We can only hope that he kept walking. Good followup by the mayor.

Did anyone notice the difference in the number of people, and even chairs, b/w the shot at 3:45 and at 6:05?  Looks like, despite the council's support, the citizens bolted.

I did and wondered if there's not some time lag in the video.  Certainly all those people did not pick up their chairs and bolt in 3 minutes without making a sound.

I was hoping that the citizen would say something like, "I'm probably not the only one in here carrying" and then see half the hands go up...including council members.  That would be sweet!

Good post mcurrier. I just got this on Facebook and searched and saw you had it posted. 

But I did notice in three minutes there are about three rows of chairs and about 20 people missing.

Strange.

Good on the mayor.

I hope Mr. Yonkman shows up to every city council meeting.

Probably so. I didn't see the mayor react or anything else that would indicate a mass exodus.
