MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -


A Murfreesboro man was arrested Saturday for wearing a t-shirt bearing an inappropriate and disruptive phrase at an area mall.


According to a mall representative, Bryce Myszka wore a shirt that read, "Has your gun killed a kindergartner today?" inside the Stones River Mall.


Myszka told Nashville's News 2 that he purchased the custom-made shirt from a kiosk inside the mall.


Mall authorities asked Myszka, 45, multiple times to remove the shirt or turn it inside out but he refused.


"They were actually escorting me outside the property at the time I interacted with Murfreesboro police," Myszka said, adding, "I was complying with their request and their wishes."


The mall enforces a strict code of conduct to ensure the safety of shoppers and tenants and his t-shirt and disruptive behavior was in direct violation of the code, mall authorities told Nashville's News 2.


Myszka was banned from the mall's property and arrested by police.


Myszka told Nashville's News 2 that the shirt was intended to send a message about gun control in the wake of the Sandy Hill Elementary School shootings in Connecticut.


"The intended message was 'wake up'," said Myszka. "That was the message with the shirt; stop, pay attention, stop."


Myszka is a father of a 10-month old baby girl, and a self-described gun-control advocate.


"I still grieve for those children," said Myszka. "I stand for gun control every step of the way."


He was transported to the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office where he was charged with criminal trespassing.


He is scheduled to appear in Court on January 21.

Jayne Mansfield   Jayne Mansfield died way too young on June 29, 1967 at the age of 34 in a gruesome car wreck, She was killed instantly but contrary to urban legend she was not decapitated. Jayne was called the poor man's Marilyn Monroe. She had enjoyed about a four year stint of popularity on Broadway and in Hollywood from 1954 until 1958. Her career was in decline in the late 50's and early 60's but she was still popular in Europe and on the nightclub circuit. She took her last name from her high school sweetheart Paul Mansfield when she married him at the age of seventeen. Her second husband was a former Mr. Universe named Mickey Hargitay who was from Norway. The third and last husband was Matt Cimber. Mansfield was highly educated, attending Southern Methodist University, the University of Texas and U.C.L.A. She supposedly had an IQ of 163 and was called the smartest dumb blonde ever. Of course she couldn't be too smart. In 1966, a year before her death, while

  Charlie Parkhurst aka One-eyed Charlie, Cockeyed Charlie, or Six Horse Charlie was born in 1812 in Vermont. Eventually he made his way out west to California where he became a teamster and one of the most skilled stagecoach drivers in history. He was small in stature but tough. Shortly after becoming a stagecoach driver for the California Stage Company he was kicked in the face by a horse and blinded in one eye. Charlie began his reputation as a tough driver when a robber named "Sugarfoot" held up his stage one day. Taken by surprise his only option was to give up his strong box. Six months later the Sugarfoot hit him again but Charlie was prepared this time. He blew him away with a shotgun at point blank range. Without blinking his good eye he rode off at a full gallop leaving the robber dead in the road.   He was an expert shot and an expert with a bull whip. Charlie could cut a cigar in half at fifteen paces while a man held it in his mouth. On one occasion he rolle
