No, for a coercion it is enough to try to raise an intimidation even on the basis of false claims or illusive threats. What you describe is already proven "assault".

Like attempted murder still is attempted murder ev en if the assault has not beenj successfully carried out. Or fraudery basing on trying to sell something that does not exist to somebody, remains to be fraudery nevertheless, no matter wshether the intended victim knows it from start on, or not.

In cases like this, the intention is what counts. Which is weikhted so heavily that courts can sentence the perpetrator even if he was unsuccessful and no material damage has been done.

Let's not twist and distort a very simple and very obvious story here. We all know very well what has been tried by McDonalds here. Shame on them.

And lets not make mountains out of molehills out of every obvious story either.

When these people loose their jobs or have their wages frozen because the Democrats that were elected force that sorry situation upon businesses, will it also be "shame on them" for not warning their employees?

Nobody was told who to vote for.

Unions have been doing this exact same thing for years. So my question to Mookie goes to you as well. Why haven't you complained when they did it?
They are still doing it! Where is your outrage for their actions? Is it only when it favors the Republicans that you have a problem with the practice?
