During the final meeting of the year for the Commission in Charles Town, chaos ensued as attendees, including Colin Stine, disrupted proceedings after being denied speaking time. Multiple individuals raised their hands in Nazi salutes, leading to ejections by the bailiff. Commission President Pasha Majdi condemned the disrespectful behavior, emphasizing the importance of orderly public discourse. This incident reflects ongoing tensions in local political discussions, evoking historical parallels to figures like Senator McCarthy and sparking debates about civility in public forums, a concern shared across small-town governance.
