And a big fat check.

I caught their act on the news last night. Typical halfwitted "wished they experienced the 60's so this is their chance to act up" pacifists.

I think we should be concerned about incidents like this. For better or for worse, the private shopping mall has replaced our "public square." These men were wearing shirts with a political message and apparently they were thrown out of the "public square" because the private owners didn't like the message.

What if the T-shirts read "Jesus loves you"?

or "support our troops"

or "abortion stops a beating heart"

Unless the message is profane, obscene, or libelous to individuals or groups, then we should protect the expression even though it's a private shopping mall. This is because the private shopping mall *is* our public square.

The mall put main street out of business, and therefore has a responsiblity to permit the political discourse that once occurred on main street in the public square.

A better solution is for communities to simply zone out covered shopping malls as health hazards or something like that.

Now, it appears that the mall owner and "authorities" have decided to bend over to monetary interests and avoid continuing the bad publicity that their actions have generated so far.

So, the score is now, Constitution: 1, PC Fascism: 0

:-)

Serves the mall officials right, the ninnies! Also, regarding whoever initially complained about their shirts, send 'em to me. I'll really give 'em something to complain about!
