I'll pipe in here again. I have two professionally trained security personel on my staff. Granted I don't run a mall, but a store inside one.
Due to liability issues, the security gaurds do not eject people from the property or interact with customers in any confrontational way, they stand nearby while a manager executes a trespass notice in a professional and thorough manner.
I deal with an average of 5 ejections week for things like shoplifting, vandalism, and drunkeness. The gaurds say not one word during an ejection and if the "customer" decides to escelate the confrontation, then the gaurd gets the cops and managment informs the "customer" politley that the police are on the way. Of course none of these ejectable offences are as superficial as a slogan on a t-shirt.
My point is by following specific procedures and keeping cool heads 99% of these altercations end with-out an incident.
Of course my store doesn't have a policy that says what a person cannot where on a t-shirt while shopping. If someone told me my tshirt was offensive and I should take it off, I would make quite a scene my self out of a sense of angry justice.
I do not sympathize much with the gaurd. If it was termination with-out cause, then that's usually wrong but he can file for govt cheese unemployment benifits that his former employer's insurance pays for. Companies do pay for wrongful termination by unemployment insurance and have to keep inscrutable records for the goverment to check claims.
If he was fired was for due cause, then he deserved it.
