Boycott

[392cobra]

Victoria, Texas is a town about 80 miles west of Houston.....

Local Hispanic leaders there, in opposition to pending Immigration Legislation, boycotted all Caucasian owned businesses in the Victoria area this weekend as a demonstration of their economic impact on the community.

The boycott was declared a success by the Hispanic community, noting that revenue in Caucasian owned businesses was down by 19%. Business owners declared the boycott a success as well, pointing out that shoplifting was reduced by 77%.

And...shoppers reported they could actually hear English being spoken throughout the stores for the first time in recent memory...and customers paid with real money, not government cards....

If business was down 19%, and shoplifting was down 77%, then the store is actually up.......(figure figure figure, compute compute compute, carry the six....................)


58% to the good!

THAT will show those Hispanic business "leaders"!

Maybe the store owners should pay some radical group to keep them out of the stores under the guise of a boycott. Sounds like a really great way they got their point across.

Didn't the same thing happen here in Dallas? It seems I remember some of the same results when they started that crap here. That was right before the Police started the Mexican Rodeo, round-up.

The Mexican Rodeo is working in Irving, Texas very, very well.

So I don't suppose we could do this with the government...could we?
