Unfortunately, on the 8th anniversary of Hurricane Harvey, a group of unruly agitators at the Kingwood Community Center wouldn't let Congressman Dan Crenshaw speak about flood mitigation to an audience whose lives had been upended by flooding. This has to be a new low.

Sisyphus : lactation consulting was brought up by the protesters
And that is not is not important because,,,?
Behavior from someone I know was shocking. I realize scuffles online are one thing but hearing about it happening in person from someone who witnessed it, and to that extent, was very disappointing.

Do you have information about what their specific complaints were and whether Rep. Crenshaw was addressing them?
Sisyphus : Crenshaw is Republican. That was enough.
Crenshaw sits on the committee that recommended the cuts to Medicaid and the Medicaid provider tax that will create a huge hole in the Texas state budget. Those are GINORMOUS issues. No, I was not screaming, I was emphasizing the enormity of those issues. They are going to cost every one of us a lot of money and even well-being. To blame it all on a party affiliation is the easy way out.

Sisyphus : did you allow your children to start yelling unrelated demands at and over you when you were trying to tell them something? Of course you didn't. I suspect you taught them ways to communicate respectfully. This is no different.
I find the very format useless.
Have a sign-up sheet. 1 question, 2-3 minutes per person. No follow-up questions. NO time limit for the event. Use a high school gymnasium. Don't have havoc by design.

Sisyphus : and if people start to yell over everyone, shouldn't hey be asked to leave?
In a properly formatted event? Of course,
They are not formatted so as not to devolve into shouting matches. I suggested such a format.
Sisyphus : There is no defense for unruly, disrespectful behavior. Nothing can be accomplished in that environment and nothing was. Nobody is your whipping boy.* Please do not continue personal/character attacks or insults in this discussion. Gray box details Dispute
Why are you chastising me?
Did you read the format I suggested?
I love orderly processes through which issues, not diversions are actually addressed. I do better than most in them. That is why you don't answer my questions. I distill issues.
