“The rules were largely aimed at Zimerman and his fellow commenter Sam Bellomio, two members of “StandUP-America” (Zimerman identifies himself as the putative organization’s president), who have routinely disrupted council meetings by shouting at council members that they’re “Nazis,” “communists,” “dirty motherfuckers,” and “the Gestapo.” Zimerman also regularly addresses council members as, for example, “Heil Fuhrer Bagshaw,” while brandishing his arm in a Nazi salute.”
If you ever want to bro-down super hard with any of the dorks cool kids like us who just really love public commentary, bring up this pair of dudes, who are so notorious, there are literally rules made to keep them from disrupting civic engagement.
Much applause to Publicola for covering this subject that literally only seven of us in town care about, but those of us who do care, care really fucking deeply.
