Picketing is not walking into a business and threatening the owner. The implications of the OP and subsequent comments is that thugs walked into an establishment and threatened the owner (not physically). Even picketers are subject to certain rules, it isnt a free for all, and they are certainly not allowed into the establishment they are picketing. Now, if the OP used language that was not precise, and people picked up on the error and ran with it, and this entire thread is based on a complete misunderstanding, and really several residents walked into the establishment and had a cordial conversation with the owner about the nature of the business and the nature of the population it catered to, and that he is miscalculating the customer base and to reconsider the TV and the owner did just that (whew!), then, this thread is just a waste of time. Perhaps the OP can enlighten us what he or she really meant.
