My sister sent me this link also, since it's "her" mall. She said she wants to do the same thing. She won't stop talking about it. I think she should just do it.

Damn hippies. Going around all peaceful-like. What next?
One can only hope law and order will be restored when our glorious Attorney General denounces these malcontents as the enemies within that they are and throws their butts in jail, all secret like. That'll show 'em. Now is the time for war! And shopping!

This is just WRONG.

Unless this article (and the one on CNN) are missing something, like the guy became irate and threatened security guards or something like that, this is way over the line. You can't wear a tee shirt in the mall that advocates peace?

This mall is going to feel some serious heat.
