VA-ALERT: ACTION ITEM: Norfolk City Council meeting!
From Philip Van Cleave
ACTION ITEM:
As you might recall, Norfolk paid VCDL member Danladi Moore $10,000 for unlawfully harassing him for openly carrying a gun. The check was barely in the bank when the Norfolk police did it to him again on a Norfolk bus, as was detailed in the VCDL mini-update on September 22nd.
You would think that Norfolk would have learned their lesson (don't forget that Chet Szymecki and his wife, Deborah, each still have lawsuits against Norfolk in federal court over Chet's unlawful arrest last year in Norfolk, too).
We need you to join us next Tuesday, October 7th, as we tell City Council that these repeated violations are not acceptable.
As Ian Fleming wrote in the James Bond novel, "Goldfinger" - "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, the third time is enemy action."
Tidewater - you are great at huge turnouts (we had over 100 last time we did this). Can we have another big turnout to make sure our message is clear yet again?
I plan to be there at 6:30 PM and will hand out the "Guns Save Lives" stickers so all of us will be easily identified as part of the same group.
If you want to speak, you will need to sign up before the meeting starts at 7 PM. But even if you don't speak, your presence is critical to underscore our message that we expect Norfolk to respect our rights. I will ask those who agree with me to stand during my comments.
It will be interesting to see if City Councilman Riddick will shamefully turn his back on his constituents and leave the room like he did the last time we tried to redress our grievances over this same issue.
