The city council in Hondo, about 40 miles west of Uvalde, Texas, said it revoked permission for the organization's use of the space where they planned to host a meeting.
Polly Flores, who lost two nieces in the massacre, called the event an "insult," saying the Uvalde community was ready to "boycott all of Hondo's businesses" if action wasn't taken.
Nikki Cross, the aunt of Uziyah Rodriguez, who was also killed in the rampage, summed up the emotion of the gathering by saying, "What happened to love thy neighbor?" Medina County Democratic Chairwoman Sandy Young told council members, "At best, the scheduling of this meeting is hopefully an oversight and omission, someone made a mistake. At worst, this is a deliberate disrespect for the grief, sorrow and pain of these families and an attempt to shut them up, put them in their place, saying that their sorrow should not get in the way of our fun."
