WEARING DOWNS RESISTANCE
March 6th, 2003It’s been a Good News/Bad News kind of week. The bad news is that wearing the wrong t-shirt could get you arrested. The good news is that local hippies may come to your aid. MSNBC has an update on the t-shirt flap in Schenectady:
Protestors gather at Crossgates Mall
The management at Crossgates Mall Wednesday asked the Guilderland Police Department to drop the trespassing charges against a Selkirk man. This came after about 100 protestors descended on Crossgates Mall that afternoon. Their “Mall Walk for Peace” protested the arrest of 60-year-old Stephen Downs, who was charged with trespassing Monday night when he wouldn’t leave the mall after he refused to remove his T-shirt bearing a peace message.
