“Faced with an outpouring of criticism, mall executives asked to have the charge against Downs dropped four days after the incident occurred. Downs’ T-shirt was later donated and put on display at the New York State Museum.

About a year after his arrest, Downs and the New York Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the mall and the town of Guilderland, contending his arrest was unlawful and violated his free speech rights. An Albany County Court judge ruled in favor of the town and mall’s motion for summary judgment in April 2009.”
