We just want to know what the policy is and why it's being randomly enforced," said Erin O'Brien, an organizer of the noontime rally at the Crossgates Mall.
Protest leaders were scheduled to meet with the mall's manager after the rally. Calls to mall officials were not immediately returned.
On Monday, Stephen Downs, 61, and his son were asked by mall security guards to remove their peace-slogan shirts or leave. Downs' 31-year-old son, Roger, took off his shirt. But Downs refused.
The guards called police, and he was charged with trespassing and pleaded innocent.
Police Chief James Murley said: "We don't care what they have on their shirts, but they were asked to leave the property, and it's private property."
The men had had the T-shirts made at a mall store and wore them while they shopped.

I think with the Libertarian Party they can keep it.(libertarian)A bigger worry is the theft of 'anarchy',I know thieves never prosper but we have 'anarcho-capitalists' and 'crypto-anarchy' groups stuffed with RaHoWa fruitcakes running around.I suggest we terminate them...with extreme prejudice.
