David Hogg puts Publix in crosshairs, demands $1 million donation and anti-NRA pledge
The Washington Times ^ | 24 May 2018 | Victor Morton

David Hogg is trying to shake down Publix.

The public face of the gun control movement demanded $1 million Thursday from the Florida-based grocery chain in a tweet, just one day after calling for a “die-in” protest at its stores.

Publix is being targeted by Mr. Hogg for its support of Adam Putnam, a Republican gubernatorial candidate who is now the state’s agricultural commissioner. The Tampa Bay Times reported earlier this week that Publix had given $670,000 during the last three years to Putnam campaigns.

Mr. Hogg not only sought atonement money from the grocery chain in Thursday’s tweet, he also demanded a pledge of ideological fealty to the gun-control movement.

“I call on @Publix to donate double the money they gave to Putman [sic] to the Stoneman Douglas Victims fund, $1,000,000. And never support an A rated NRA politician again,” he wrote.

Sounds an awful lot like extortion to me...

Any DOJ folks freed up that can look into this?

He demands. Really? Or what? You know his parents must have been terrified the past 18 years. Spare the rod, spoil the attention brat.

Jail time plus getting neutered. Do you really want offspring out of this kid?

I hope Publix studiously ignores this little punk.

Ditto.

Is he over 18 so he can be tried as an adult?

It would be great to see the same thing happen at Publix that happened at Chic-fil-a.

Too bad there are no Publix markets by me.

Publix should hire people to jump on this punk with both feet.

In a court of law, of course.

I’ve noticed, for a long time, that the left never asks, they always “demand”. It’s perplexing. Not the way to win friends and influence people.
