And I guess the Susan G Komen foundation hates all other people with other cancers (or any other illness) since they care focused on breast cancer.
Bad example. Learn about pink washing. Komen has had significant negative impacts research and awareness of other types of cancer, and even on breast cancer research groups not connected to Komen. And these negative impacts are believed to be purposeful. In other words, yes, there is quite a bit of evidence does Komen is willing to sacrifice people with other cancers to focus on breast cancer, and specifically to focus on Komen. (The most egregious being Komen's legal battles to prevent other charities from conducting events to raise funds for cancer cures for other cancers, claiming that only Komen can legally raise funds to research for a cancer cure, e.g. their injunction against United Against Lung Cancer to prevent that group from raising funds to research a cure for lung cancer.)
A judge approved it for three of the leaders, so yes they can. It has been ruled that a mall is private property, as it should be. Could you have people arrested for coming into your house to protest?
What does the Mall of America have to do with racism? Nothing!
If the Mall of America owners and retailers were being racists, then BLM can protest on the sidewalk.
Something I found quite ironic; of the hundreds of protesters who tried to go into the mall today only a small handful were black. I suspect most of these mostly white 20 somethings were also part of the OWS crowds. They'll be on to a new outrage next year.

It's no shock that cures are very slow to market and quite expensive. How many billions have been raised for MS (Lewis has raised something like $4B?) yet still no cure, nor even great strides in treatments. Disease is a honeypot, and curing them would cut profits.
Read that Live report ...... they moved on shut down Light Rail, entrances to the Airport and one Terminal so far. Turns out that the Police were checking bags for weapons/bombs - so it was slow going to get into the Mall. About 30 minutes before the announced arrival of the "peaceful (yuk-yuk) protestors" -- the stores locked down.
Oops - Christmas shopping spree cancelled, so they moved a mile down the road and took over the Light Rail and shut down a Terminal at the Security Checkpoint. TSA gets a might Testy when a crowd rushes their Security Checkpoint. Freeway is also shut down.

We just shut down America's biggest mall, a light rail, the highway and an International airport.

Hmm. No.
I heard that they simply tossed a couple of pairs of those clown shoes, Air Jordans, into this BLM bunch and they turned on each other like prisoners during a jail riot.
I just laugh at their kind. Tho BLM is scared to go after the BIGGEST killers of young Black dudes, which ain't the cops either.
That's the saddest part of this whole thing. Why won't they have these massive protests in the hood? Why don't they reform the hood?
