Starbucks has every right to not be used as a stage by either side of the issue. Their mission (quite rightly) is to make money for their owners, not to be political advocates.

Fixed it for you!

I agree with you there. Perhaps a compromise position would have been for the CEO to ask that gun-rights advocates refrain from holding any more unofficial “appreciation days”, and that anti-gun weenies stop picketing.

I mean, “Can’t we all just get along?”

Or, apropos Seattle: “Can’t we all just get a bong?”
