Cellphone video captured a confrontation involving a Mall of America security guard telling a man wearing a "Jesus Saves" T-shirt that his shirt is "offending" shoppers at the famously large mall in Bloomington, Minnesota — and the guard ordered the man to remove the shirt or leave the mall.

What are the details? Alpha News — an independent outfit that covers news across the state that often goes unreported — said the confrontation took place last weekend, citing videos published on social media.

The Somali Muslims were offended. That’s the bit missing from this story.

Thanks Obama.

No doubt this will end up in the SCOTUS if they choose to take it that far.
Freedom of speech.

I have no doubt this is being driven by a large Somali muslim immigrant community.

At a gas station near the state line of NC/SC, there was a woman in a full burka.

When she entered, there was complete silence as no one had ever seen an enslaved woman before.

Did we have the right to demand she remove it? Hell no.

Thousands of Christians should show up at this mall with “Jesus Saves” shirts. The security guard would wet his undies.

A state may consider a shopping mall to be private property even if the public is invited to enter and patronize the businesses.
Similar to my thoughts about a WalMart greeter telling customers to go F themselves. Does he have the right to say it? Yes. Can he be fired if bosses say he can’t do that but he does?

Christians are busy waiting for the Rapture. ‘Occupy until I come?’ Can’t be bothered.

“Faced with an outpouring of criticism, mall executives asked to have the charge against Downs dropped four days after the incident occurred. Downs’ T-shirt was later donated and put on display at the New York State Museum.

About a year after his arrest, Downs and the New York Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the mall and the town of Guilderland, contending his arrest was unlawful and violated his free speech rights. An Albany County Court judge ruled in favor of the town and mall’s motion for summary judgment in April 2009.”

A great experiment: go into the Mall of America,at a peak hour,with a t-shirt that reads “There Is No God but God And Mohammed Is His Messenger”. Then let's see what happens!

Looks like Mall of America had some spare time between mass brawls and looting to harass a Christian.
