While I totally sympathize with his message and agree with what he was saying, it seems to me the rules should be the same no matter what the topic is. Public meetings have rules and forms they follow and as long as they didn't change them for this speaker I'm a bit of a loss for any real outrage about the manner in which he was treated. The speaker understandable got a bit emotional about the subject and, in the opinion of the chair, got a bit off topic then refused to get back on topic deciding it was better to tell the chair "what he was going to do". Now if you wish to make a demonstration of emotion or resolve, then fine it's a viable tactic, but you can't go in front of any formal meeting and start telling the chair what you are going to do without expecting to get thrown out. You could be speaking about leash law and acting like that will get you thrown out. You don't do that because you are trying to speak you do it to get thrown out to try and make a point. The speaker got what he wanted and showed his commitment to his cause but why should anyone be upset or surprised that he was asked to leave?
