OMG this is bad and sad.

The video of public comments at the July 14th La Marque City Council meeting begins at 1:45:00. Comments made by some of the speakers were disturbing and most were directed at Councilman Lowry.

The first speaker identified himself as a disabled veteran, fighting cancer, and was walking with a cane. He said Councilman Joseph Lowry had posted disparaging remarks online as well as threatened him to “Whip my butt”. He then challenged Lowry to meet him outside. He warned the Council that if the threats do not stop he could take action against the city.

After he spoke Lowry called for a Point of Information and then proceeded to deny the allegations. According to Roberts Rules of Order any point of order or point of information must be acknowledged by the Chair before the speaker speaks. A point of information is used to request information not to make a statement. A point of order is a challenge to the rules or the conduct of the Council, not to make a statement.

Other speakers included former Council Member James Ross, and Kayley Winkleman. Winkleman gave an update on the recall petition she submitted as well as questioning whether the Chief of Police had an active law enforcement license when he applied. Others demanded a return to civility specifically calling out Lowry.

You can see the comment sections starting at 1:45:00.
