There absolutely would be people protesting the store for being "racist" and harassing this dude. Companies are always going to cave to public outcry, write or wrong.

I asked about the crime rate because you brought up him wanting to build a bike path to avoid a certain area. So I asked what the crime rate was for that area, since YOU brought it up. Or is he a racist bigot for not wanting to ride his bike through high crime areas?

The Bike Path is not about hte not going to the South Side. He was fighting for the Bike Path and saying it would not lead to the people from the South said coming there .

Matson is a conservative who opposes high taxes, but Matson was also politically active in leading an effort to build a waterfront bike path to a beach near his own home. As part of that effort, he got the government to make the beachs old sea wall a historic landmark and worked to convince his racist neighbors that that improving the beachfront would not mean they saw an influx of people from the South Side.

EDIT to add: As for the young man who was shot in the back. If he was the person who did the drive by I would have liked him to pay for this crimes in a court of law. Not be shot in the back while unarmed.
