Waynesville, NC citizens angry for being refused entry to City Hall Board Room – Refuse to wear masks. *Comments by Brian Shilhavy* *Editor, Health Impact News* Some good news this week as apparently there is still a pulse among liberty-minded citizens in one small North Carolina town that turned out in mass to defy the City’s attempt to mandate mask requirements. When told they had to wear a mask to participate in the meeting, they refused, and the City Council and local police backed down in front of the angry crowd. This is the kind of action it is going to take across the country to stop medical tyranny. Waynesville caught off guard by public outcry over proposed mask mandate by *Becky Johnson* *The Mountaineer* <https://www.themountaineer.com/news/waynesville-caught-off-guard-by-public-outcry-over-proposed-mask-mandate/article_eecfa4f8-18da-11eb-a7c0-579b270c6588.html> Excerpts: Waynesville leaders backed down from a proposed local mask mandate Tuesday night after nearly 100 people packed town hall to voice their opposition. Tensions rose before the meeting ever began when the assembled crowd — who were being held in the lobby until the doors opened — learned there wasn’t going to be enough room for them all in the town board room. Those wishing to speak were told to fill out forms and wait until their name was called. This didn’t sit well with many in the crowd, who demanded the meeting be moved to the sidewalk outside so that everyone could see and hear it — touching off a loud chant of “Take it outside.” Town staff and police officers eventually quelled the crowd and convinced them that waiting for their turn to speak was the only option. Another uprising ensued after the waiting crowd was told they couldn’t come in without a mask when their turn rolled around. The vast majority weren’t wearing a mask, given the whole reason they were there in the first place was to speak against the proposed mask mandate. Some claimed exemptions for religious and health reasons, but others simply said they weren’t going to wear one and it would violate their rights to be denied entry to a public hearing on that grounds. In the end, masks were offered but not compulsory. *Click on the link for the rest.* --- Support News from Underground: https://bit.ly/NFUSupport Visit News from Underground: https://markcrispinmiller.com You received this email because you are subscribed to News from Underground.
