The live meeting took place at a school in East Carver County just over a week ago, reports Aftonbladet.
The meeting was held after the municipality's school board decided that all students should have mouth guards. coming weeks. About a hundred residents participated and many were upset about the decision.
The atmosphere was angry, says Jonas Sjöberg, whose daughter goes to a private school and is not affected by the decision, for Aftonbladet. Some parents likened the decision to idiocy, tyranny and Nazism.
Swedish Jonas, 48, however, chose to defend the authorities and claimed that the opposition at the meeting was not representative of the population.
– I went there because I wanted to tell something positive. I understood that people might not be happy about what I said, but I did not think it would be a fuss, he tells Aftonbladet.
In the video he is heard thanking the school board “from the bottom of his heart” for that they “are forced to make tough decisions”.
Another man then accused Jonas Sjöberg of lying and attacked him with a chair. Then the riot escalated, while the police were called to the scene and two people intervened against the fighters, writes Aftonbladet.
The video from the riot has spread throughout the United States. Jonas Sjöberg, who moved to the USA 22 years ago, believes that the reason for the resurrection is that the video is such a clear illustration of the anger at school meetings all over the country right now.
