      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.
