They will sue to get a settlement, but the Supreme Court in a 1999 decision determined that MOA is private property and free speech protections do not apply.

Via IJR:

the U.S.’s largest mall, the Mall of America, has decided to take legal action to prevent the group from protesting during one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

Kare 11 reported that:

The Mall of America has filed for a restraining order against leaders of Black Lives Matter (BLM) in an attempt to head off a protest scheduled for one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

The legal documents, filed in Hennepin County Court, name BLM leaders Michael McDowell, Miski Noor, Lena Gardner, Kandace Montgomery and four others named only as John Does 1 through 4 as defendants. The request for the temporary restraining order says BLM has been using its Facebook and Twitter pages to promote a demonstration at the Mall of America’s East Rotunda at 1 p.m. on December 23, 2015.

In asking for a restraining order, attorneys for MOA point to a similar protest held on December 20, 2014 involving approximately 1,000 protesters inside the mall. Mall attorneys maintain that many retailers reported double digit decreases in sales on December 20, 2014, the date of that demonstration.

In response, Black Lives Matter’s Minnesota branch has called the move “unconstitutional” and a barring of “free speech.”

Even with the possibility of legal action, Black Lives Matter says it has no plans to stop its ‘demonstration’ on the 23rd.
