specialed Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Sad thing is, he could sue but all he could probably get would be the ability to wear his shirt at the mall. It would be hard to recover any damages. Probably wouldn't be worth the cost of litigation. Though sounded like the ACLU was interested in the case.

allthumbs Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Don't like this anymore than teachers using classroom for their political views. If it is sold at the mall, should be able to wear it at the mall. Just wish more chicas would wear their Victoria's secret stuff around the mall while they finish shopping. Although, some malls have liquor stores, you can't consume the alcohol in public. I know, bad analogy, but only one that comes to mind on short notice. Bet no prosecutor will put his neck out to bring this to trial if he has any hope of becoming a judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 It was a Freudian slip. He meant "stunt". I wonder what he has on his mind? Arresting your patrons for wearing T-shirts can't be good for business. I hope people stay away in droves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 I never wrote that word anyways. I may be an asshole and rude. But I never ever ever ever talk about woman in that way.

iain Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I had a nourishing Cinnabon today and washed it down with a refreshing Orange Julius after my mall loop walk. I then perused the three competing hologram shops and bought the "my tummy sticks out farther than my dickey do" t-shirt to cap the event.

Bronco Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 erik said: burn mall burn! total bullshit. ashcroft can suk it Erik: I see you are angry about the way the protesters were treated. But why do you want the mall to burn, I thought you were a peace supporter. Thats not peaceful! Think of it this way, if some war monger was marching around your front yard with a WAR IS GOOD t-shirt and you asked him to leave, would it be not respecting his views? what if he was making your visiting friends nuts and you thought they might go home and never come over to your house again? would you call the cops to report someone tresspassing on your personal private property? And finally, what if there were no more hypothetical questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 bronco i really do not have an opinion on the war. i am not a peace supporter or a war supporter. i am an erik and his friend's supporter. if some nut case was out in front of my house with a "i hate erik" shirt on. i would laugh. if some person feels the need to express those thoughts, that is their issue and not mine. i have better things to worry about then something of that sort. and if there were no more hypothetical questions, well then we would all be stuck in reality!

sexual_chocolate Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Isn't a mall private property, therefore exempt from freedom of speech issues? Such was my thought.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialed Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Property Rights are not absolute. Often property rights and issues of freedom of speech conflict. However, when one opens up a shopping mall they invite the public into it, thereby compromising any right they previously had to exclude anyone from their property.

Fairweather Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 So if I park my car at a local college campus, or say, in Freemont....with an "I support George W Bush" bumper sticker affixed, my free speech rights will be respected? I propose that it is highly likely my vehicle would be vandalized by the local "peace-loving" people there. Is the "mall story" complete? Perhaps similarly clad individuals had participated in a not-so-peaceful protest earlier?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Its an excellent example of why malls are not an adequate replacement for public space. The mall, like this board, is private property. They're way over the top on this one, since the message was innocuous and non-specific, but malls are hugely inferior to traditional concepts of shopping districts. I agree with erik and mojo nixon: burn down the malls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshK Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Am I missing some context here? Why in the hell would mall security care if somebody was wearing a "give peace a chance" t-shirt?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
