#BoycottWoolworths campaign grows

Ok please understand that this is not illegal. The consumer has a right to not purchase something. Secondly the people in South Africa need to be informed as to what is happening in Palestine. And this is a way to do it. This movement is not only happening in South Africa. I do feel it might be unfair to pick on woolies, but its just a matter of creating awareness.

Ofcourse the consumer has a right not to purchase something, but blocking tellers is a whole nother issue. Mark my words this will be one of those things which might permanently tarnish all the good of all Muslims in this country and possibly abroad.

again as you can see this is happening around the globe.

Its not blocking tellers and deciding at the last minute you do not want to purchase an item

Definition of a flash mob. and this act does fit

No it does not, nothing you do in this regard can be classified as a flash mob. It is a protest. They have their freedom of speech, but they mustn't get all upset when they get told to fek off by the rest of the patrons in Woolies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_mob

The term, coined in 2003, is generally not applied to events and performances organized for the purposes of politics (such as protests), commercial advertisement, publicity stunts that involve public relation firms, or paid professionals.[7][10][11] In these cases of a planned purpose for the social activity in question, the term smart mobs is often applied instead.

Right of admission reserved? I would imagine most Woolworths stores are private property and any shopper is allowed in at their sufferance?

That is the problem that this lot don't seem to get.

We are not necessarily against their opinion, we are MASSIVELY against their methods, which will unfortunately turn our opinion against theirs and yes will more than likely tarnish all the good Muslims out there, which is unfortunate because I do feel there are more good Muslims than idiots who partake in these protests.

I might actually have to go shopping there then.... I will definitely tell you precisely where to get off and I'm sure most of the other shoppers will as well.

For someone who studied and perhaps achieved a degree in Financial Management (Masters), you are quite arrogant and ignorant. I don't have to search and quote anything, shows how much you appreciate our Constitution. There is nothing to debate here as you cannot even understand the meaning behind "intent", though your intention is very clear in your quest.
