Thread: Boycott 7-Eleven (saga continues)

We should continue to boycott 7-Eleven.

Bruno K., the man who was fired for wearing a Border Patrol hat off-duty while riding the bus, took a lie detector test and passed with flying colors, meaning, he did not challenge the illegal gang members to a fight in the parkinig lot (a false claim by the Basalt police chief and 7-Eleven, and the excuse for firing Bruno).

The test indicates that the Basalt police chief is lying, along with corporate 7-Eleven. Basalt is a town that consists mainly of illegals who service the rich and famous in hotels, restaurants, etc. in Aspen, Colorado.

Also, there were threads here about it, such as this one: http://tinyurl.com/3bfv82

Duh

We should always expect the pro-illegal alien apologists and supporters to lie and scream racism at every turn. That's what they do best. And, always remenber this, a Police Chief, no matter where they are in the country, is an APPOINTED position and is not elected like county sheriff's are. Therefore, a police chief is a political puppet of the Town Manager or Administration Board that appoints him to his position. The chief is as much a political hack who toes the line that the Town Manager tells him to as he is a law enforcement officer.

These government officials are obviously getting some kind of payments from the employers of these illegal aliens.

No problem staying out of 7/11 for me.

You can listen to this on radio now, along with Tom Tancredo making an appearance. Bruno is now on Peter Boyles show. Will continue on radio
with Tom Martino Show after Peter. Call In!!!!

Even though this URL was posted above, I tought it well worthwhile to post the article in it's entiretly here:

Aspen is swirling in controversy -- in coffee shops, in the newspapers and on Internet blogs -- after a 7-Eleven clerk in nearby Basalt was dismissed for an incident that resulted in five shots being fired through the store's window last month.

No one was injured, and the only casualty so far is the man who was fired -- the clerk who apparently offended two Hispanic customers by sometimes wearing a cap labeled "U.S. Border Patrol" around town. But he never wore it on the job.

While working on the night of June 26, according to police records, Bruno Kirchenwitz was confronted by two men who challenged him for wearing the cap, although he was dressed in 7-Eleven-approved attire at the time.

The men, who threatened Kirchenwitz at the time, returned later that night -- after Kirchenwitz had finished his shift -- and fired bullets through the front windows of the store. Although a cashier and five customers were in the store, no one was injured.

Two weeks later, Kirchenwitz was fired for supposedly having a poor performance rating, although he claims he's had "absolutely no complaints" for his service and never received a critical job rating. He said 7-Eleven told him his dismissal wasn't related to the June 26 incident.

Kirchenwitz is somewhat of a character in the Roaring Fork Valley, having worked as a laborer, bartender and store clerk for several years, sometimes living in a tent. He once wrote an eclectic column for the Aspen Times Weekly.

He is an outspoken critic of illegal immigration in an area where illegals are a large part of the work force that fuels the economy of the building, landscaping and hospitality industries in the resort area. He often wears his "U.S. Border Patrol" cap, which is commonly sold in novelty clothing stores throughout the nation, and a T-shirt that displays a Latino caricature and the slogan: "Jesus is Your Gardener."

Kirchenwitz is a legal immigrant who says he entered the country under sponsorship with his family about 35 years ago. He advocates immigration, but believes in strict enforcement of immigration laws.

Two so-called "persons of interest" have been identified by police in Basalt, where the store is located, but no one has been arrested or charged in the shooting. Kirchenwitz says police have store tapes that document -- with both video and audio -- the confrontation with the two customers, showing he did not provoke or enflame the incident.

Denver newspapers, which are notorious for not covering politically incorrect stories, have virtually ignored the issue. An Internet search of Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News archives resulted in locating a single story -- a short article July 14 -- about the controversy.

But the Roaring Fork Valley and Internet are alive with the issue, with strong support for Kirchenwitz and boisterous criticism of 7-Eleven. A sampling:

-- "I have a cap with an American flag on it. Is it OK to wear that, or am I just inviting trouble and bullets?"

-- "Mexicans wave the Mexican flag, wear anti-American shirts, boo us at sporting events, steal from us through tax evasion ... (and a man) wears a border patrol hat and the Mexicans shoot up a store."

-- "7-Eleven should hang their head."

Incredibly, a columnist for the Aspen Times suggested that Bruno was at fault in the incident for his "subtle provocation in dress and style." An editorial published June 29 said the newspaper "seriously question(s) the decision to wear clothing that only inflames the situation."

Consider, for a moment, the newspaper writing about a rape case and opining that she was partially at fault for wearing a short skirt "that only inflamed the situation." The outrage among readers would be monumental.

It is equally outrageous that Basalt police, having gathered witness statements and video evidence to support Kirchenwitz's story, haven't made an arrest in the three-week-old case.

If the tables were turned -- and Kirchenwitz had threatened two Hispanics wearing anti-U.S. apparel and fired gunshots to intimidate them -- he would be under arrest for assault and a hate crime.

So far the incident stands as another case of hypocrisy and the double standards of political correctness.

Same crap that JDL, B'nai Brith, the feminists and CAIR have been pulling for years. It's OK to denigrate our country, heritage, race or religion, (a Christian white male is "white trash", a "redneck" "Joe six-pack" etc.) God help you though if you suggest that one religion is intolerant, or that US foreign policy is too beholden to pressure groups etc. No surprise that the Hispanics would now jump on the bandwagon. Let's get back to basics - free speech means free speech. I have a constitutional right to express my opinion, you do not have a constitutional right not to be offended. So, to all of the above, kiss my ass.

Thanks. I had turned it off earlier but am listening again. Glad Tancredo is speaking out.

The Basalt police are pathetic. They won't investigate the shooting of 5 bullets into their store as a drive-by shooting because, they say, they can't be sure the shooters were shooting from a car! How ridiculous is that? The police know who the shooters are but aren't doing a thing about it. Instead, they blame Bruno for the shooting.

7-Eleven says they had some of their corporate employees spend "days" in Aspen investigating the incident in June. Those days included a weekend, if I recall correctly, indicating that their stay there was more of a jolly than work. After their "thorough investigation," the only thing that happened is that they fired Bruno.

In short, he is being blamed for the shooting and nothing is being done about the people who fired into the 7-Eleven.

The best thing is that Bruno is a HUGE supporter of our cause, namely, he's against illegal immigration. I hope he joins this group someday.

Duh

It seems that all evidence seems to be none existing when it involves illegals but if it was a black or a white person that did this there would be satellite feed from 5 different angles and 25 witnesses that saw it all!!!

I called and spoke to a Cyrstal in Customer Service. It does seem they are getting quite a few calls. I gave her an earful. I also asked her several questions:
1.) Does 7/11 follow U.S. employment laws?
ANSWER: I will send you a letter from our legal department regarding their response on the Colorado issue.
2.) Does 7/11 have a corporate wide policy that states they will only hire and employ LEGAL workers and U.S. citizens?
ANSWER: I will send you a letter from our legal department regarding their response on the Colorado issue.
3.) Crystal, have you read the letter from your own legal department?
ANSWER: Yes
4.) Then why aren't you answering these simple questions that I am asking?
ANSWER: I will send you a letter from our legal department regarding their response on the Colorado issue.

Whatever I get, if anything, I will post.

Sure it wasn't a PR firm handling this mess now? Sounds robotic to me....
