Mall of America must allow protests says judge
A Minnesota judge ruled that the Mall of America must permit free speech in its common areas because public money helped fund it. He also said some protesters can face trespass charges for lacking permission, noting the mall’s public character and government ties. The mall houses a college, police substation, two public schools, an indoor theme park and over 500 stores, built for 700 million dollars with 186 million from Bloomington.
