“And if they still show up, broadcast classical music in the parking lot.”

Hell, play “Dixie” over the loudspeakers...

More and more people are shopping online, and not only for the convenience.

Along with these demonstrations on private property, they will also be staging thousands of smaller protests inside private homes this year, typically late at night or while the homeowners are at work.

Common signs of these "awareness actions" could be missing jewelry, flatscreen televisions, iPads, broken windowpanes and jimmied locks.

Mr Gray beat up a woman. The paramedics came. Mr Gray started beting them. The Police came. Mr Gray started beating a cop. grabbed for the cops gun.

After shot, Police put handcuffs on Mr. Gray. A few days later he dies.

A witness saw the hand cuffs, said Mr Gray was shot while hand cuffed. I believe the witness was a 10 yo boy out at 1:35 am.

It's private property.

The Minnesota Supreme Court says no. Since the public paid in the neighborhood of 186 million of the cost to construct it, they say it in no way can be considered private property. And I thought Massachusetts was bad.

...n 1996 the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled the free speech protection written in the state constitution “does not apply to a privately owned shopping center such as the Mall of America, although developed in part with public financing” in State v. Wicklund...

Actually, some businesses have tried exactly that (playing classical music,) and it works like Kryptonite to Superman.

You’re exactly right; why would anyone expose themselves to such violent savages with nothing to lose? My local Wal-Mart is a hotbed of shoplifting by gibsmedats; by going early in the morning I never see any of that...

Online shopping allows people that matter to further segregate themselves from people that don’t matter.
