Actually Noah, I would fully expect public schools, or any responsible adult for that matter, to be able to discipline unruly kids just about anywhere. If my kids are in public school and during non-school hours get unruly at a mall or wherever and the gym teacher happens to see it happen, I'd be very supportive of him stepping in. I just don't see the benefit of teaching kids that anytime they're not in school or on school property, they can do whatever they want and anyone who tries to stop is violtating this or that right. I know my folks would have been very happy to have any responsible adult anywhere, anytime step in if I were out of line. And I don't think protests of my rights being violated would have gotten me anywhere.
