Jackson Council Meeting Outburst

the antithesis of that nobody's asking

that you give us what we want

immediately all that we wanted was that

we'd be able to have a conversation in a

less volatile atmosphere where you know

calmer heads could come together and

find the workable solution I don't think

that it's anti-semitism or a racism

that's necessarily driving this I think

that anytime that there's a you know

there's a change of population and one

of the reasons I moved to Jackson was

because the same thing happened where I

came from where the Hasidic Jews were

moving in changing the zoning and

putting in eight families where it

didn't once I'm absolutely aware of how

it works although we were asking was

that the language include the

opportunity to request a request the

very variance or Norden or a change to

that anybody that that thinks that that

this is necessarily anti-semitism is I

think mistaken I think there's just a

any fear of change or any other person

it could have been Jewish we could have

been any other outside minority the idea

that someone has to be an anti-semite in

order to be against there if I don't

think that's true but for someone to

come to a council meeting against the

string that they literally would not

have noticed if we didn't tell them

about it beforehand does it doesn't make

you a racist just makes you a petulant

child so that's that's just something I

wanted to get on the record as well

everybody here pays pays a lip service

to respecting the flag and we pledge

allegiance to the flag and we talk about

how much we care about our veterans but

essentially what happened tonight was

pissing on the graves of every single

veteran that died for our freedoms and I

know that back you all one thing right

now let me correct you on one thing

I'm talking let me correct you on one

thing nobody's given a lip service to

the Pledge of Allegiance this room

especially me and don't you even dare

say that the entire before it starts

every single time we start this by

saying it's all about conversation it's

all about conversation this ordinance

does nothing but shut down our session

on you say it's it's not a veteran favor

to me that I can you say it's not a

veteran we ask that you understand that

you completely ignored us you completely

ignored us please sit down mr. Egan I

said it as not a we we came and we had

you say thank you sir

you
