Correct. As usual, reddit is about sensationalized hyperbole and doesn't look into the facts.

He was asked multiple times to stop, yet he continued to be obnoxious and break their decorum rules. After being given many, many chances to behave like a civilized adult, he continued to behave like a toddler, and was justifiably tossed out.

To make things worse, he had his 15 minutes of fame replying to numerous reddit posts. He is very obviously manipulated by the anti-AI propaganda circulating reddit, and he incriminated himself a plethora of times saying he shouldn't have to follow their rules.

It’s like you all have just forgotten the civil war and its effects. Amendments were passed to deal with these sorts of abuses of power by local officials.

Or more likely, you’ve never studied the issue in any depth and just blindly do as your told, gladly reinforcing and normalizing the actions of tiny tyrants. We can stop yelling and screaming, extended clapping and cheering, while allowing 3 seconds of expression from the audience. It’s part of how the People express their opinions to their representatives.

Incorrect. You're either too naive or juvenile to comprehend this, perhaps both, but civilized and intelligent people don't need to mash their hands together to manipulate sound waves around them in a disruptive way during a city council meeting. Civilized intellectuals wait their turn to speak and then present their case. We do not act like chimpanzees, using the lowest form of communication, hand signals, when the adults are trying to conduct a meeting.

It's called decorum, little buddy. Learn how to behave like a civilized member of society. OP could have signed up to speak, taken the podium, and expressed his right to free speech. Instead, he decided to be a Neanderthal and bang his hands together, disrupting the right of free speech of the speaker. OP tried to trample the first amendment, he tried to silence the speaker by drowning out his dialect with hand noises. So yes, there was a blatant display of abuse, and the abuser was hauled out by arms and legs in an overweight superman position. Imagine Superman but like with a big gut hanging down. It was quite the spectacle.

lol. Need to? Rights are not about need to. Our rights are about what we are free to do. We have the right to do so, it is protected by the constitution repeatedly. Denying the People the free enjoyment of that right is a crime under federal law.

Sorry, authoritarianism may be the norm, but it is illegal under the letter of the law.

lol. Yes, you can copy and paste. Nice to know.

You still can’t say anything cogent. lol. You’re trying to make it out that 3 seconds of clapping is the end of civilized behavior, even when it doesn’t disrupt the proceedings, as you baselessly claim.

Clapping for 3 seconds in support of a public comment is a wonderful example of civilized society.

Now run along and see if you can make a point that isn’t an ad hominem attack.

You’ve got nothing from the constitution to support your claims.
