Since there were not as many yellow shirts in the chamber, there was no need to go row by row. Fire Marshall was constantly telling yellow shirts to keep people from going passed the concrete pillar in the chamber. They also were trying to keep a walk way clear from the podium to the Exit. Fire Marshall had a tough job, glad I didn't have to do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-10816138762113400262011-01-23T08:08:56.581-06:002011-01-23T08:08:56.581-06:00When the District-17 and long-term Davidson County...When the District-17 and long-term Davidson County "red shirts" tried to enter the room to speak - Diane Neighbors WOULDN'T LET THEM IN. Ostensibly for security purposes. <br /><br />She told the "red shirts" the order they had to speak in. And she didn't start with the front row of the Chamber. She didn't start with the people who came early so they could get a front-row seat & speak first. No, Diane Neighbors ORDERED the "red shirt" speakers to start with the back row of the chamber room. <br /><br />MANY Fairgrounds supporters from DISTRICT 17 were lined up to speak outside the door. Behind them were MANY long-time Davidson County residents were lined up - ready to speak. Behind them were many Davidson County residents, and behind them were many out-of-county supporters. You did not eventually hear them all because, in deference to the Council, the public speaking portion of the meeting was cut short.<br /><br />The "yellow shirts" were allowed to queue up the way they wanted. Leading with old ladies who were reading carefully-worded scripts. I believe the "yellow" shirts were part of SNAP - residents of South Nashville - not necessarily from District 17.fleamarketmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14300649571108187173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-78464449775572718712011-01-22T15:28:33.780-06:002011-01-22T15:28:33.780-06:00Thank you Ms. Cooper, you hit the nail on the head...Thank you Ms. Cooper, you hit the nail on the head. We have been treated this way from the very beginning. It's ashame that we get treated this way everytime that we go before the council but, I think the majority is starting to see us for what we really are. We are honest, hard working, dedicated famlies that all have this one thing in common. Shame on those who judge a book by it's cover.las04noreply@blogger.com
