ross mirkarimi. they also want to know why an investigation has not been launched into the bomb threat that put us all into danger. we also want to know why there has been such a tremendous amount of money spent on this when the money could be spent for such better things. i am a taxpayer. i am very upset about the money that has been spent so far on what i consider -- in 2011, we voted. they voted for mr. ross mirkarimi. their voices should be respected. we also asked the the board of supervisors do the right thing when the ethics committee comes before them with their recommendations. they did the right thing and vote their conscience, reinstate mr. ross mirkarimi. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> good evening. i need to know if everyone is listening. i saw some people walking around. this is really important. i am a community organizer. i am working as a volunteer in the peninsula. i support share for ross mirkarimi. why u.s. support him? i am a survivor of domestic violence. i saw a lot

it i stand here in support of ross mirkarimi, ms. lopez, and theo, the family that has been most affected by this process. i paid attention. i watched as the questions were asked by europe -- by you all. this is a process that never should have happened. and everything after that fact has been created to justify a bad act. initially, there should not have been harshness between people love each other. as people who have families, you probably understand it gets to that point. but this process, especially the removal of an elected official, it should never have begun. i feel for you because it was begun and you have had to go through the process of wading through the mountains of evidence. i understand that you have the lot to look at here. and that is what i suggest you do. the facts from the people who were there, ross and ms. lopez arte all the people whose testimony matters here. what we are seeing now, and what we saw from the beginning of this case is the highly on to justify, i think, the responsible act of putting this forward

i really like ross mirkarimi and i like the work he did as a supervisor. but in the position of one of the lost law enforcement officials in the city, i wonder as a woman if i said to my husband, if he were an abuser, i'm right to get out. and he said to me, the sheriff, they let him keep his job. do you think anyone will listen to you? you need to think about the position that the ads and the message that sends to our city. >> can i ask for a status update as to how many people out outside? eight more. can we bring everyone who is in line right now into the room? >> i would like to say that i appreciate the comments of the public. it is the public's right to participate in this process. it is an important and integral part of the process. the comments, of course, are not evidence. and i have noticed that some of the comments have become fairly repetitive. of course, we are not in any way going to limit your right to participate. but i would urge, if there are some who feel that their comments have already been made through the voice of others, you would h

i am supporting ross mirkarimi. very simple, please reinstate ross mirkarimi. stop wasting public resources for this case. at the end, please let the people decide, not the mayor. thank you for your efforts. >> hello. my name is from the perilbrenda. of work and public health and work in a clinic for women are abused. he admitted he did something wrong. he admitted and own up to it and confessed to it, but i have patients that have been thrown out of windows, done all kinds are allowed to work. they did not take a livelihood away from the has been so they cannot the of the things that were done in the case and the level it has gone too are outrageous. for the people that want to fight for those women -- i know women who really need to be fought for. he did not hear about their case. it is not in the press. they suffer in silence. and the same people are here attacking ross. i do not understand it. it should not happen. i hope you guys do the right thing. the wrong thing would be to allow this witch hunt to go on, the political which front -- which front. -- whi

i voted for ross mirkarimi, and eric -- and mayor ed lee. i mostly voted for mirkarimi because of the sheriff he had proven to be, and the man he has proven to be. we sorely need a share to have his perspective on criminal realignment. as far as this misconduct proceeding, greatly concerned that one man can unilaterally remove an elected official from office and thereby totally disarm the democratic process. i believe ms. lopez. i believe ross. when we talk about facts, we look at those involved. both have been very clear that there is no such concern of domestic violence, which i fully oppose. however, i believe both of them. i would like the shares that our city has voted into office to be reinstated so we can do his job. thank you very much. [applause] >> good afternoon. my name is carl. i want to talk for a moment about the principles of levity, which has been associated with rules of levity, and they apply to ambiguities in the record. one of the things that we see in this case is a great deal of ambiguity. what i would like to submit t
