More Images, "Dueling Press Conferences At The JACC Office





From top to bottom: 

Al "I Am The Community" Flowers takes a floor that is not his, and won't give it back. Next, Steve Jackson with his "Secret Service meets the Matrix" look. Quite a sharp dressed man, but that won't get you everywhere.

Third, another photo of Farheen Hakeem flipping out on Don Samuels. One bystander heard her say "DON'T TOUCH ME!" to Don Samuels. I watched the whole interaction, and never saw Don Samuels even TRY to touch her. 

Fourth, Flowers put out in the cold. But check out Steve Jackson's sweet long black leather coat! If this is what a "Sergeant At Arms" wears in the Jordan Neighborhood, show me where I can enlist.

Fifth, JACC Chairman Michael "Kip" Browne. His glasses remind me of safety goggles, a little bit. Probably not a bad idea.

The last photo shows Lisa Mitchell (in cute-as-all-get-out lavender scarf, plaid cap) who told Al Flowers to take his cell phone call outside, and got the now-infamous "I AM THE COMMUNITY" response from Al Flowers. 

Next to Lisa is Barbara Johnson, City Council President. Johnson appeared to be working hard to keep her shocked and appalled emotions from flowing over into her face, but if you watched closely, it was obvious she didn't always succeed.

I have heard one community member say that at least something was accomplished - Al Flowers was put out of a meeting - for the first time. This person said she can not remember a time in which Al Flowers was doing is disruptive thing - that he has been put out. And she was hopeful that perhaps this was the start of a new day.
