If you think it’s reasonable to use violence to make sure a meeting stays on schedule, I think there’s little for us to discuss. That sort of thinking allows the state to continue to do fucked up shit and peg those who respond with appropriate outrage as “being unreasonable” or even “violent.” See, for example, the viral video of a trans woman being arrested in FL for demanding a tiny modicum of respect. Nothing changes by playing strictly by the rules because the people doing fucked up shit make the rules and they are designed to prevent change.

Every meeting is someone’s revolution. The boards/councils are typically elected officials who the people chose to lead these meetings. You’re always welcome to gather your peers and tell the board members that that they should allow more time to complain. Another option is to run for office and set the new standard. This is why local elections are super important, and people should get involved with various levels of government instead of just the federal level stuff.

I mean, what option do you have if the person just refuses to act right? From the explanation above, it sounds like they were making the meeting even more unbearable than it already would have been.
