Kansas Man Arrested After Clapping at Data Center Hearing

Narrative B

While ejecting someone for clapping may seem harsh, there's a reason such rules are in place. Courts have upheld ejection policies for disruptive audience behavior, and the Brown Act explicitly allows clearing a chamber when orderly conduct breaks down. The point is to protect against a snowball effect of crowd disruption and potential safety issues, so it's important not to jump to conclusions right away.
