Mayor Christopher Krohn threatens to have anti-war activist, Susan Zeman removed from the council chambers when she attempts to speak at the oral communications portion of the meeting. Zeman had been in a group which Krohn had earlier indicated would be allowed to speak. As Zeman left the podium, not having been allowed to speak, homeless activist Robert Norse gave the Mayor a "Heil Krohn" 1 1/2 second, silent hand gesture in response. Krohn did not even see it. Councilmember Tim Fitzmaurice interrupted the proceedings to complain, and insist that Norse be removed from the chambers. Krohn had Norse arrested, handcuffed, and jailed for what he believed to be his first amendment rights. Norse was never prosecuted, but later filed a Fed. lawsuit for false arrest.Mayor Christopher Krohn threatens to have anti-war activist, Susan Zeman removed from the council chambers when she attempts to speak at the...all »Mayor Christopher Krohn threatens to have anti-war activist, Susan Zeman removed from the council chambers when she attempts to speak at the oral communications portion of the meeting.
