Good to see that it hasn't escalated to violence. :) Most of the time people just don't open shops in areas like that or they close them down shortly after opening them. In larger metropolitan areas they typically get away with being "low key" and don't get harassed too much. Nobody looks too closely if it's just a bunch of "art and rocks" in the window of a strip shopping center. That's still unacceptable. They should be able to put pentacles out in plain view, wherever they freaking feel like and not worry about being harrased, the same way that christains do with crosses.
