Edison, NJ City Council ejects citizen for holding American flag during meeting

[Zincwarrior]

There is already a large flag in the room.
Why should a citizen need to wave a flag during the proceedings?
Should he be allowed to wave a 10 foot flag?
A TRUMP flag?
A Confederate flag?

I want to use my constitutional right and wave this flag while being dressed like a pirate. YARRR!

 

[BackAgain]

They banned “props.” And now they say a U.S. flag and a copy or the U.S. Constitution are mere “props?”

One would assume that any city council in the United States would grasp something as simple as our 1st Amendment.

The Edison City Council behaved disgracefully.

It ends in 47 days.

Well. The problem is, this kind of shit will continue on.

 

[WEATHER53]

Its not hard. Why did this dude show up at a city council meeting to waive a flag like a moron, and have no other purpose?

Do you know how big it was and that he was vigorously waving it about?
Or was it about one foot by one foot on a tiny stick

It's not your call, fascist.

Makes one long for the days when government officials acted this stupidly, were tarred, feathered, and ran out of town.

Not for long.

And as long as it does, it will only happen in foul blue cesspools.

God Bless South Dakota.

I watched the video Russobot. He wasn't actually discussing city council business.

Tell you I have never been to a city council meeting without telling me. You know meetings are for actual business right?

~~~~~~
City Council or Town Board meetings are supposedly open to the public and residence. normally are allowed input can question those on the council.

yeah, the Feds cannot be involved in what is essentially a local political thing.

They should just vote them out of office or sue them out of office.

 

[rightwinger]

Why should a citizen be banned from waving one?

During a meeting…yes
It applies to all “props” brought to the meeting

If he is allowed to wave a small flag, why not a large flag?
Confederate flag, Nazi flag

You have to draw the line somewhere and there is already a flag in the room

Could someone wave an Obama flag in South Dakota, or maybe a nice Black Panther flag?

I want to wheel in a nice six pounder cannon when I bring up my flag.

He should be allowed to do any of that.

Understand?

We do.

And then we sit back and watch as the dems commit suicide.

Understand?

through the whole meeting? What if others want to talk?

Now you're just trying to get Me excited. lol

Others can talk.

The ONLY people who should be silenced in any government meeting is the government employee.

They work for us. We do NOT bend the knee to them.

I'll bet you're big sad that the Russian spies in Biden's administration are out on their asses in a few weeks, huh?

Not going to be a very productive meeting if the actual people meeting can't talk. Its an interesting strategy I must say.
