My kids and I went to the mall with peace t-shirts shortly after this incident, completely unaware of who "the guy that got busted" was.
Hearing the whole story makes me proud of this area in which people still are shocked at violations of civil liberties and will stand up for what is right, particularly in a public marketplace thrust upon the community at the expense of small businesses, the environment, and the rare animals and plants of the Pine Bush.
They took an awful lot from us to compound that by not respecting our basic rights. In addition, I have seen the other t-shirts they sell.... some of which actually express intent to commit crimes.
