your children and wives and more than likely kill you . Look at Europe this is now happening to them . Islamic terriost have even run them from their own homes . They are loosing their country . Why because they ollowed idiots to rule over them and children to oppress them . Now they are paying the price . Look it up on YouTube , Muslims are destroying Europe , raping children and women and killing the men . Police are running from mobs as they turn over and torch their police cars . Is this what we want ??? I say Hell No ! We need to start dealing with the idiots pushing these agenda of the NWO vatican natzi Esau Edomite luciferian one world take over government and religion . Then we have their buddies the UN Muslim to be used to disarm America set up by Obama 2015 Christmas with a UN treaty . Since then they have filled America with UN Muslim troops . Jade Helm operation under Obama pushed on Texas and other surrounding states almost started the disarm round up . But you don’t mess with Texas ! They called up their guards to watch these foreign troops running around in their back yards ! Obama told them because they called up the guard to protect the people that they had committed Treason . They told fly drawing Muslim sodomite , No you have committed Treason by going against the Constitution and bringing in foreign troops to disarm America and take it over . These children trying to follow evils agenda being given to them are still wet behind their ears . And if we allow them this entertainment of ignorance and the false media to produce it then we will fall to our enemies ! The Trojon Hourse is within our gates , even today . We must burn it to the ground before they spring forth upon us while we sleep !

      That jerk Hogg is well into his twenties. His mom works for CNN and his dad the government. This brat wants to make a name for himself.
