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 states 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 Thursdays 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.

Hogg has "demanded" a number of events that never took place. Which is well for him, because if he does manage to social-media his way to shutting down a single store, they slam him for extortion with damages to show.
I'm sure hoping he doesn't shut up before November, though.

Ignore Hogg. If I were running one of these companies, I’d call this phony out publicly.

Sounds an awful lot like extortion to me... Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and their ilk have made $Millions over their careers with these tactics.....

“He thinks he is Jesse Jackson.”
He is Jesse Jackson, in a manner of speaking. Jesse Jackson bathed his hands in MLK’s blood after his shooting. In a metaphorical way, Hogg has bathed his hands in the blood of the victims of the Parkland shootings. I like this kid. If he becomes the face of the Democratic party, I see many GOP victories in the years ahead.

Looks like Hogg's chalking prank didn't go so well this morning. Rain and a small turnout made it laughable. His scheduled 4 pm "die in" will also have to compete with the non-stop thunderstorms we're experiencing. Hoggy's 15 minutes have been up for some time now.

"Have you ever seen arms that skinny on a guy?" It's gross. Something is wrong. That is the age where hormones kick in and young men start to develop muscle tone. I imagine the most physical work he has ever done is tapping on an iPhone.

Yeah, a “come to Jesus moment” in a back alley, to lie on the pavement for sufficient time to consider the direction his life is taking. Sometimes extreme pain is the best therapy!

Obviously his father was the kind of FBI asshole thats bringing the FBI down.Yup, it's pretty obvious by now, David Hoggo's father is/was one of the bad apples in the FBI with how his son has gone all NAZI over this issue trying to protect the deep state.
