Quote: Both mall security and mall management were pretty much absent during the most of the two-hour protest. Management did issue a statement saying Downs' behavior and his T-shirt were disrupting customers.
Downs and his son said on Tuesday that's not true.
"We were just shopping. We were wearing these T-shirts. We weren't handing out leaflets, we weren't saying anything," Roger Downs recalled.
Signs posted at entrances to the mall say that "wearing of apparel... likely to provoke disturbances... is prohibited" at the mall.
I don't know exactly what was true... its unclear. But it sure seems like the mere presence of shirts that said, as I quote agian,
Quote:One shirt simply said "Let Inspections Work" on one side and "No War With Iraq" on the other. The other shirt said "Give Peace A Chance" on the front and "Peace On Earth" on the back.
was "disruptive" to mall security. And that is disgusting.
