Chinese take outs from Monday
Council members squirmed Monday night when several Chinese women and Falun Gong-ers brought their stories of torture, abducted family members and organ harvesting by the Chinese Government to council chambers.
What a bunch of kill-joys.
With a stack of cards for more speakers in his hands, Mayor Bill Bogaard held over further public comments until the end of business after 10 p.m., but that didn't make the women go away.
Three or four more speakers were followed up by this woman one council member, on double-super-NORLY-secret background described as "pretty hot."
Sitting in the back, the Falun Gongers watched the council fall over itself to understand her poorly articulated description of why she lacked "enjoyment" of her Prado condo because a door made too much noise.
MISSING from the lineup was Mr. "Too provactive? Too subtle?" Faulkner," known for his Dada-esque "light ups" on the Youtubes about the Pasadena Humane Society and "spineless twits" on the council.
Feeling touched by greatness at the previous council meeting, I stepped outside to ask about the "false and misleading reports" and figure out what he was so pissed off about.
Apparently a review done seven years ago could not confirm the Humane Society was conducting patrols it said it was, he explained.
Apparently he blames the society for all unleashed dogs, and much of his anger stems from an incident some years back where he was attacked by another person after having to physically intervene to prevent an unleashed dog from attacking his in a city park.
Dogs are a big part of Faulkner's life -- he trains them. If his story is accurate, it's imaginable he'd have some traumatic response to being forced to harm another animal and be perceived as abusive.
When we're hurt, we want retribution, and Faulkner's blame of the Humane Society hasn't lost its edge over the years.
