Mall Security Kicks Out Man for Wearing Jesus Saves Shirt

Hodgetwins dissect a Mall of America incident where security ejected a man for wearing a "Jesus Saves" shirt, debating if private property rights override First Amendment protections against religious discrimination. The conversation escalates into a heated exchange on racial classifications, questioning if Somalis are "Negroes" while criticizing guards as "God-hating." One host shares an anecdote about a corrupt security guard using excessive force, illustrating how unchecked power distorts justice and challenges the very concept of free expression in commercial spaces.

First Amendment on Private Property 00:08:13
Yeah, I got a new show for y'all.
A damn good show.
Mall of America.
It's up there in Minnesota.
Yeah, it is.
Technically, that's a liberal shithole.
It's a lot of crimes in that place.
Oh, man.
There's so many people just died shopping in this mall.
I remember somebody threw a dude off the top balcony there.
Yeah.
Rough place, but this security guard is trying to throw out a dude for wearing Jesus save shirt.
Check this out.
If you want to shop here, you need to take that shirt off.
What is wrong with my t-shirt?
Again, sir, it is religious soliciting.
There is no soliciting allowed on my property, which is private property.
Okay?
So again, that's what talks.
Exactly.
Why does it take it out to shop, man?
That's all we want.
No, I'm citizen.
I know the private secrets.
Last time I was here, they told me to leave for Transport.
I did.
Yes, that day, I was preaching.
Yeah, I was preaching the gospel.
God damn it.
You're still soliciting.
And again, yes, you're welcome wearing that shirt in the form of soliciting.
And we've had guests come up saying that they've been offended by your shirt.
We've had guests come up and say you've been offended.
So, like this gentleman just said too, take the shoot off and you can go shopping.
That's simple.
Sir, pay game.
I will be forced to make it clear.
And I don't want to do that.
I don't think people are complaining about that shirt.
I think the product that he was outside or something on the property somewhere preaching.
Yeah.
And he threw him out for soliciting.
You can't solicit on property.
So I get that.
On private property.
On private property.
Yeah.
So I get that.
But I think they target him because of that.
Of course.
Yeah.
So he's wearing the shirt.
Soliciting is when you accost somebody.
Accost.
I like that word.
It sounds so elegant.
Yeah, it's a white man's word, right?
You when you accost somebody and right and try to push something on them, sell them something, persuade them with something.
Right.
Right?
Like a prostitute that's soliciting.
They're actually walking down the street dressed provocatively, trying to get dudes to pick them up.
Right?
That's not freedom like that, though, man.
They should be able to do that.
That's freedom.
Yeah, women can be able to do what she want with her body, right?
I've never heard anybody process this shit.
But anyway, back to the story.
Right.
This dude's not soliciting.
He's just walking, which should be covered under the First Amendment.
Well, you can't take the First Amendment and turn it to a crime.
Like, I can totally understand he was soliciting.
He was preaching.
He was on private property.
Y'all asked him to leave.
But y'all said he could come.
I think he said that he could come back 24 hours later, which he did.
He's just simply walking down the mall wearing a Jesus safe shirt.
That's not soliciting.
That's his First Amendment right.
Yeah, he's not soliciting.
He's not actually going up to people.
See this?
It's the only way.
If you don't, you're going to burn in hell.
Yeah.
You know, that's soliciting.
Yeah.
I think you're pretty much targeting this man because y'all had a run-in with him the day prior.
Now you're trying to overstep your bounds.
I understand that's private property, but I guarantee you the owner of that private property will not have that man kicked out.
You two rental cops are overstepping your bounds.
He's not disturbing the peace.
He's just simply walking and shopping.
And he's not soliciting.
Like I don't like this whole thing.
It's open to the public, but it's private property.
Now, if he's just in that shopping, he can wear what he wants.
I mean, having a Jesus style shirt on is not offensive in the least.
Don't think, I don't think you.
I think you should be able to walk in a mall and you can wear whatever you want.
If you got F you on your chest, so long as it's censored, the U part.
I mean, it's freedom of speech.
It's private property.
You can't do that.
Why not?
I'm not offending nobody.
I mean, I'm not breaking the law.
It's my First Amendment right.
Yeah, but it's probably.
But when you're on private property, a lot of people.
And I want to strongly say this: when you're on private property, that Constitution does not apply.
But that's not right.
No shit.
Like, let me say this.
Let me do some talking.
Constitution.
That trumps any law.
It should be.
Because it's the Constitution.
Yeah.
Right.
That's why we're in the trouble we're in now because a lot of people don't want to like the Constitution.
Or they only like the Constitution when it serves their purpose.
Yeah, so private property, open to the public, but it's still private.
Like a private property, you can't open up a business and you only hire white people and you only serve white people.
I come in and say, hey, man, this restaurant looks dope.
Chicken and waffles, man, I love chicken waffles.
