Part 2: To Flock or Deflock: A Texas Mayor on the Process of Installing License Plate Cameras

So how did that impact your, that portrayal of you? How did that impact you personally, your business? You know, how did that impact you?

Well, I got plenty of haters now for sure.

I have had some really ugly comments made toward me and my family.

I was called a fascist.

I was called another few names that we won't mention while we're on this nice podcast.

People were told to boycott my business.

And what is your business? I own Greg, my Honda for almost 31 years now.

So I would tell people that you can't stay in a community and a family owned business for 31 years if you're doing it wrong.

And if I'm anything that what these people were saying in their comments, But we live in a world that we're on social media.

There are a lot of people that like to take and run with things.

And a lot of wrong statements were made, a lot of incorrect statements were made.

But the fact that KWTX ran that story and saw That these people were making not only threats to boycott my business, but some really, really ugly comments.

And still knowing, I've asked them, have you watched the whole thing? Have you taken the time to watch the whole thing? I get no answer.

I get no answer.

So, and it has, it

literally affected our business.

We were having an absolute record month.

At our Honda store this month.

And it got very quiet for about 48, 72 hours.

A lot more quiet than it has been in a long time.

And appreciate the response from loyal customers that wanted to come and continue.

You know, hey, I'm not listening to that.

And I appreciate that.

But it's the most unprofessional that I've ever been.

And I have had an advertising experience.
