New " clearly states"
The complaint referenced in the newpaper article clearly states that the guards "received complaints that they were stopping other shoppers."
The problem here is that the police report in the Smoking Gun you provide a link to "clearly states" that an arguement had been observed by one (anonymous) woman. Maybe I missed something, point it out will ya?
Sometimes, self respect says you just have to speak out.

New Re: " clearly states"
Look on the first page of security guard Robert Williams' deposition regarding what he *observed* at:

[link|http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/crossgates3.html|http://www.thesmokin.../crossgates3.html]

"As they were walking through the common area they were stopping customers to express why they are wearing the shirts."

So, why did Reuters omit this detail in their report? Had it been there--even if it had been reported as, "The complaint states that. . . "--it would have stopped a lot of heated claims here and elsewhere that Downs was arrested for what was on his t-shirt.

The omission was inflammatory.

If this is a self-respect/self-expression thing, then there are probably hundreds of places on nearby public property where they could have done this.

New I'll have to take your word for it.
I can't read it. Might be time for new glasses. Given the current political climate, I find it much more reasonable to posit that the peace shirt wearing duo were accosted and responded. It is, however, possible that this member of the judicial review board did instigate altercations with random mall customers. I leave it to you as to which is the most likely.
