When Pigs Fly… Publix Will Not Pay Teen Tyrant David Hogg’s Million Dollar Demand
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 30, 2018 | Kristinn Taylor

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. 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.

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.

Yup. It’s really just all fun and games for the kids. The “cause” is mostly irrelevant. I remember clearly those days. Sure, there were a few fanatics, but they were weird and, frankly, kinda dumb and easily duped.

Camera Hogg is the wrong color or Succe$$ful extortions.

His rumored "die-in" at a Trump Hotel won't end well.

Why dont these corporations just match charitable donations made by their employees? Think of what a powerful change that would make in the corporatist poltical lobby business.

Siding with the Hoggs is a good way for 50% of their customers to get piping mad and not shop at Publix.

They chose wisely...

Hey, if they are like all those protests we had in the late 60’s and early 70’s, it’s still a great way to meet chicks. :)

I'm not sure the fey and scrawny little Hogg is all that interested in chicks.

Hogg’s problem is with the Constitution. But the Constitution won’t pay him either, so it’s on to blackmail. Kudos to Publix.

> None of these people have anything to do with any school shooting. Why are they harassing these people? <

Just as NFL fans have nothing to do with police shootings. But that’s one thing about liberals (David Hogg, BLM, etc.). Their cause MUST also be your cause. And if you disagree - or if you want to remain neutral - you’re branded as a hater.

The “die in” is divisive political rhetoric. Publix customers by the millions would be more than angry if Publix succumbed to this political rhetoric. These children are genuinely oblivious to the hostility their fascist tactics engender.

Late medieval abuses

Indulgences became increasingly popular in the Middle Ages as a reward for displaying piety and doing good deeds, though, doctrinally speaking, the Church stated that the indulgence was only valid for temporal punishment for sins already forgiven in the Sacrament of Confession.

In the later Middle Ages, growth of considerable abuses occurred. Greedy commissaries sought to extract the maximum amount of money for each indulgence. Professional “pardoners”, who were sent to collect alms for a specific project, practiced the unrestricted sale of indulgences. Many of these quaestores exceeded official Church doctrine, whether in avarice or ignorant zeal, and promised rewards like salvation from eternal damnation in return for money.

“Isn’t this extortion? “Pay me a million or I’ll destroy your business”

Isn’t this the same thing that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have been pulling off for years? Publix should have never given in to David (camera) Hogg to begin with in regards to suspending donation to NRA.
