Boycott of the State of Florida


I recently read where many entertainers have removed venues in the state of Florida from their list of appearances.  Stevie Wonder led the charge followed by Madonna, Jay Z and Kanye West.  I guess you could joke about the “blind leading the blind,” but that would be in poor taste.   All of these singers can afford to live anywhere they please, yet they chose the USA and even raise their children here.  Our judicial system may be flawed at times, but it certainly is better than many other countries’ courts.   George Zimmerman was tried by a jury of his peers.  He was acquitted in the same state that Casey Anthony was acquitted of the murder of her daughter, yet we didn’t hear about any entertainers boycotting Florida when she was set free.  I wonder what their fans who were counting on attending their concerts think about them bailing out of their home state?  Not that I’m interested in attending any of their concerts, but if I did live in Florida and heard this, I’d boycott them.   I wouldn’t pay to download any of their songs, buy their CDs or attend any of their concerts outside of Florida, even if they were the half time show of the Super Bowl.  Enough said.