Hey, we don't serve your kind here.
This is private property.
Get out.
Would that fly?
No.
No, it's not going to fly.
You know why?
Because it doesn't align with the Constitution.
I don't think what these two security guards align with the Constitution.
I know it's private property, but he's not breaking the law.
Yeah, he's not.
He's exercising his First Amendment right.
Yeah.
Now, what happened?
Do we know what happened?
That was just it, huh?
Well, he was preaching or something.
He was well, I know that.
He was preaching the day before.
They said, go and get out of here with your guard and stuff.
Right?
He comes back 24 hours later, which he said he could.
He's just simply walking down the mall.
Yeah, not soliciting.
Not saying anything to nobody.
No, that's subjective.
You being subjective.
You got to be more objective, though.
What?
They're trying to say that it's soliciting because he says Jesus says, but I'm just being facetious.
The two security guards, they're being more subjective than objective.
I don't even think people are complaining about a black man walking down the mall with a damn Jesus save shirt with anybody.
He wasn't black.
You're going to offend this guy.
He was from Somalia.
Somalians don't like to be called Negroes.
They don't?
No, they got their good hair.
Yeah, they're better than black people.
You call Somalia a Negro?
Ain't Somalia in Africa?
They ain't Negroes, though.
They got their good hair.
No, they're a nigga and they're going to die, nigga.
Man, what's wrong with you?
I'm just, I'm pointing facts.
No, they are, they some, yeah, y'all.
They're African.
Y'all, y'all, some Negroes.
It's only like, what, five races?
White, mongoloid.
Yeah.
Negro.
Oh, Somalia is not a race.
That's a Negro.
So you got, this is what you got.
You got white.
Ethnicity.
Yeah.
That's an ethnicity.
Look, look.
Shut up.
You got white.
Mongoloid.
Negro.
Got mongoloid.
That's three.
Then you got these Native Americans.
Some of them call them Mexicans.
Some of them call them last night, you native.
Yeah, Puerto Rican, Mexicans.
El Salvadorians, Venezuelans, Natives.
Native Americans.
Indian.
Legislative.
Indian.
Yeah.
What about the Australian Aborigine?
Yeah, they dark, but their hair is like jet straight.
You got their good hair.
They could make some killer waves of that.
They're more closer to Asian than anything, but they got those Neanderthal features, you know.
That's the correct way to say it.
I didn't say anything.
I could feel it, though.
Feel what?
That's your anxiety kicking in.
Hey, but no, it says that this dude should have been kicked out of the mall for just wearing a shirt.
I do understand it's private property, but come on.
Nobody's complaining about that man's shirt.
No owner of a mall would kick a man out for wearing a Jesus save shirts.
You two security guards, more than likely are some God-hating, uncivilized, America-hating police officers.
Y'all know that man is not there to cause any disturbance or to break the law or anything.
He's not breaking any laws.
He's wearing a shirt.
Power Corrupts Security Guards 00:01:57
Power corrupts.
Even if you're a security guard.
So you got, I used to work in security.
Man, you give somebody a badge.
Some of the biggest assholes I've ever worked with is when I was a security guard.
I remember it was a security guard, man.
He actually came to work with gloves on.
He wanted to fuck somebody up.
Right?
Walk around handcuffs.
Hey, let me say something.
Hey, the flashlight.
Hey, let me say something.
Like that badge?
That damn badge don't have the police department on it.
It just has Allied protective services on it.
People walk around like they're a damn cop.
Power corrupts.
I remember, man, I was working in a mall.
A false sense of power corrupts.
Yeah, I was working in the mall, right?
And there was a disturbance.
I forget the COVID.
I think it was a 1099.
I don't know.
But it was a disturbance at this.
1099.
That's your location.
That's your location.
Like, there was a disturbance inside of one of the stores, right?
So I get that right.
I'm the supervisor, but we had this new guy on the job.
He's about this tall, and he thought he was God Almighty, right?
So we get that right.
Supervisor?
No, I was supervisor.
He was a new hire, right?
He wanted to be a police officer, right?
So he said he took the test and everything.
He's just waiting for his background check to go through.
He was waiting on his psychological evaluation, all that, right?
So it's me and Aaron.
I call him and say, Minisco, we got a disturbance.
We got an argument going on.
We got to squash this.
We security, right?
So we get that right.
And it's this, this is dude and this woman, husband and wife.
They're arguing.
The dude and they are going at it.
This dude comes up there, right?
This little Billy Badass, he comes up there.
We get that right.
He starts putting on gloves.
Starts putting on gloves like he's going to rust somebody up.
That dude turned, oh, you putting on gloves?
Come on, bring it on.
He put the gloves on, right?
And this dude said, wait a minute.
He said, bam!
Bam!
Knocked the dude out.
Cold.
What, the security guard?
Yeah, it knocked him out, because he's putting on gloves.
