Buckle up, I’ve got a crazy story for you about local politics when it intersects with national nutjobs.

Context: I think most of us accept that even in public buildings such as a courthouse or library, some areas are not open to the public—for obvious reasons that don’t have to be explained. (kinda like you don’t walk into a bathroom if the door is closed….)

Anyhoo….moving on.

Apparently our city hall is owned by the state courts—it’s a courthouse that we get to use as a city hall.

2/3

A couple of J6’ers are going around the state conducting “public space audits”, as in “we want to see how public this building actually is, so you have to let us in and if you don’t we’ll make your life hell.”

The first people the J6ers encountered were officers of the court and they didn’t take kindly to being bossed around by ruffians, so things got heated, and the J6 guys filmed the confrontation and posted it online, showing their “rights being infringed.”

Of course they did.

part 3

The next person they encountered was a city official who is very good at keeping a deadpan face, and he spent hours with the J6’ers being as non-confrontational as possible in order to keep them from creating video that could be used against our city govt to “prove” how “repressive” they are.

Has anyone else heard of this tactic?
