Then where's the criminal charges or law suits? @_@
They don't exist, because you claiming it doesn't make it so.

So crimes are only committed if they are charged and prosecuted? LOL How I wish!

No, crimes are only committed when they fit the legal definition of a crime... hence the word "crime."
So show me a legal definition of people boycotting, picketing, and choosing not to shop somewhere being the crime of extortion. @_@

Right..like extorting a company to comply to your desires. It's very clearly defined.

I don't need to cite shit. Everyone knows extortion is a crime:


"Extortion is a severe criminal offense that occurs when an individual compels another person to deliver property, services, or perform an act against their will by instilling fear. It is treated as a felony under both state and federal law"

"Under the concept of corporate personhood, a corporation is treated as a separate "person" with its own legal rights and responsibilities. This allows a company to exist indefinitely, own property, enter into contracts, and sue or be sued."

Then why hasn't anyone pressed charges or brought a lawsuit? @_@

Boycotts are not considered extortion because they rely on the lawful exercise of free choice and freedom of speech, rather than the threat of illegal harm, violence, or property seizure.
The fundamental legal and ethical differences between the two include:

The Nature of the "Threat": Extortion involves a threat to commit a criminal act, such as violence, property destruction, or exposing a personal secret to force someone to hand over money. A boycott threatens only the withholding of future business, which is a protected right in a free market.
Right to Association: No business or entity has an inherent, legally enforceable right to an individual's money. Consumers and workers have the fundamental freedom to choose who they do business with and where they spend their income.
Public and Political Expression: Boycotts are often utilized as tools for social or political change. When a group peacefully organizes to stop buying from a company to protest their policies, it is generally protected under the First Amendment.
Lack of Unlawful Coercion: Extortion requires a form of wrongful coercion that deprives the victim of their free will or business assets. A boycott relies on persuasion and collective consumer power; companies are entirely free to ignore the boycotters or present their own counterarguments.

As I've repeatedly said, threats of violence are illegal and should be prosecuted. But as usual, you're just ignorant and conflating that with a boycott.

Because it's hard to bring charges against an anonymous mob of threatening troglodytes.

Yeah, keep lying to yourself. That's a surefire way to remain ignorant and angry forever.

[Magical Realist]

I'm not angry at all. I just know extortion when I see it.

Too bad you clearly don't. 9_9
