(11,694 posts)During the public speaking portion of any city council, county BOS, etc... meeting people have a right to public comment. The only thing that is not allowed is direct threats to the safety of members or the public, or things like inciting violence.
I have been to many council meeting and BOS meetings and you find out quickly which of your neighbors and community members are absolutely "Nuts". The members just have to sit and listen. There is a time limit on statements however.

Reading about stuff like this or our "dangerous invasion of swamp rats" or some such, I just end up giggling madly.
