One of the people at the meeting, Daine Anderson, recalled the incident. “They said you have to take everything off that’s political. Your stickers, your sign, we don’t allow waving. We’re going, ‘Tyranny. Welcome to Australia’. There was a lot of people in there. He took off his sticker; he didn’t take his shirt off, and they had the Highway Patrol come and take him out, saying he was disrupting the meeting. It was in recess. He wasn’t disrupting.”
Watching the man being arrested, the crowd around McCay grew even more agitated, yelling, “You guys should be ashamed of yourself. You swore an oath to us, not the government.”
Having been slapped with a Class B misdemeanor, the man received support from Utah State Senate President Stuart Adams. “We’re kind of sorry that happened, and my hope would be that we would move on and that we wouldn’t want to see anything like that result in criminal charges. We obviously have great policies in place, and we hope to perfect those as we continue on. We’re looking at the incidents, and we’ll just continue to, again, try to learn from what we’re doing.”
At the end of the day, House Bill 60 passed 7 to 2. And again, the bill “enacts a prohibition on the use of an individual’s immunity status by places of public accommodation, governmental entities, and employers.”
