In the time it took for people to heckle, interrupt with "applause" (or was that part of the heckling? hard to tell), and explain why Mr. Berman didn't have one extra minute over 3 -- he could have finished his extra one minute statement. What a waste of time. And common sense.

The sad thing is he spoke about 1.5 minutes saying why he should speak for 5 minutes without the clock even starting. Then complained when his time was up, just like Maria Romano did, refusing to leave the mic. Everyone was clapping so he couldn't talk past 3 minutes.

@Chad (the flag waving Chad?)
The scene you refer to was sad, the sad thing, for me, is that people were so rude. I watched the woman in the audience grab the microphone pulling it down. For the rest of the night, for a dozen speakers, that microphone no longer worked. Sad, rude, uninformed, militant, disrespectful and ignorant. That is the EALS and its supporters.
btw, I wouldn't have given Romano or Berger extra time either, but I certainly do not think that mob rule, tolerated by MassDOT, was appropriate or necessary. But apparently, you support the mob and a good dose of the good ole clap.
