Wait!!
Mall Cops!!
LOL!
This story came out in the local paper a couple of days ago. Basically, the mall had a rule that you couldn’t talk to anyone about anything other than mall business, or they could remove you. There is no way that rule could pass constitutional muster...
Nothing in this world would entice me to live in the land of fruits and nuts.
Why on Earth would a mall even entertain such a stupid rule written that way?
I GET what they likely meant, but the paper pushing dweeb that worded this should have received their pink slip by now.
When Judge Gaddis appears on my ballot I will vote no. He was apparently absent the day the Constitution was taught. The mall mentioned is about 8 minutes from my house. Too expensive to shop there.
It took 3 judges and 43 pages to tell them to go pound salt?
This is a gag, right?
i luuuvvvvvv this mall... dumb rule, but very nice mall...
I realize now why it takes so many years of law school to become a lawyer...and why they get such a bad rap.
To convince someone to pay $100’s per hour on such a CRAZY thing as this would require some serious levels of BS abilities.
This court room should be video taped and put on youtube so everyone can see such a spectacle and realize the horror knowing that its the LAW in action. Yikes!
“Fine weather we’re having, hey?”
“Citizens Arrressst! Citizens Arrressst!”
Speaking about anything else but Allah, while visiting that Muslim Community Center at Ground Zero, will probably be enforced much more drastically.
Another reason to NOT go to the mall — now we can look forward to being accosted by total strangers determined to annoy us with their personal fixations.
WTF?!?!?!
While I’m hardly shocked one judge actually ruled this was Constitutional - how the HELL is this mall getting a single customer???
$100 bucks says the owner of this mall donated to Obama.
“conversations between two strangers on non-mall related topics only if an application is submitted 4 days in advance and approved by officials.”
I would love to see this application for talking to strangers about un-mall related topics.
That is troubling.
“Not sure if I will meet a stranger while at the mall, but if I do, can we talk about un-mall related topics? Please? Oh and I will be coming to the mall in 3 days. Could you expidite the process and let me know?”
What happend to common sense?
I wouldn’t put it past California to have government-run malls, but the article doesn’t say one way or the other. Can anyone confirm whether the government does actually run this mall?
No sir, we are talking about the gas mileage of my Dodge minivan.
Get out of here, and don't come back.

Does the California Constitution’s “Free Speech” provision apply to restrictions by non-government entities? How else could this be a “constitutional” issue in a private business?
