So far I haven't seen a news story that quotes anyone recounting being confronted or spoken to by the men, so I'm not inclined to leap to the conclusion that they actually harassed anybody. I'm sure you're correct on the legal implications of the mall being private property, which suggests that to me that the mall is run by gits, pure and simple.
