More lies. If you continue, you'll be reported.

>The fact that this is just an alt for Material-Fabulous

I have no affiliation whatsoever with that person. Stop spreading lies.

That's cute, but frankly I don't appreciate your ongoing efforts to suppress discussions about crime in Providence.

>No description of the perps?

WPRI is reporting that the perps were juveniles.

"3 juveniles asked him to empty his pockets and drop his bag. The man refused and was allegedly stabbed in the side of his back."

Let me ask you, Espeeste, why do you think this wine bar failed?

Do you think maybe it's because they didn't have enough customers to keep the doors open? If so, do you think maybe alienating people at least contributed to that? This isn't rocket science.

Or are you going to tell me that the wine bar didn't fail and they just closed because they want to spend more time with their families? And maybe import Sake? That sounds familiar.

And what if a democrat wants to buy a gun?

2 gun shops. 1 with extreme political signage and the other without. Where's the democrat shopping?

I don't think you understand wine demographics.

All of these places could be doing better without the politics.

Again, this isn't difficult to understand.

No business appeals to everyone. Why would anyone in their right mind choose to alienate half of their potential customers that their business does appeal to? It makes no sense.

Home Depot is essential and doesn't really have competition. Very poor example.

>Really seems like the lesson learned here is that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Strip clubs and vegan restaurants are no different than wine bars or fast food chicken sandwich restaurants. All of them only appeal to a portion of the population.

If the business owners at any of those places make strong political statements, they cut their customer base in half.

This isn't difficult to understand.

You know why Curt Schilling isn't in the Hall of Fame? It's not because he wasn't good enough. And it's not because he screwed the State of RI with his video game company. It's because you need 75% of the vote to get in, and that's not happening when you shoot your mouth off about politics.

The bottom line is...

Politically, the nation is divided roughly 50/50.

Any business that expresses strong political views is stupid.

You're speculating.

And where would Taylor Swift be today if she hadn't kept silent about her political views when she started in Nashville?

Yes, Chick-fil-A is thriving but I'd argue that they would be 2X thriving. I mean, half the country boycotts them.

This should come as no surprise. The lesson to be learned here is that business and politics don't mix well. When you alienate 50% of your potential customers, it's a recipe for failure.

>Also you edited your comment with all of the doxing information you previously posted.

Posting a link to something you wrote on reddit is not doxxing.

>It would be nice if you could stop stalking me

More irony.

> you aren't entering into this discussion in good faith

The irony...

>I live in Onlyville and just hide in my apartment because of all the crime outside

Probably.

>What's your main issue with them? Your criticisms in this thread seem kind of vague

The OP is throwing a fit because he presumably doesn't want people knowing that a car full of gangbangers fired a half dozen bullets at an innocent civilian couple in South Providence.

Amen. The Pipe is trolling hard and obviously karma fishing.
