Yeah, I know this bar that does about the same thing, they let people with certain T-shirts been denied entry. You know what is REALLY PURELY coincidental? That it are Black/Brown people that KEEP wearing T-shirts or Shoes the owner doesn't like. Really silly. It is totally fine however, it is the right of the owner. Not like people should be treated equally. (sarcasm)


Actually, it isn't important weather the guards were acting on their own of on someones else accord. I find it more a big deal they can hide their discrimination behind (their boss's) "Oh, but it is my own property".
Has the mall gone out of business? Also, your example hardly relates to THIS case. I understand that in a bar, you want a certain image, class or something. Also, the rules are set. Unless if you agree that for people they find ugly they make the rules a whole of a lot more strict.

In the case of the Mall, making up a rule on the spot is something totally different. What purpose did it serve? There is no reason to ban someone from your establishment wearing a peace-shirt if all the other people are wearing casual clothes too, except for political discrimination. Personally, I think McDonalds should, at least if they serve people with normal caps or those biker-bandannas, serve Muslim women that choose to wear a towel on their head (not a burka -covering everything including the face-, I could understand you don't want to serve people with ski-masks too). I don't see much difference between such cases, expect for that one is pure political discrimination and the other is pure religious (or even ethical/race) discrimination.[/b]
So, what should the law be? You can ban shirts that condone war on your own property, depending on how everybody else is dressed, but you can't ban shirts that protest war on your own property, and Muslim head towels should be allowed, depending on whether others are allowed to wear caps and bandanas, unless the owner wants a certain image? That would be a really strange law to pass.

If the mall didn't go out of business, not enough people knew what assholish rules it had.
