The mall should have all of them arrested for trespassing on private property. What a group of losers

What's the purpose of disrupting shoppers proving?

And I can't imagine anybody paying a bit of attention to them anyway.

Right. Having this kind of protest in an upper class, suburban mall in Pittsburgh, PA has a lot of relevance.

What a joke.

It's always interesting to watch the majority tell the minority how they should air grievances.

The fact that the whole nation isn't upset the police are assaulting and/or killing Americans with impunity shows how effective the government's use of divide and conquer has worked on the populace.

Lets all argue over a dozen things that make us different instead of uniting against blatant oppression against everyone. That's exactly what they want anyway.

It is private property. If the mall management asks them to leave and they refuse, it would be perfectly appropriate to call the police and have them removed. Peaceful protesting in a public place is one thing but it is not acceptable to do it on private property.

I'm sorry, but from everything I've read it seems to me like what happened in NYC was a tragic accident---not that the cop intentionally wanted to kill that man either because he was on a power-trip or hated African-Americans. The "chokehold" was idiotic to have done, but it wouldn't have resulted in death for 99.9999% of the U.S. population. Disrupting the daily lives of millions of Americans to protest "racist cops" seems counter-productive to me since people like me start hating the protesters instead of hating the cops.
