And I can see WHY this case is receiving widespread attention with varying degrees of accountability.
I don't think they planned this in advance as they had just purchased the t-shirts.
However, the girls' description that they were having a "verbal dispute" is a little different than the security officers opinion of what was happening. I think the lawyer used his position in public to make a STATEMENT, and was willing to risk arrest for it. I can see how something so minor, can spiral out od control in such a short time.
Certainly, a "Give Peace a Chance" t-shirt is less offensive that a dead, pre-mature "baby" on a t-shirt (and I WOULD find that offensive). However, it is just another situation which shows the passion with which Americans are divided about the possibility of a coming "war".
