I heard WTOP’s mini-blurb on the event. They included a tiny piece of their interview with you (I think it was all of three words).

However… you did come across positively and the WTOP reporting was honest and non-biased.

Maureen Wood is amazing! She must have spent her whole Monday driving around, sitting in her car, taking pictures, talking to managers, drinking iced tea. What do you plan to do tomorrow?

Save, I also doubt that there are borders, at least as YOU describe them…but I am sure that there are rules, and very severe consequences for breaking them. Now, since we do not have Heaven on Earth here, and I’m sure that none of us would want to go to the other one prematurely, you might want to consider what you say and apply it to the rule of law on earth, at least for the time being. According to the rule of law, the illegal aliens are “sinning” constantly. You might want to think about that.

Keep up the good work. You have amazing restraint.

Mr. Greg.
you are a frustated man. I feel sorry for you and all the ones that support you. I hope God forgive you. ask to yourself if there are frontiers,borders in heaven. When a latino or a caucasian dies
do you think God will separate them of course not. You don’t want any illegals in your community but let me ask you this question have you check your status to go to heaven, examine yourself be a good samaritan God is not going to let selfish peolple in. Don’t waste your time talking with every store manager look for God he is the way the thruth and life maybe you felt happy when you saw all those poor people protesting trying to get a resolution on their status, that happiness that you felt will go away is going to be there only for a short of time.But when God gives happiness and peace no body can take it away from you.
Think about it maybe you look happy outside, but in the inside you are a frustated man
God bless you
save
remember God has never loose a battle, but you will loose this one.

It’s by across from the Burlington Coat Factory at Potomac Mills Mall. I found it about three weeks ago. I love their ceasar chicken wrap!

There’s a Red Robin in PWC? Cool. I was unaware.

A follow up to Greg’s post-

I went to the “vigil” after the press conference, which started at Sams Club across from Potomac Mills Mall. Since they are boycotting most businesses in Prince William I went into Sams Club to let their management know that there were protestors on the corner of their property, and since they were boycotting them I couldn’t understand why they would let them on their property. Well a few minutes later they moved across the street onto Potomac Mills Mall property.

I called mall security and once again asked why protesters were allowed on their property and told them that I patronize the mall and didn’t appreciate them being there. I was told that they were aware of the situation and were looking into it. I stated that I hope they were going to be told to leave. They said they could not comment.

The next thing I know, two unmarked police cars showed up along with mall management. The protesters were told to move across the street onto the sidewalk. Red Robin, a restaurant is located across the street and instead of staying on the sidewalk they moved up the hill onto Red Robins property.

So once again I went into the Red Robin, asked to talk to the manager and while I was waiting bought an iced tea to go. When the manager came out I told her about the boycott and that Mexicanos Sin Fronteras was on their property protesting. She was not happy.

I went and sat in my car to see what would happen and the next thing I know four unmarked and one marked police cars show up across the street at the mall. One unmarked car parked in Red Robins parking lot. The police then told the protesters to stay on the sidewalk. I took a couple of pictures and left around 2:20.

I went to Wal-Mart, which is beside the Sams Club, bought a digital camera, told the manager I was spending my money there because they were being boycotted. He shook my hand and thanked me.

So folks when you are patronizing businesses this week in Prince William make it a point to let the management know. They appreciate it.

Greg, Where was Manes during this mini-rally?

I did a drive by all the shopping centers on the right hand side of the road between Manassas Shopping Center on Mathis to Westgate. I only saw signs in about 6-7 windows and they were all Latino named establishments or foreign grocery stores. It appears that no other businesses caved to this blackmail, at least on the side of the road I was checking. I did see several establishments with Spanish names who did not have a green sign in the window.

I also saw a fair amount of what appeared to be middle class hispanics out and about, going about their normal lives.

Thank you so much for the report, Greg. I am amazed that you were able so sit and listen to all that crap. You must have a stronger stomach than I do.

Good job, Greg. Novatownhall and even NLS have posts up urging people to shop in PWC this week. I’ll be making a trip or two myself.
