Burnam Arrested for Speaking Up | Dallas News
Description
Former Texas state rep Lon Burnam made headlines when he was arrested during a Tarrant County Commissioners Court meeting for protesting the mistreatment of Base Mego, a disabled attendee denied microphone access. Burnam, known for his activism and past peace movement ties, called his arrest civil disobedience aimed at exposing voter suppression. Though banned from future meetings for six months and held in a secure but not general population cell, he’s now considering legal action against Judge Tim O’Hare. Mego, inspired by Burnam’s solidarity, sees the moment as a beacon of hope for civic courage.
