Twitter Video: Mall Cop Gets Tuff Over Jesus Saves T-Shirt

It's soliciting to wear a Jesus Saves t-shirt? (Spoiler Alert: It's not.)

I love watching the rent a cop trying to explain a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo. He swaps from excuse to excuse. The guy and his shirt aren't hurting anyone. Move on with your life, loser.

Minnesota deserves all the stupidity going on up there.

I mean...the mall is private property so it's ultimately their call.

I think it's stupid and don't agree with their decision, and this is coming from an outspoken atheist and would not shop at a place that did this, but if you believe in private property, idiot property owners should have the ability to do dumb things on it and shoppers can then determine if they want to shop there.

And we should know about it and punish them for it as buyers. We don't have to ignore their stupidity.

What’s the Christian population looking like in that area? If it’s ~50%, then Paul Blart will probably be told to shut his cake hole or get fired.

He was operating on orders. But I hope he is fired and so is his supervisor. And I hope the Mall of America looses a large chunk of business.

Agreed.

But I don't live in Minneapolis, thank goodness.

I guess just from having worked in The Mall as a college student I know first hand how utterly useless security is, so feeling the need to get into a Constitutional debate with one is as useful as doing so with my lab.



It makes for a fun video, but it's not going to be productive.

He said someone complained, and I was assuming that was either A) a lie or B) obviously a Muslim given the area.

Though in Minneapolis, it could very well have been an outspoken atheist (thanks idiots, giving us all a bad name) as well.

I'd guess Muslim thinking that the stupid COEXIST thing was marked out and they'd get pissy about the Crescent being desecrated or something.

The mall is private property, they can have whatever dumbass rules they want.

As such though, they will have to bear the responsibility of public pushback when evidence of this dumbassery surfaces.

You can't really be the "Mall of America" if you're cracking down on something like this simply because it may offend someone. If I lived in that area I would be very tempted to wear that same shirt then force them to arrest me on the gamble that the MoA would be willing to pay me to not make a big deal of this.

can they kick the guy out because he's black instead of because of his shirt?

Good question. Let's go to the judges.

This has to be a really bad attempt at parody. Must be.


OR

Super racist cop is angling hard to start a confrontation so he can use force.

So the 1st Amendment only applies when one is not a Christian.

Got it.

Atheism is also a particular system of faith and worship, a/k/a religion. I think we understand why gooberments challenge Christianity. It is the one religion, along with atheism, that offers freedom.

did the mall have signs out stating "no 'Jesus saves' shirts allowed?"

I go days, sometimes weeks, at a time without sparing a single thought about the entire state of Minnesota. Not even for hateful reasons, they just kinda slip off my radar completely unless the Spurs are playing the Timberwolves or something
