First, it was MAGA hats; now it is “Jesus Saves.” A person in America should be free to wear a t-shirt promoting Islam, the BLM movement, or even bearing a pro-LGBTQ message if they wish. And so should people who wear shirts that say “Jesus Saves.”

As Robert Spencer pointed out earlier today, See here:

The Left would love to make the First Amendment a thing of the past. If we aren’t careful, we won’t only have to watch what we say, but what we wear.

I think the “problem” with the shirt is that it crossed out the “Coexist” logo.

Prayers for this soldier for Christ. Remember when America believed in Freedom of Religion and Speech?

This story has been posted 50 billion times this week.

I see people get gang tackled for posting a random vanity, but the same crap gets repeated in news over and over and over and over and over....with no admonishment from anyone.

lol- the left should be railing against it- but of course Christian oppression is involved, so they had to make a tough choice- burn down cities because of racism? or allow the white supremacist to kick a black man out because he loves Jesus-

This is not a 1A issue. The 1A only protects you from government oppression. It does not protect you from oppression by private individuals.

If anything, this is a property rights issue. The Mall of America is private property. In general, owners of private property get to set their own rules.

Ah, but there could be a catch. The federal government prohibits discrimination based on religion. It’s a long shot, but the guy might have a case there.

But a jihadi could wear an “Islam Is The Light” T-shirt and all would be well. It’s the Caliphate of Minnesota, after all.

So go admonish them. Problem solved.

You're just as good as anyone else... or almost.
Go to admonishing. Admonish the hell out of 'em. Make it a project for the day.

It’s a civil rights issue, because of denial of equal access.

I’m thinking he needs to file a lawsuit for discrimination and use the proceeds to build a new church

Let the stupid libtards pay the man

Sounds like the guy should go to the Mall with multiple t-shirts one under the next, each one touting a different religion. That would be funny. Gets told to take one off, there’s different religion’s shirt right under it.

Unconstitutional and illegal, of course.

But it’s really about Jesus.
