Last Wednesday, Lux Claridge planned to speak out against a proposed 1,000 acre data center in their town of Emporia, Kansas. They left in handcuffs after a city commissioner ordered them arrested for clapping.

Freedom of speech does not mean you get to exercise it anywhere at any time any way you want. I’m disappointed that 404 is just leaning in to the outrage economy clickbait, I thought they had potential.
Like no shit, if you’re warned multiple times to comply with procedural rules or be removed they’re going to have you removed. You might even be arrested for refusing to comply when a sheriff is giving you a lawful order to leave, crazy.
*I guarantee you unprincipled hypocrites wouldn’t be crying about muh freezepeach if this was some chud getting dragged out of a seattle city council meeting for the exact same thing. Are you people self aware enough to realize that you’re hypocrites or are you just so addicted to the outrage machine that you don’t really think about it and it just washes over you?
How’s that boot taste
Suck my dick moron. You’re not being crushed under the boot of tyranny by a county government meeting’s procedural rules. You hypocritical idiots just think that because somebody is on your side that they should be exempt from the rules. To go a step further and call them not getting special treatment oppression is astoundingly stupid.
everyone and their dog knows if someone clapped for the opposite talking points it would have been permitted
Bullshit. Prove it. If you could do that you’d win an easy lawsuit against the county.
If they were so pro datacenter they’d be willing to get sued over unequally applied procedural rules then why did they put a moratorium on datacenter permitting.
Oh weird no response. Everybody knows it but apparently there’s no evidence and nobody wants the massive payout. Definitely not just projection from the lemmy hypocrites who would be laughing if it actually was somebody arguing for the datacenter who was arrested.
The pro-datacenter people won’t be making public comment, they are smoozing privately with the decision makers and making them sign NDAs.
pro datacenter people are the ones promoting it, the techbros.
Yes, but they aren’t standing up in city council meetings praising it. They are either the interested businesses that will privately meet with the council members, pay for advertising that keeps their specific names out of the ad, or rant in the media about how unfair it is that people don’t want the datacenters that would further enrich the tech bro.
You’re talking out of your ass. This county commission put a moratorium on datacenter permitting the same week.
I’m saying broadly, like that other council meeting where the simple question of ‘are you bound by NDA with the company’ was only answered by two of the council members and the rest refused to answer. Every municipality is a bit different, and the one where I grew up pretty blatantly held a meeting, everyone said no, the council said they were rolling with it anyway. Why in the world would a city council go against unanimous expressed public opinion? Because private opinion spoke loader, probably with dollars.
I’m simply stating that none of the public expressions are in support of the datacenters, so there’s no way to compare.
Funny, you tried to reply to me and immediately deleted your comment before I could clown on you for how cucked the gubbmint has you. Realized I know more than you about laws and rights, got embarrassed, and ran away before I could clap your cheeks, I reckon.
Run on back to maga.place, fash
Edit: Really beating those fascist allegations by DMing me death threats and telling me to kill myself
