Reply to comment by GreenTunicKirk in 902 Brewing to host Paul Fireman backed event by el_tigrox

The whole point of a boycott is to hurt the business to show them that doing things against the community needs isn't ok. You can support other local businesses. Being critical, frankly, does a whole lot of nothing. Boycott them. Hit them in the wallet, where it hurts.

Yup it’s a tried and true method of protest for a reason.

except when their is social media - they already acknowledged they did no digging into the org , looks good at face value - booked it for that and regret it but can not cancel the event due to agreements .

They know they fucked up at this point and i genuinely believe they regret it

I don't think a boycott of 902 would be effective in this situation, as it really distracts from the real issue which is the park. I am *really* trying to be fair to 902 and their position of neutrality, regardless of my own opinion, and if it comes to a point that I stop giving 902 business then so be it.

I understand wanting to be fair to them, and it sucks, but associating with this sort of thing that is actively attempting to damage your community, then blaming everyone else for being upset, is the issue. That’s what they have been doing with this situation. Boycotting businesses associated with this group shows others to not risk doing so in the future. That’s how you show the guy he isn’t welcome
