Last time I go over this, I know I've said this multiple times before.
Seth, let me see if I understand you correctly. Do you think:
*Ian and Sam were disruptive because they inquired from the Mayor who he was referring to drinking/having alcohol/containers etc
They were being disruptive by continuing to talk after being asked not to the first time.
Doesn't matter what they were asking or 'inquring', they were told it was not allowed at the meeting.
So yes, they were disruptive due to that.
*Ian and Sam weren't being disruptive because they drank from their containers
Since the camera(s) fail to show the actual drinking game happening, I can't answer that. _Something_ was happening off camera, since the Mayor reacts to it, as to other councilors.
*Because Ian and Sam didn't give up their rights regarding a search they were further being disruptive so they had to leave
Poorly worded, so I can't answer that yes or no. Rewritten:
Ian and Sam refused to cooperate, in fact Sam got up and harrassed the Mayor and Manager verbally, and as part of that behavior, both invoked their right to refuse to be searched. Because they were uncooperative, and had been disruptive already, they were asked to leave.
*Heika was cooperative because in part she gave up her right against a search, and as such she was allowed to stay
Yes, I think that's clear. But making the jump from 'because she gave up her right' to 'because they didn't' is the issue here: if they were already in the 'zone' for being tossed out, they weren't tossed _because_ of the failure to be searched, but for the failure to stop being disruptive. Heika is clearly not being disruptive when she cooperates.
*People who disagree/question government officials are inherently disruptive
False.
Is that a fair summary of your position?
No, since I've had to rewrite most of them, and disagree with a few.
Do you think that people who make information requests of the chair are disruptive? Or are they only disruptive if they are also mocking the government body that is having the meeting?
Speaking out of turn at a meeting is disruptive. Mocking is disruptive.
This goes back to the entire 'decorum' discussion.
I'm done rehashing this.
