Invidious

Attn Lawrence, KS Voters: Bob Schumm needs to define his use of the word "appropriate" in his response to LJW's solicitation of his thoughts on what people can say during open public comment. His answer seems to imply he has no issue creating more legal issues for the city in order to silence certain speech he may not find palatable.

Bob? Are you implying to voters that under your watch I would be removed from meetings by police for telling you this statement makes you sound like a fucking constitutional idiot that needs to wrap his head around the fact that I can use harsh, and even vulgar, language to describe my thoughts and feelings about your bullshit performance as a shitty commissioner?

Bob? Are you admitting to voters that, under your watch, more legal expense defending lawsuits can be expected? Suits you already knew from historical events WOULD happen with this kind of attitude?

Bob? Are you acknowledging to voters that your mayoral term as commissioner will be rife with controversy over who can and cannot remain in a meeting, after speaking words which your supporters demand action to silence?

What exactly is "appropriate" in your vision of redress of grievances with government? And be specific. Your words opened this question... it's going to take some more words from you to close it.
