You’re right on the money IMO. I saw that thread, and I can easily see how it would degenerate on the other forum you mentioned.
I don’t think race has anything to do with it. Is it right, or isn’t it right. Who cares what color the people are.
Argue the issue on the merits.
We have a new city center called Americana in Glendale. Just after Christmas I went down there to take some pictures of the Christmas tree and decorations.
I took a tripod with me. I was about half-way through taking a panorama I could place on the forum, and a security officer comes up to me and told me this wasn’t allowed. Frankly, it angered me.
Here I was in a public place, and they wouldn’t allow me to take pictures of the plaza.
I didn’t care what color he was. I did care about the absurd rule.
People should be able to take photos from the railroad right of way. Of course the Native Americans could put up a way I suppose. Dingbats.
And the reason he gave you was??? Did you write the city manager or contact your city council person??
