Political Statement?

I'm not sure but I think this person is making a political statement about mindless consumerism at a time when the U.S. should have much more important things to think about.

(If you're reading this from outside southern California, you might not understand that he/she is entering "The Grove", LA's newest open-air mall, from The Farmers Market, one of LA's oldest and quaintest shopping areas. Its an interesting juxtaposition under any circumstances.)

By the way, I haven't seen anything anywhere that acknowledges today as the 43rd anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination.
