Boycott La Herradura PDF Print E-mail

By TheBizarOne, on Saturday, 19 April 2008


EDITED OPINION EDITORIAL

With the recent arrest of the owners of the La Herradura Mexican restaurant, and their illegal alien smuggling, making illegal workers pay off coyote debts with slave labor, working in these establishments for practically nothing or just tips and made to   live in crowded housing, basically operating on the same scale or worse then that of any other Organized Crime family in the USA, I think this site should formally organize a BOYCOTT of this place in Bradford (IF IT DOES OPEN AGAIN AND STAYS OPEN) to show the Illegal Owners/Organized Criminals of this place that WE BRADFORDIANS will not put up with this in our community.

Using the reports in the news and the Bradford, Era Article detailing the scheme gives proof of a good reason to boycott the place. The revelations of this illegal operation in Bradford well may not be fully proven, we all know that certain aspects of it, according to the Government can be proven at this time.

I apologize to those who where offended by my original rage of the possible re-opening of the place but you have to understand the logic behind it, to those I will say this...

I do sympathize with good, hard working people who may come here illegally just to try and make a good living and make their living conditions better than that of where they came from, BUT I, NOR YOU however should not support their activity or need to prosper in our country when they are NOT honest, NOT hard working people but no different than that of ruthless mobsters, skimming large sums of money for themselves while making the innocent immigrants some of you support so dearly to work long hours for tips, no overtime and forced to live in bad living conditions, and maybe personal threats making these conditions much worse than wherever they came from.

And since these restaurants where not operated or owned by the good hard working immigrants you support but the illegal, organized crime aspect of this case, I still call for a boycott and hope everyone agrees.

You can't expect privacy when in a public place. Thats the reason the Paparazzi aren't sued to the poorhouse by the richest people in the world. Even a 25 million dollar a movie career don't give you the right to tell people what they can and can't do in public. Until congress passes a law, it's legal for me to take a pic of anything my eye can see in public, this IS A MEDIA OUTLET, not traditional but it is (look at perezehilton.com, drudgereport.com)... yes if I took a pic of you in a private setting, then you can sue me. Until I get that pic of you from your bathroom window, don't bother. it will be a waste of your time.

I, like many others, will probably sue you to the poorhouse if you do this! I am, by law, allowed to frequent any eating facility I choose. You, by law (unless for editorial or legal purposes) are NOT allowed to post my photo publically without a release. This forum does NOT qualify as an ecitorial endeavor. 
It's Paparazzi, BTW.

Hey! Did you know that most of the chocolate in this country comes from child slave labor in Africa? Are you going to boycott that too? What about the million products we have in our homes that came from sweat shops? If you really had concern for the downtrodden, your boycott would reach huge proportions!
