    I have one that says smoke meth, beat whores, hail satan. It may not be a strong enough joke for mallrats.

    if you hand out religious material to customers day after day, sure, eventually they would do the same

    they never kicked him out for just wearing the shirt, in fact the mall security guard fist bumped the guy when this was over as he was not gonna hand out material, and he was not kicked out and allowed to wear the shirt, the real issue was with him interacting with customers and soliciting them

    I am Pro-Abortion and disagree with Religion being part of Government laws. I just don't think anyone should be persecuted for their faith which is what the Democrats have been doing too much of lately.

    The scary thing really is, that the mall cop could be an actual cop who took up a 2nd job. The mall cop could have been a person who used to be a cop at first.

    Oh that does make a difference. We have fights but when we exercise our right we have a duty not to tr@mole on the rights of others.

    It's a shirt, bro

    If they're so anti religion, maybe that mall should make a public statement about how they will throw out everyone with a Christian shirt. Or at least if they were caught wearing it multiple times.

    63% of Americans are Christians. Have fun with that.

    Is a Muslim shirt good? Is a rockband shirt good? Is a shirt with Pantagram good?

    Am I soliciting for a ACDC if I wear their shirt? A mall could kick me out if I wear a shirt multiple times?

    Dumbest crap ever

    I hope they make a public statement to communicate their policies and intent with the public. Alas, they are cowards.

    if a Muslim group hands out religious propaganda daily, they would also be asked to leave - people don't want that nonsense at the mall

    It never ceases to amaze me how one person in one place in a country of over 300 million could inspire such angst over one minor issue

    No disagreement here .. persecution in general .. taking a page or two from Adolf combined with the borg collective ... a scary combination. The modern Blue train has no respect for essential liberty ... everything "what is good for the many" .. that train going to the Orwell Station ..

    where have you seen this?

    if anything it's some republican Christians persecuting any other belief or non-belief

    The issue clearly was that the shirt was "offensive". Don't try to white wash this stupidity.

    nope, the security guard fist bumped him at the end and let him wear the shirt as he was not going to hand out any religious propaganda that day

    the security targeted him cause they were wearing the shirts previously on multiple occasions and handing out religious propaganda

    the guy in the shirt already admitted it

    "Minnesota — and the guard ordered the man to remove the shirt or leave the mall...

    "... The man asks what's wrong with the shirt, and the guard replies — with his voice still raised — that "it is religious soliciting; there is no soliciting allowed on mall property, which is private property!"
    "

    That's why he was asked to take off the shirt. Because it had nothing to do with his shirt. Lol

    Is someone paying you to lie? Or do you do it for free?

    yep, and the other video shows him fist bumping him at the end after he found out he did not plan to distribute religious propaganda and he let him wear the shirt

    I don't think a security guard has the authority to demand that other's haven't the right to wear what they want. Religious soliciting? That's a damn stretch.

    Then you'd think that would apply to any expression on clothing. The logo of a sports team could be and is "soliciting". A BLM logo is soliciting. A smiley face and "Have a nice day" is soliciting!

    he was handing out religious propaganda in the shirt previous days, weeks, months, it wasn't just the shirt

    when the security guard found he was not handing out religious propaganda that day like he had been in previous visits, he fist bumped him and let him continue on his day, with his shirt

    if this was a Muslim with a tshirt that was telling customers, they can't coexist with any other religion and handing out propaganda, I think many here would get it

    You may be right. I wasn't aware of handing out tracks on private property. I would hope the same policy would be applied to those campaigning for office and that may be the case. I will say, most Christian tracks are edifying and designed to lift people up, not drag them down.

    That would only be a fair analogy if the back of the BLM shirt read "White Lives Don't".

    if people want them, there is a church on most places in this country, hard to drive long and not see one
