In that case...

It makes it more likely that it was an official mall policy. (It might not have been though - it could have just been multiple incidents with the same security guard.) And he knew that without an incident that it wouldn't change. So he was willing to get arrested to make a point.

Doesn't change the fact that I don't like the idea of store owners deciding that their customers should not wear what is really a pretty blase t-shirt.

I am glad that he made the point. Even if I wouldn't have chosen to.

Cheers,
Ben

Umm... Yes, I realise *exactly* where he was. Do YOU? - (CRConrad) - (14) - March 7, 2003, 06:32:42 PM EST

Then we just disagree - (drewk) - March 7, 2003, 08:46:17 PM EST

Wrong on a point - (boxley) - (12) - March 7, 2003, 09:14:07 PM EST

A) Too bloody obvious; B) Oh, that's "a rule", is it ?!? - (CRConrad) - (11) - March 8, 2003, 02:50:21 PM EST

Yeah, I can understand your anger, but... - (tseliot) - March 10, 2003, 11:16:23 AM EST

I think you're still missing part of what I said - (drewk) - (4) - March 10, 2003, 12:53:21 PM EST

No, it's becoming obvious YOU don't know what you're saying. - (CRConrad) - (3) - March 10, 2003, 05:07:46 PM EST

{sigh} And the jingoists want to suppress immigration - (Ashton) - March 11, 2003, 01:53:08 AM EST
