Tim Adams: it is so refreshing, redeeming, and powerful to see your comment that accurately describes Councilwoman Bass’s hijacking of our community meeting. You captured her race/baiting and bullying distractions that incited threatening behavior.by certain attendees.

Before the meeting started, she demanded to be included on the stage. I explained that we had a tight agenda that was purposeful to allow attendees to have the most time of the hour and a half meeting. We did not want long speeches to eat up the limited time. Bass insisted she was coming on the stage, saying, “I know what you’re up to,” while her Deputy chief of staff (Tyrone Barge) reinforced the challenge to me. I asked her to please respect the agenda snd listen to her constituents, while assuring Bass that we would recognize her at the end of the agenda. She ignored this request.

Many attendees left without participating, and those who spoke were drawn into the Bass narrative of disinformation in her defense of KBK. Many of the 75 People who braved attendance despite the risks of COVID were intimidated by the disruptions and rage of Bass supporters. Thank you for your letter.
