I would place a couch in my yard to show solidarity, but in my home town (Wasilla, AK) nobody will care.

Someone ask Carl Patten about breaking an 80+ year old mans ribs in a traffic stop a few years back…

I am sad that the Keene sheeple will be incapable of understanding principled behavior. I am gaining in my years, and it seems that the fear and loathing of liberty has grown to near hysterical proportions in “the land of the brave”. Blame it on compulsory government school.

It’s allegedly a she.

I may have been unclear – the issue isn’t whether Ian should cite the Constitution (I wouldn’t expect that), but whether the complainant is aware of it. He apparently doesn’t want to be known, but unless he withdraws his complaint, he’s about to be very widely known. If _somebody else_ in Keene knows who he is, or if he’s reading this, a basic civics refresher there might be helpful to multiple parties. I’m assuming he doesn’t want to be infamous as the guy who got someone thrown in jail for questionable decorating taste. That can’t be helpful for a reputation (unless you’re playing ‘who can outdo Stalin’ over beers).

I’ll be asking if there is a damaged, complaining party, but I won’t be citing their laws in order to do so.

Ah, but Bill… therein lies the problem. Ian refuses to participate in their system at all, even to his own detriment.

It’s like offering to teach someone who hates Chess how to win at it.

If you get to trial, Article 15 guarantees your right to meet witnesses against you ‘face to face’. I wonder if mystery neighbor understands this. Since he’s so eager to maintain anonymity, perhaps somebody should let him know so he can drop the complaint and maintain his anonymity.

…help fight for our real freedom.

Aye, the freedom to do as we please with our rightfully earned furniture shall not be barred, brutha.

Rise up! Rise up ye men of worth and take sword and shield in the defense of honor and fine upholstery!

Fight and you may be caged. Run, and you’ll be free… as free as any slave can be chained to his master. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would YOU be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just ONE CHANCE, to come back here and tell those bureaucrats that they may take our lives and our freedom, but they’ll never take… OUR COUCHES!

Apologies to all for the jest but I found it overwhelmingly amusing and was compelled to post it.
