Looks like it’s time for a recall election.
This is an honest question: Where were all the business owners condemning and opposing the actions of their City Council if they disagreed with them? In a city like Berkeley every business owner who disagreed with the council should have been more vocal in their disagreements IF they disagreed. Where was the outrage at the time from the local businesses when they saw how out of hand this was getting? I’m sure there were some, but there should have been a huge backlash from those who opposed the council’s nutty ideas. I haven’t heard nor did I see any during Code Pink’s uprising has anyone?
“Where were all the business owners condemning and opposing the actions of their City Council if they disagreed with them?”
How do you know they didn’t? Business owners are more likely to write terse letters to the City Council, do you think the Bezerkely CC was going to publish them?
Well, that's your opinion. Maybe each followed the path they thought was best, working through their Chamber, their contacts at the city, directly with their elected CC representative, etc.. Next time maybe they could forward reports of all their calls, letters and activities to you beforehand for approval.
"Where was the outrage at the time from the local businesses when they saw how out of hand this was getting?"
Some people think that expressing outrage in the way you define it makes one look like a goofball.
"I’m sure there were some..."
Probably, but we can't let a little collateral damage to a few supporters get in the way of our scorched earth battle plan to destroy anyone within arms reach to make ourselves feel better.
"...butt there should have been a huge backlash from those who opposed the council’s nutty ideas."
Well that's your opinion, General Patton. Maybe it would be better if you were in charge of everyone then things would get done exactly as you see fit.

Some people prefer to work behind the scenes. Just because you don't clearly see them from your FR screen and easy chair half a continent away doesn't mean they aren't there.
