In Long Island, New York, an eighty-year-old church deacon was removed from a shopping mall Saturday and arrested after he refused to remove a t-shirt protesting the Iraq war. Deacon Don Zirkel was handing out antiwar pamphlets when he was approached by security guards at the Smith Haven Mall. The guards placed him under citizen’s arrest after he refused orders to turn his t-shirt inside out. When the local police arrived they charged him with criminal trespassing and resisting arrest.

Ok, yeah, so . . . I find this comedic - but only because of the new B-52's song "Funplex," which is coincidentally about "mall life," and which contains the line: "Hippie be quiet! Your peace sign t-shirt could cause a riot."
Such imitates such, and so on.
