(when actually it was the Nazis like Coffee and staff who were) Could it be they started to realize a little late they may not have a leg to stand on? HummmmmQuote:

I am sure that I wasnt "belligerent" and he knows it. There was over 100 people that saw this happen to me. I would like to one or two to come out and tell what they saw. I already said I was loud but I was not "yelling obscenities". I think I may have said something like "this is bullshit" but no obscenities were yelled at staff
I am general disturbed by the fact that almost every one of my public moves is recorded somewhere by someone. In this case I think it will prove to be to Jake's advantage. It will become clear that the police responded with the "back up" security guards and that he did not become loud or create a scene till they told him to remove or turn his shirt inside out.
It would be great if there was audio as well. That would prove that the police are not being totally truthful.
I stand by my son 100%. I will march side by side with him. If this is the direction our country is going in, the concerns I already had are compounding.
The bottom line is that offensive is too subjective of a word. I have worn my Ganja Cafe shirt in the mall and was never approached. This leads me to believe that their policy is not anti marijuana but that my son was singled out because he was not a middle aged gray hair woman. They probably never gave me a second look. They are profiling people of a certain age, dress code, and on occasion color. This is a discrimatory practice.
If the Towne Center at Aurora has a policy specifically anti marijuana shirts then why would they not stand up and tell the reporter that it was not allowed. Why was he told not to confront the reporter about the shirt? Was it just the reporter or anyone with an MJ shirt? These questions remain to be answered.
On channel 4 the reporter purchased a tee shirt at the mall and walked up to security and asked if the shirt was okay to wear. The security guard said I wish you would not but I have been told not to confront you about the shirt. So...they will not confront a reporter but a 28 year carpenter is fair game.
is there going to be a demonstration?
if there is, we're there, in our finest t's!
They may have aduio recording but I doubt it. It's hard to mic a large open space such as the mall. More likely, the cops may have been wired but usually when they are the recording device is in their patrol car.Quote:

You may not do this to me!!!"Quote:

Just contacted Spencer's Gifts and they gave me their attorney's voice mail. I was curious how they felt about the malls policies. I also asked how they would feel about their store being treated as 18+ only, since we obviously must protect the poor innocent children :stoned:. Left a message we will see if they contact me back.
If they are so concerned, and the stores that sell marijuana related items are in compliance with mall policy how can they be obscene? Does the mall then condone only the purchase of obscene or controversial material but not the actually utilization of those same materials?
Working at finding posting the list of all properties owned by Simon so we can avoid spending money in them everywhere. My question is how can something that is legal be so controversial?
I wore many shirts that would have been deemed much more offensive back in the 70's. Any of you old folks remember the shirts with Speedy Alka Seltzer but his body was a Rorer 714 quaalude? Or the better living thru chemistry shirt with Sigmund Fraud snorting cocaine? I wore those everywhere without issue. How can this shirt even be in the same league?
StoneyJake,
Do you want a copy of AJ Coffee's email sent to your attorney or yourself? You or attorney may be able to find an inconsistency within the email which may help your case. I'm not sure of the legalities of just forwarding it to you or your attorney. You may want to bring it up with your attorney prior to me doing anything first.
It basically says the mall is a family friendly place and you were not meeting the family friendly atmosphere...blah, blah, blah.
Let me know what you decide.
