To SELL those T-shirts on your private property, and then have someone arrested for wearing what you've sold them from your property, seems the height of hypocrisy.

Well, it appears that the T-shirts were not pre-made with those messages, but that the It appears that Dowds ordered them from a shop that made up T-shirts to order. I can't imagine that the people who work in such shops are very highly trained in law or free speech principles. They probably just put down whatever is asked for. It's hard to hold the mall owners responsible for the action of a $5.00 an hour teenager only waiting to get off work so he could go blow his paycheck on video games at the arcade.

The Dowds obviously did this with the intention of creating controversy. It seems a bit hypocritical for them to complain that they got controversy. In fact, I suspect they are reveling in their fifteen minutes of fame.
