Since any criticism of the antiwar movement is inevitably and immediately called censorship, and we have a sworn statement that they were doing more than the protesters claim, more than we've got, actually. All I've seen is the claim by the protesters that they were asked to take off their shirts - since I give them little or no credibility, that isn't going very far. I'm not predisposed to think that we're plunging into a police state. It is not, in fact, okay to bother people on private property. Jackasses will be jackasses, which is one of the reasons why malls do, in fact, have security guards. The guards were within their legal rights to eject them for pretty much any reason - that's why it's called private property. If all they were doing was wearing (non-obscene) T-shirts, then they _should not_ have done so, but they were within their legal rights to do so.
