Part 7/7 - Jan. 22, 2012 - Individual Expulsion Vote - General Assembly - Occupy Richmond, VA
Channel: OccupyRichmond2011
Date: 28/01/2012

After nearly 3 hours of discussion, questions, debate, disorder, and members leaving the meeting a vote was finally held to expel a former member of Occupy Richmond, who resigned from the group earlier in the evening during the Free Speech period [See, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe62t-P_2O4 ].  

The vote was 18 in favor, 9 stand-aside, and 3 against.  The was some confusion and hostility surrounding the outcome of the vote (prior to the vote it was stated 28 members were present, it turned out to actually be 31 with one individual who did not vote) but at the next General Assembly of Jan. 26, 2012, the vote was affirmed and the minutes amended to reflect the positive vote.
