How do I know that Reuter's slanted and the local press is not?  I'd bet
that the mall pours lots of money into local coffers and spends plenty of
advertising money with local newpapers.

At any rate, if the arrestees were harassing people, they should have been
evicted.  If not, then the mall/guards were in the wrong.

You can't refuse to serve people because of religion, gender, race or
sexual orientation, I do not believe that discrimination based on political
persuasion is permitted, either.
