Group Protests N.Y. Peace T-Shirt Arrest
(AP) ALBANY, N.Y - About 100 people descended upon a suburban mall Wednesday to protest the arrest of a man who wore a peace T-shirt while he shopped. No arrests were reported. The group marched through Crossgates Mall at noon. At one point, there was a confrontation between one of the marchers and a man carrying a sign that read "9-11." Stephen Downs, 61, was charged with trespassing in a mall after he refused to take off a T-shirt that said "Peace on Earth" and "Give peace a chance."
I know that the mall is private property but this just stupid. This illustrates Naomi Kline's point that there is no free speech in private spaces that pretend to be public spaces. see nologo.org or this flash presentation
