Charges to be filed against protesters in Mall of America
Sue them for every penny. It's private property. Any kind of group gathering BY LAW must obtain the consent of the owners.
And I don't buy the excuse "oh, we just came to sing Christmas carols". If that's the case, why were you dressed up and carrying signs saying "Black Lives Matter"?

Would George Soros money be at least paying for out-of-town protestor traveling expenses?
Curious old dinos want to know.
Someone's "useful idiots?"
Those who would take over the earth
And shape it to their will
Never, I notice, succeed.
The earth is like a vessel so sacred
That at the mere approach of the profane
It is marred
And when they reach out their fingers it is gone.
For a time in the world some force themselves ahead
And some are left behind,
For a time in the world some make a great noise
And some are held silent,
For a time in the world some are puffed fat
And some are kept hungry,
For a time in the world some push aboard
And some are tipped out:
At no time in the world will a man who is sane
Over-reach himself,
Over-spend himself,
Over-rate himself
Ford, Jobs, Rand, and more may well fall into the over, over, over category. But if I were to follow an ancient philosopher, next to Aristotle, Lao Tsu would be a good choice.
"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

I was exposed to Rand and Lao Tzu at age 14.Nietzsche and Marx in the next year....I made a choice. I wonder how these folks behavioral choices may have been affected if they'd had the same exposure
These Noodle-necks up here are only bright enough to conjure up obstruction. Scream and bitch at the top of their lungs and never make any point other than "We are disturbed / upset." and offer no productive path to solution of solving these feelings. Pretty much the same all over?
Some people, lacking a productive purpose as a basis for self esteem, fill the void with simple, attention getting, destructive publicity stunts to feel important.
The fallacy formally is equating destruction, which any fool can accomplish, with creation that requires good thinking and good judgement.
like the millions who claimed to have gone to Woodstock and never did, some people are more about saying the were "there" rather than being effective.

Gardner said the financial losses are not the fault of protesters.
“We came to sing carols and raise awareness,” she said, “and the Bloomington police are the ones who shut down the mall, not us.”
And folks don't agree with me when I claim that Critical Thinking is Dead?
Wow.
