Lux Claridge, an Emporia High School physics teacher, was arrested after clapping during the meeting. Commissioners had warned those in attendance against disruptive behavior, including clapping, snapping or rude comments. Claridge and several others clapped in support of speakers opposing the Flint Hills Digital Campus data center. After commissioners issued a final warning, Claridge continued to clap, leading to their arrest.
“I’m glad to be out — but this is an inconvenience, really. It’s not really deterring me from speaking out or I guess, clapping,” Claridge said.
The city claims it was disruptive, but they also disallowed “snapping or rude comments”. Considering they dropped all charges with no prejudice, the city was in the wrong here.

FYI: “without prejudice” means that the city prosecutors are free to refile the charges again at a later date. Or they can file a different set of charges for the same conduct.

Dismissing with no prejudice means no prejudice towards the prosecution, they can refile this charge.
Dismissing with prejudice means the authorities are forbidden from refiling the charges.
But clearly, we don’t need the hack traitor aristocrat tool cunt prosecutor dropping charges to know the city was in the wrong here.
Well that seems like a clear violation of free speech
