Both mall security and mall management were pretty much absent during the
most of the two-hour protest.  Management did issue a statement saying
Downs' behavior and his T-shirt were disrupting customers.

Downs and his son said on Tuesday that's not true. "We were just
shopping. We were wearing these T-shirts. We weren't handing out leaflets,
we weren't saying anything," Roger Downs recalled.


Hmm.  Guess Asswipe will have to arrest them on terrorism charges in order
to silence them.  Helen Thomas is so right about Bush.
