The mall owner's *do*, in fact, let anyone in.  And they *don't*, in fact,
require them to do anything in particular there.

Furthermore, as I noted in text Andrew saw fit to ignore, the owners don't
have to let anyone do *anything* they want; they have a perfect right to
prevent activities which interfere with their intended uses.
