Not really. I think the mall is privately owned property so the mall owners and management are within their rights to enforce rules to try and avoid aggressive confrontations on their property which would scare away otherwise peaceful shoppers. I think it is a reasonable rule. But the security guard just got a little over zealous in what he personally considered to be "apparel which is likely to provide a disturbance" given the circumstances. I don't see anything wrong with the policy. I guess the management is just going to have to provide a list of specific items of apparel which fall under the domain of that rule since the rent-a-cops are too dumb to figure it out using their own judgement.

"There are things we sell that it's OK to own them, but to use them in the mall setting is inappropriate," Morris said. Morris is

How is they don't create a riot on the store shelves then?

The cop was enforcing exactly what they wanted enforced. Morris is a mall official. The cop was doing his job. You won't face the facts presented in the actual article because you got a boner for mall cops that amounts to prejudice.

As somebody else already pointed out. . .they probably sell condoms and naughty lingerie in the mall too. Doesn't cause a riot but you can't exactly use them for their intended purpose at the mall. . .

And yeah. . .I got a boner for mall cops. That's why I called them both dumb and apes in my previous posts. Who pissed in your cornflakes anyway man?

A smiley face bandanna is equitable to a condom when used in public?

You did. You pissed on security guards enforcing management's wishes not because they are baboons but because they were doing as instructed. All the hypocritical goofiness in this article is management originated, not started by the cops. If you want to piss on others out of your bias why do you expect a free ride?

I wonder how many of their malls are subsidized by public revenues, like tax abatements, road construction, etc ?

Well ... there is two sides here... The Mall should have the freedom to conduct business in any manner it wishes.. Cuz I'd demand that same freedom for myslef to not shop in their Mall. The guard is simply the Mall's Gor enforcing what he gets paid to do.
Don't shop there! They will soon alter their ummmmmmm 'Code of Dress'..

When someone, not necessarily you, puts that out there they are making an analogy. Def. of Analogy

The mall probably sells lots of things that should not be used in a mall.

However, I do not think a bandanna with smiley faces on it is one of them.

Of course. I think it is ridiculous. But I don't think this security guard was on patrol for bandanas all on his own. Someone in management told him specifically to go after these people.

He didn't have to enforce it.

Then he probably would have been fired.

Always better to be fired than to act incorrectly. Always. If everyone would do what's right, instead of what keeps their jobs, then the idiots in this world would quickly go bankrupt from lack of willing slaves and we could start making things better. People with money need desperately to be shown that they aren't in charge of anything, and that all power rests with the masses in all things.

Part of the ban on 'Bandanas' is thier history of being a quick accessory for thieves to use to hide thier faces during a robbery.

Who in their right mind wants to be robbed by a thief wearing a bandana consisting of 'Happy Faces' ?
The Skull & Crossbones, maybe, but definately not Happy Faces, not tramatic enough.

Speak for yourself!

If someone who had previously worked for Wal-Mart for many years were robbed by a criminal wearing a happy face bandana, the shock would be HORRIFIC!

Give me a fvcking BREAK!

Man things must have gone WAY downhill since I lived in "Misery" back in the 70's.

I wore a Army field jacket with a Peace sign on the sleeve and I never caught flack about it back then! :shocked:

Makes me all the more glad I now like it Eugene Or. where Hippies are more or less the norm.

If this happened to me, I would take the bandana off and promptly return all the clothes I had bought, then leave the mall never to come back.

I'd have just had her take the bandana off to make the dumbass gaurd happy, then told her to put it back on once he was out of site. I doubt I'd be visiting that particular mall again, though.

Odds are, the same "sekerity gard" would have done the same thing had she been wearing a "Dixie Chicks" shirt. SOME people, in their belief that they are right, and that ONLY their opinion matters, attempt to censor any one whose opinion differs from theirs...
