    Post Publix suspends political donations after David Hogg organizes 'die-in' in stores

    The supermarket chain Publix on Friday announced that it would suspend its political contributions to Adam Putnam, a Republican candidate for Florida governor, after being faced with overwhelming pressure to cut ties with him because of his fierce support for the National Rifle Association.

    “We would never knowingly disappoint our customers or the communities we serve,’’ Publix said in a statement Friday. “As a result, we decided earlier this week to suspend corporate-funded political contributions as we reevaluate our giving processes.’’

    The announcement came moments before “die-in” protests organized by 18-year-old gun-control activist David Hogg began at several Publix supermarkets, forcing store managers to reroute shoppers around the protesters, who lay on the floors of the aisles. At an Orlando supermarket, store managers fetched grocery items for customers who stood to watch but mostly went on shopping, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

    At two Publix supermarkets in Parkland, survivors of the February shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shouted “USA, not NRA!” as customers navigated their shopping carts around them on the floor, according to the Associated Press. Counterprotesters supporting the NRA turned up at one of the stores, where a near-confrontation almost occurred between two men before police intervened.

    Wow, the bullying is reaching a fever pitch. And these weak-kneed corporate responses.

    Time to add Publix to the boycott list...

As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E

    The sorosjugend anti fascist fascists have spoken.

    Publix should have called the police the second these Communists started lying down in the aisles.

    Oh well, Phuk Publix.

    I wouldn't say it backfired on him, but it did damage the Leftist Communist's flagship causes.

    I hope they get the idea that David Pigg is not a good choice for poster boy for their progressive causes.

    It's too bad Publix didn't have him arrested. David Pigg is the kind of animal that will turn on his masters when he feels they slighted him in some way. He needs to be put in the NICS registry as a person most likely to harm himself or others and not be allowed to purchase any firearms.

    He has the face of evil determination. He ALWAYS looks haughty, smug, and angry. I don't think a smile ever paid a visit to that face; if it did, it was more of a leering smile.

    His handlers need to keep a close eye on him. He's the type who looks like a future mass murderer, just waiting for the opportunity and place to "let loose."

    Just looking at him gives me the creeps.

    Someone should have stomped on their necks while they were down on the ground.

    That's the same feeling I get from looking at him.

    They'll gladly go from opposing guns to using them in soros cultural revolution.

    Someone allegedly swatted hogg. This is beyond stupid. It's not like the isp or cell carrier doesn't have records or anything.

    Too bad a few heavyweight linebackers didn't just use them as rugs when they laid on the floor. Rib cages cracking could be an interesting pastime....
