Protesters Swarm Beverly Hills Hotel

7. I went to several articles on the boycott

I understand why some people refuse to boycott.
They've been going there for years and know a lot of people that work there
To the Dorchester Collection Groups credit, they are making up the lost salaries and tips and stuff
But what seems to be missing by the boycotters critics I think are a few pertinent details:

1. It's not a boycott of the BHH. It's a boycott of Dorchester Collection Holdings. So it extends to more than that single property

2. Many critics of the boycott want to know when the boycotters are going to stop driving, etc because lots of oil producing countries have Sharia Law. The boycott, as has been explained by Leon, Branson and others is about the decapitation and stoning penalties. The boycott is not about Sharia Law

3. Many, like the Stonewall Group, oppose it because they don't think it'll work.
You never know until you've tried. Many seemingly failed protests were wildly successful

4. It's not just liberal Hollywood that's boycotting. Billionaire Richard Branson is one of the key people voicing his support for the boycott by both word and deed. No part Virgin Group spend a dollar at anything that's owned by Dorchester Holding.
