Crown America, owners of the West Manchester Mall in York, Pennsylvania barred reporters from speaking with people in line and even from taking notes:

I support private property rights but you don't check First Amendment at their door.

Some of the Twitter comments:

Pretty repressive, if you ask me.

Thank you for that lightman, it is indeed repressive. I am surprised to hear this as obviously today involved a national event which had been planned in advanced and reported on- Natural for many to want to report on it from all perspectives, and they shouldn’t be blocked from doing so.

Thanks again for reporting and linking.
Cheers;
SJ
