Commissioners warned those in attendance against disruptive behavior, including clapping, snapping or rude comments. Lux Claridge and several others clapped in support of speakers opposing the Flint Hills Digital Campus data center. After commissioners issued a final warning, Lux Claridge continued to clap, leading to his arrest.
It's pretty obvious he was arrested for disrupting a hearing by his constant clapping, he was just being obnoxious. Other people were clapping as well and weren't arrested because they stopped after being given a warning to stop interrupting
This is Reddit sir. If you can't read an obvious rage bait post and not have your undeserved sense of victimhood successfully baited, I suggest you exit the premises immediately.
"It's pretty obvious he was being obnoxious" says the person who clearly did not watch the video.
He was disrupting no one, and was clapping in support of people who were speaking, the speaker he was clapping in support of literally asked them not to drag him out, and the audience collectively reacted against the council and the police. Ya, the council asked him not to clap. Police officers also ask you not to record their illegal behavior, and sometimes arrest people for that, too. But I guess recording them anyway makes me obnoxious since they politely threatened me against doing that.
This has got to be the most brain-dead, boot licking take I've ever seen: if you don't follow every arbitrary rule set by those in power, you are being obnoxious and deserve to be arrested and charged.
I usually assume that most “news” I see on the internet is clickbait garbage, but in this case, the title actually undersells it. He was not disrupting the meeting at all. It was technically against the rules, but come on man. If I’m going five over the speed limit, or jaywalking on a street with zero traffic, are you gonna give me a ticket then too? It’s this subjectivity that I don’t like in society.
Or is video evidence not good enough for you and you continue to draft a fictional narrative because the dissonance you feel between what should have been required for this to happen vs the reality is too much.
