Ok.  Now the Council president has lost his mind (and temper) and cleared over two hundred people from the room for clapping after a speaker.

Good!

Stephen, does MJ have press credentials? Lori says you can hang if you do.

Bill Bishop turns into a third grade teacher. Kicks everyone out of the chambers "bring them back in one at a time. "

Someone yells from the gallery "You can't do that man..."

"No, if they can't pay attention they have to go. Officers clear them out and bring them back in one at a time."

This is in response to applause coming from the audience regarding Metro Park. The gallery forgot. The concert lovers are truly being treated like they are kids.

Wondering if Council Presidents have to go through audience discipline training.

Hahahahaha

Yes, MJ does have press credentials. Ock, Stephen and Arash are still in the room. The crowd has been sent into the Lynwood Roberts Room and will not be allowed back into the Council Chambers for the rest of the night.

There going to call them back 3 at a time, one can speak while the other 2 clap!

This concert promoter is giving back as good as the entire pack of wolves is sending.

There was an answer to this problem sometime back in Portlandia.  I should have sent this video in tonight with my son to present to council.

Concert promoters are okay with a temporary waiver. The discussions and whippings will continue at a later date.

Wow, wow, wow, wow. Redman says to a promoter "you have gone out and stirred out these people to think we are going to shut down metro park."

promoter:

That was your initial intent. You wanted to shut down the park.

Redman:

That was not my intent. It was my intent to shut down the park...until we could get everything figured out. 

Promoter:

turns away from redman and addresses council and essentially says "let's create a permanent fix."

No doubt the Portlandia population has already visited the guy passing out the Belladonna in the back of this room.

Don Redman is now bullying the well meaning coordinator of the Rockville festival.

I guess there is blood in the water, so the bottom feeders are attacking.

This is embarrassing

The crowd is gone, no pressure now.

Of course Bishop is scolding the promoters by saying we have a whipped up mob, delivered by a radio station offering free concert tickets

[Ocklawaha]

Bishop is asking for the concert supporters to chill out, (a heavy handed suggestion to go home). Concert promoters are now calling on a higher authority, Shad Khan!
