good for will and stephen for fightin’ the good fight.

i myself, am stepping out the ring for now.

The BAC meetings i attended filled me with such an uncomfortable level of frustration. It was palpable and almost toxic.

They got me thinking-

Why do i ride a bicycle?

something about, because it is fun and really good for my health and spirit????

Also, riding a bicycle really is the best way to commute around a town. Perhaps City Officials in LA will make some accommodations for us cyclists, one day down the road.

Here’s to unicorn wishes and fairy tale dreams!

At the very least, it would be circuitous and time consuming, not to mention wasteful of taxpayers money, in terms of another case clogging up an already overtaxed justice system.

Markland, you’re right for asking:
“So what’s it going to take to get everyone to understand some of the simplest of rules?”

Somehow, I doubt the answer to that would be “lawsuit.”

But, Will’s rights were violated. He was hassled on the way in. You shouldn’t have to argue your basic rights to get by a doorman/security – not for a second. I don’t think its too far a stretch to see how the security guards actions might scare someone away from being part of the governmental process.

It is correct to sh*t talk those that trained the security guard. That poor dude’s job is to do what he’s told and if something bad happens, you can be he’s the first to get the axe so the building supervisors can say whatever situation was created was “Dealt With” accordingly.

So the beef is with DWP, not the guy who only knows that his job is to make sure he knows who is coming or going.

Any more hate leveled at him is akin to ass-munch travelers at the airport shrieking bloody murder at TSA agents because those poor dudes wrote the regulations and policies, right?

So – props for knowing your rights under the Brown Act – further complaints should go straight to both DWP and the board(s) holding meetings there.

Sue? For what?

Will *almost* having his rights violated?

Surely the justice system has more important things to deal with than with each and every incident like this.

Besides which, what would Will stand to recover? Compensatory damages for his time wasted?

I’m sick of people thinking that the solution to everything is to sue.

On another note, I think a great resource would be a site/blog that collects info on all these public meetings into one easy-to-use source. Is there anything like this already?

Angles in the DWP elevators??? They probably got lost on the way to the cathedral up the street.
