A Disturbing Tale

Atrios posts a (rather long) letter from a member of a group arrested in a Delaware mall for promoting "Buy Nothing Day last week.

While it does seem to be the case that, in Delaware at least, malls are not considered public spaces for the purposes of free speech protection, as they have been ruled in other states, this still doesn't sit right. If the group had been advocating a different message -- "Support Our Troops" or "Up With Shopping" -- do you think they would have been arrested?
