Interesting - there's a dispute of fact, it seems. The complaint suggests the two men were actively stopping other shoppers. In none of the news stories I've read, however, do the mall cops actually repeat that allegation. They just allege that other shoppers were disturbed by the shirts in some vague way. If the real offense was that the men were harrassing people physically, why were they not asked to leave for that behavior instead of being asked, at first, just to remove the shirts? It looks like the charges have been dropped: http://www.msnbc.com/local/WNYT/M276307.asp?0dm=C249N Marvin Long Austin, Texas Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Poindexter & Ashcroft, LLP (Formerly the USA) http://www.breakyourchains.org/john_poindexter.htm _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
