In that meeting shortly after my turn to speak started, Councilor Jeslin Shahrezaei interrupted me to make a motion to end the meeting. A couple of them had thanked her in their comments for meeting with them. We knew that the protesters were coming in that night, so there was extra security. If anyone should have felt in danger that evening, it was me.
In fact, the Lakewood Police offered to escort me to my car, and did. No, I think she made the motion to cut off my defense of Israel. Furthermore, she said that people were approaching the dais. Not that I saw. Not that our Police Agents saw. She also said that I left the dais to confront the terrorist sympathizers. Utter malarkey! Why would I confront agitated extremists alone? These are the facts. I feel that Jeslin has adopted Alternate Facts. Not my cup of tea.

I am appalled by the actions of Jeslin Shahrezaei. She is intolerant of views that do not fall in line with her radical social justice agenda.
In one brief email interchange with her on the subject of the short term rental STR ordinance soon after she introduced an amendment to allow corporate ownership of STRs, as soon as she realized we were of opposite opinions, she abruptly ceased communication so much for community engagement.
She eventually had to back off that amendment due to overwhelming public blowback. Soon after that, in a Ward 1 meeting, I asked her what civic good was she trying to promote with the amendment, and how much support it had among the voters. Her first answer was some nonsense about a survey.
