A Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputy escorts Aaron Moyer, a self proclaimed atheist, out of the Hamilton County Commission meeting after continuing to speak when asked to stop Thursday morning.Two residents who publicly oppose opening prayers at Hamilton County Commission meetings were escorted out of Thursday’s session.
One of the men was sitting quietly in his seat when he was taken out of the commission room by a deputy sheriff.
Aaron Moyer was speaking out about the prayers during the 10-minute public comment period when Chairman Larry Henry asked him to sit down.
Moyer instead raised his voice and defied Henry’s request, and the chairman called a deputy to return Moyer to his seat.
The other man, Tommy Coleman, who filed a federal lawsuit last month against commissioners over the public prayers, was sitting quietly in the audience during the interaction, but was escorted out.
