A link means nothing! People are permitted to have an opinion.
I can post any kind of bullshit on the web and link to it. Does that make it fact! No!
Gunners do that. They create bull shit web sites and link to them as support for their bullshit ideas. The tea party does that too. Some wing nut says something on line and all the wing nuts link to it. What does that prove?

I thought from looking at the pictures that walmart allowed the guns but not the shirts and it didn't make sense to me. I can be slow sometimes

I'm not being sarcastic. Walmart shut their stores down Monday over black people protesting the multiple murders of black boys by cops in Missouri. There were numerous arrests; at least 75 that I'm aware of.

The graphic is trending on Twitter.

On Edit: Changed 'yesterday' to 'Monday.'

read on various sites of 50 heroes arrested (including Dr. Cornel West and various clergy). Sadly, I cannot find a link the '50' number any longer nor can I remember where I read it (at least 2 places).

ustream accounts on Moral Monday, so I've been trying to update myself with information since then. The clergy demonstration\mass arrest (at the Police Dept headquarters) was incredibly moving.

...as it was happening, but I don't remember which twitter feed.

Here's a link to a 'More than 50 arrests' story out of St. Louis.

It's just another example of blatant racist disparity in America; as if we needed another example.

However, I can certainly understand that many others may see that as no more benign than a group of unarmed protesters on a parking lot.
