Here we have a citizen John Labriola, asking the Library Advisory Board, meeting at the Lakes Region Library in Inverness, to confirm that the Library would comply with the County Commissioners directive regarding not having ideological displays in the Library such as LGBTQ items, (children's section).
While in the process of responding, a Board member was cut off by Chairwoman Neale Brennan who immediately called on Board Member Carol Spring to express her support for the Library displays. At which point the meeting ended without John ever having his issue not only resolved but even spoken on, John lost his 1st Amendment rights at that moment.
After the meeting ended John attempted to speak with Board member Spring in an attempt to have his question answered when another Board member Phyllis Peters grabbed John's phone out of his hand and threw it to the floor. Now that is an assault, by a govt official, on a citizen, brought about because the citizen asked a question concerning the functioning of his govt by his elected officials for which he pays their salaries, for a moment think of how you would feel.
This isn't how govt is supposed to work, its very existence is to carry out the will of "We the People," in this case it utterly failed to even answer a question & resorted to aggression. That is not the workings of American govt, that is the action of a totalitarian state & if we don't correct it today it will totally rule us tomorrow. Our Founders constantly warned us about abusive govt & left us with the duty & responsibility to assure it never happens in America.
This no longer is about John, it's about all of us here in Citrus County, exactly what form of govt do we want? The time has come for us to stand up & make sure our elected officials understand govt answers to We the People, & it doesn't attack us. Now if anyone is confused then it may be time to demand an investigation into John's attempt to interact with his govt. The good thing is there are eyewitnesses to the treatment John received & just maybe it's time to clean up the Library Advisory Board.
