Ronnie “Reeferseed” Gjemre banned from Travis county meetings

Travis County Judge Sam Biscoe kicked out Ronnie “Reeferseed” Gjemre, a commissioners court meeting regular, and banned him from speaking there for four months.

Gjemre attended Tuesday’s meeting to speak on an item about making changes to Central Health’s budget and Biscoe asked him if he has “anything relevant” to add to the item.

“Please don’t insult me with that idiotic question,” Gjemre said.

A one-time candidate for Austin mayor, Gjemre often speaks at public meetings about topics such as voting machines, fluoride and the overreach of government. Gjemre was eventually escorted out of the room by sheriff’s deputies. This is the second time Biscoe has banned Gjemre from speaking at commissioners court meetings.

oh wait, free speech is supposed to be a "right", not a privilege.

Never mind.

Seems Judge Biscoe is a thin-skinned immature fascist asshole.
