Fossil, the acting Chairman is in charge of the council chambers; he holds the gavel and it’s his job to keep order in the room. If he feels that the speaker is out of order he can silence them, all proper Parliamentary Procedure.
I watched the video clip several times and felt that Rob acted as professional as he could under the circumstances. Forget about the comments Bob made about Tucker, Bob Glaub insulted a Collier County Judge...not very smart and could have legal repercussions for him.
All this talk of freedom of speech is nonsense since Bob had more than four minutes because Rob restarted the clock (watch it again) to allow him to speak. Another point is that he was not kicked out or asked to leave but asked to be seated since his 4 minutes were up. Lets at least be objective here. Bob’s statements right or wrong were not proper.
On another note, I was very impressed with Chuck Kiester as he was often the target of Tuckers indignation. Yet he was able to see past petty battles and look at the bigger picture. Congratulations to you Mr. Kiester, you have my vote!!
