[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlingtonians for a Sustainable Future will be holding a rally on Saturday, June 18 at 8:15am at 2100 Clarendon Blvd. this is one of our last opportunities to oppose the plan.

What a wonderful event this was!!! It was great to gather together and then storm the County Board meeting. It felt like 2010 when so many people turned out at Democrat town halls to give those reps a piece of our mind. Then we turned them out that November.

Well we were even more vicious on Saturday morning because this is OUR community, OUR way of life.  We hit them hard, and it felt great to boo them and blow off their artificial rules against our free speech. And it’s working, we’re making it really tough on all of them. They can look all across Arlington north of Lee Highway and see a wall of furious, motivated homeowners. How do you feel confident you’ll win elections when block after block you see owners throwing down and saying SFH now and SFH forever![/quote]

Did this really happen?[/quote]

Yes it did.  They went to the Saturday County Board meeting and acted like uncivil buffoons. I don't know if this is satire commenting on it or someone who actually thought it was amazing.[/quote]

Start watching around minute 46:45.[/quote]

I was expecting some buffoonery and was disappointed. It was just some people chanting about no upzoning at the end of the public comment period.

In an attempt not to be hypocritical (as I support civil rights protests and labor strikes), I don’t like criticize non-violent protest that is mildly disruptive at best and doesn’t hurt any vulnerable people. I can’t see that these protesters did anything but annoy Libby.  So eh, I feel like I wasted my time watching that video and don’t recommend others bother. [/quote]

Okay this isn’t the same thing as a civil rights protest or a labor strike.  But whatever.

Why do you think normal people don’t want to be public officials anymore.  This type of culture.  It’s fine to disagree but stuff like this is toxic.  But sure it’s not violent.  Good to know that’s the only line we don’t cross anymore.  Until we do.[/quote]

DP. It’s a protest of a potential government action.  It’s actually exactly the same as the examples you provided.[/quote]
