    If they aren’t the problem … then the boycott shouldn’t be a problem for them then.

    If you’ve done nothing wrong, then nothing bad should happen to you.

      “If you’ve done nothing wrong, then the angry mob I’ve riled up by telling them you’re a child murderer won’t hurt you.”

      This isn’t a defense of Loblaws. Your thinking is just wildly wrong, and inherently blames victims.

        Your example is not at all comparable to a corporation facing music over profiteering.

        The angry mob in your example doesn’t see proof and is not the same as a shopper who is able to experience the price-gouging right in front of their eyes.
