A longtime citizen journalist in the Golden State, a man named Gary Gileno, has been charged with a misdemeanor for inquiring about why he was not allowed to videotape a local public agency hearing — which, incidentally, is subject to the state’s open meeting laws, according to the legal brief filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
Sorry, but this isn’t even the tip of the iceberg. Consider the case of Michael Strickland – under threat of attack from multiple sides, he demanded that they back off, when they didn’t he drew his weapon in self-defense.
