    Any of you leftist in here care to defend this. Is it okay with you to attempt to destroy a mans livelihood because he won’t fall in line?
    It’s a yes or no question.

    “Long Island, New York pizza shopowner is speaking out after he was canceled for flying a Trump flag in the back of his store.

    In a Thursday interview on "Varney & Co." with host Stuart Varney, Patio Pizza owner Guy Caligiuri explained that a woman who had come into store last Friday night to pick up an order noticed his flag and "took offense" after one of Caligiuri's employees explained it was his.“

    “The customer then announced that she was the administrator of a Facebook page and would post about the encounter on the social media platformwith the intent of driving Patio Pizza out of business.”

    I don't know about New York but down here if that happened, the man wouldn't be able to make enough pizza.

    Asks what's wrong with Liberals boycotting while personally boycotting the NFL. LOL

    As to the topic, boycotting is lame for any reason.

    If cancelling and boycotting a guy who's trying to make a living floats you boat of hate, then go for it. That he's white probably makes it all the more sweeter.

    When you have a business you don't show your deck hand of political issues because it's always going to offend someone.

    I can see it now, one goes to apply for a business license and one of the questions on the form is "what is your political affiliation?"

    "Conservative"

    "Denied!"

    Facebook had their employees working in Dirty Donalds campaign in 2016. She is a Facebook PAGE administrator not an employee.

    She was abusing her power and should be fired and criminally charged with something. This kind of intimidation can not be allowed.

    She's an admin for a page on Facebook, not an FB exec. That's like being a forum mod. Maybe tone down the hyperbole.

    Also, I don't get all these folks who are usually pro free speech and free market suddenly getting twisted up over someone exercising their 1A rights to effect a market solution.

    She doesn't work for Facebook. She just helps run a page. You want FB to shut her page down? I thought you all were against them "censoring" people.

    Im a righty, and I'll defend it. Theres nothing here thats illegal. Legitimate boycott tactics. Petty, imo, but legitimate.

    That being said, I'd be eating a lot of Patio Pizza if I lived nearby.

    He needs a bigger, taller flag and he'll do fine.

    Bullshit. Kaepernick sucked so nobody wanted him. Happens to lots of players every single year. Kaepernick wasn't special.

    Every time a business owner doesn't fall in line with the left they want their livelihood destroyed, their ability to support their family, feed their kids, etc destroyed. I guess all Trump supporters should starve to death according to the tolerant left. I think there was this political movement in germany 80 or so years ago that felt similarly to the modern day left....can't think of what they were called though.

    You're thoroughly missing the point. It isn't that she's deciding not to frequent the place anymore. That isn't the problem. It's that the left truly believes that your life should be destroyed if you are conservative. But clearly you're ok with that.

    I'm okay with boycotts. No where did she say she wanted his life destroyed, as if a post on an FB page could do that. I see you're just as much of a drama llama as the OP.

    I didn't claim she said it (maybe only respond to what I say....sound good?). I said it's what the left believes. Maxine Waters called for boycotts....what do you think happens if people boycott like she asked? Exactly what I said. You are clearly ok with the totalitarian ways of the left.

    But I see you don't really have a response so you can run along now.
