Why would any of your reasons be enough to get someone evicted from a mall...."Peace on Earth" If this were a conservative who had been tossed, this would become a religious issue....so where are all you Christians on this one????

Sounds like you're in favor of freedom of expression, NOT. According to the BBC story, and that's all I have to go by, the man brought the shirt at the mall and was sitting quietly eating at the food court. Not the sort of behavior that would require a confrontation by security. I'm glad he stood up for his rights to express himself, as long as he wasn't creating a disturbance. That's what America is suppossed to be all about. Freedom of expression. Why do I have to lecture conservatives about concepts like freedom of expression?

"Did you know one guy is a lawyer and the other an ecologist? Typical activist profiles, right? Wonder if these two activists participated in the prior disturbances. And did you know that a police officer was summoned by mall security and spent over an hour trying to convince the guy to either leave the mall or remove the shirt? And that the guy practically begged to be arrested?" So, does that warrent someone being harassed by Mall Security? Because of his being an environmentalist and a lawyer and may have particpated in an earlier protest (something that you are speculating about)? As if Mall security knew their occupations? All the nonsense about trying to convince them to leave is irrelevent. In a free country, people shouldn't be harassed for wearing a tee-shirt that says Give Peace a Chance on it while eating at a mall. FREEDOM! I believe in it, do you?
