I just HAD to tell you guys this...5yr War Anniv Content...

[Razorhunter]

Ok, so the other day was teh 5yr Anniversary of the war guys, as we all know.

SO, I work in a fairly well to-do part of town, as I'm a contractor, and the only way to stay busy with remodel jobs all year long, is to work in areas such as this.
Anyhow, I was in a really nice, upscale neighborhood, which now has it's own gas station inside the subdivision. Kind of weird, but there is a BP/Amoco Fuels station inside this subdivision.
Anyhow, people start walking in the other day, which was the 5th Anniversary of the war on Terrorism.
So as SOON as ANY American person would hit the door on the way in, the freaking scumbags inside would LOUDLY and RUDELY shout "NO AMEREEKANS ALLOWED TWOODAY!!!

WTF?

"No Americans??? You guys are going to go out of business if you start telling this to everyone that comes in here today!" (a friend of mine said in surprise)


-The Store Clerk Replied with : "Then let us go out of business starting today!!"


Needless to say, the store was run by a bunch of these freaking Islamic/Arab/Iraqi guys, (I dont' even know WHAT to call them these days!!!)
I want to call them all terrorists, because IF you've got an attitude like THIS, while here in America, then you might as well be in the same boat as any other terrorist!!!

Anyhow, I just thought I'd share this with you guys. Never in my life would I have dreamed something like this would have happened.
EVERYONE that lives in this HUGE neighborhood is spreading the word about these idiots, and everyone is banning together to BOYCOTT the hell out of this store. It's been all I can do, just to stop myself from driving out of my way, down to this store, just to give these idiots a peace of my good ol' American mind.
Anyhow, before I get TOO worked up, I will stop, but I just had to let you guys know what type of BS is going on in our own backyards and neighborhoods right now... We allow these foreigners over here on U.S. soil, and protect them, and give them freedom, and business grants, and they thank us like THIS???

Wow.... Thats insane.

Frag and clear

Find some one else that can back up what happened and call the TV station and put those bastards out of business. I would picket the place if I lived near by.

Someone needed to go in with a video camera, holding it low so they don't necessarily see it right away, and get them on tape.

Then go across the street, put up a white screen, and project their antics (with audio!) for all to see.

You'd have news coverage, protests, and a closed gas station before too long.

Since the station is a franchise I would write to BP/AMACO and let them know exactly what happened. Then I would tell them that you are in touch with the local news media and that you are in the process of organizing a boycott of all BP/AMACO stations in your area until the problem is addressed.

Companies don't really care about stuff like this until you hit them where it counts. When you find a corporations center of gravity it is amazing how far they are willing to go to protect their interests.

Well said, I would second that.

If it was a private business, I would say "let them do what they want" and let the free market decide how their business fares. That is the most American thing you can do. Free speech is a right, and you're also responsible for your words and actions. If they act like idiots, they get no business and all is solved.

However, since it's a franchise, its going to give the parent company a black eye if word gets out. As already suggested, notify the parent company and get the news media involved to pressure them. I'm sure there is a clause in their contract that prohibits them from putting their company in a bad light on purpose. Pressure from potential customers, the media outlet, and the parent company themselves should be plenty if they all address the issue together.

[graffex]

Wow, I would have given the sand people a strong peice of my mind. I would also definitely be out there picketing in front of the gas station.

[Gump]

I'd be really surprised if anything ever comes from this. Now, if he would have said no "Mexicans today" , or No Blacks, or No Gays etc...., he would have been in a world of s***. It's sad but true
