Woman escorted out of town meeting for sassing muckety mucks.
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Your link goes to a scene from The West Side Story.
Worthless post. Not funny. Just weird. Ugh.
thou shalt not sass thy high ranking mucksters.
Illegal as hell. She needs to go straight to federal court. This has long since been directly addressed by the Supreme Court.
This video has been out for a few weeks now.
Karen wanted to cause a scene. Karen wanted to act out and be kicked out of the city council meeting for breaking the rules she agreed to.
So Karen got kicked out. Karen got what she wanted.
Not true. Watch the video.
Post 4.
“Funny”?
I did before posting it.
Then you know she broke city council rules she agreed to and was escorted out as she violated rules she agreed in advance to honor.
Karen was a troll. She reminds me of trolls who sign up here at Free Republic. Subject to the rules and policies of ordinary decent people that Jim Robinson laid out in the last century.
And when a Free Republic troll like this big mouth breaks those rules and exposes themselves as a troublemaking fool, they get what?
Zotted. Is that a violation of the first Amendment right? Is that censorship?
In the same way this troll at the city council meeting was Zotted as if she was also a troublemaker here at FR.
UGH..! I hated that movie...
Oh, This is a setup so she can hire an attorney to sue the city.
Fascinating.
She walks into the comment session of a public meeting with all of her rights. The council may NOT demand she avoid certain topics, be polite, not cuss, etc.
The mayor has ZERO legal right to insist that she avoid certain topics, only discuss what he allows, or observe decorum during the public comment period.
As for FR, Jim Rob owns it so you are in his house and the first amendment does not apply.
But with a public comment time, at a city council meeting... it applies with full force. The city and the police department will soon be writing her a very healthy check.
So you are claiming that city council meetings are private meetings on private property?

Show me where I claim this. And since you can’t do that - I suggest you quit making straw man arguments.
I also suggest you watch the video. Watch where the mayor told her...” This is what you agreed to...”
This was not a private meeting. It was a public forum with agreed upon rules. Karen broke those rules in her abusive little rant. And that’s why she got what she came for and was escorted out.
How dare this troll use and abuse Constitution Rights arguments to bully others in public.
The council may NOT demand she avoid certain topics, be polite, not cuss, etc.

Dang. How can so many people incorrectly respond without even watching the video.
The city council was well within their rights to keep the peace in a public meeting. Did you miss the part in that video where the mayor reminded her that she agreed to their requests (not demands) to be civil and respect the rules?
Most public forums have this simple rule. And when you have a loudmouth Karen come in and do what she did?
Throw her out.
“The U.S. Supreme Court.... writing of our “profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.”
The mayor and the police department that arrested her solely for the content of her speech will pay a handsome sum of cash for this. The government may not demand you agree to any parameter beyond allowed time.
And no, it’s nothing like banning a troll in a private forum, the government does not get to zot “trolls”. They have to tolerate them for the allotted 3 minutes or whatever.
