Committee: Burke Broke No Rules

February 19, 2009 by Nick Ryder · 11 Comments
Filed under: Update

A month and a half after THIS GRIEVANCE was filed to the NH Judicial Conduct Committee, the committee found that Judge Burke was not in violation of the NH Judicial Code of Conduct when he famously arrested Ian Freeman for not sitting in the courtroom.

CLICK For their response

Burke allowed prejudice due to prior events dictate his action in the courtroom that day. He had a meeting, and a plan, with the sheriffs in the courtroom to arrest anyone not standing. He made it clear that what he was doing to Ian was because of the cameras. That is letting the press and public attention affect his actions, and is against the rules of a supposedly impartial judge. Who thinks that judges are an impartial mediator between police and citizens? Next time you think that, check the courtroom for who is allowed to have the guns.

Live Free or Die

New Hampshire’s slogan is “Live Free or Die”. It’s on all the license plates along with the image of the Old Man of the Mountain. Or rather, it shows the Old Man before he fell off the mountain side. Is his spirit still alive or is our freedom gone with him? Is the slogan just empty rhetoric now? I guess it’s up to us to demonstrate to the contrary.

Update: Carroll Will Participate ; Not Fight ; Resist Any Fines

In a well publicized and attended protest, Andrew Carroll held a small piece of marijuana near downtown Keene. His purpose was to illustrate in person how just holding a plant can draw unprovoked violence and kidnapping from government, an organization claiming to “serve and protect” the common man. Approximately 20 minutes after his protest began, Keene police officers showed up, and took Andrew away in handcuffs for “unlawful possession of marijuana.” After being held by police for about an hour, he was released with a court date to enter a plea on a class B misdemeanor.

That court date is on March 3rd, at 8:30am in the Keene District Court. There is less than 2 weeks until then, and Andrew agreed to an interview to answer some questions about the upcoming day. While he will be attending his hearing, and possible trial, Andrew says he will not be preparing any legal defense, and says “Any statement I make in my defense will be a moral one; I won’t argue legally because I’m clearly guilty of a crime.”

For more information, see Andrew’s interview below.

“Like cocaine, Ritalin is a powerful stimulant that increases alertness and productivity. Ritalin and cocaine also look and act the same. Both have a similar chemical structure, and both increase dopamine levels in the brain. They do this by blocking a dopamine transporter protein responsible for the reuptake of dopamine at the synapse.”

“Ritalin is not addicting when taken as prescribed by doctors. Why this difference between Ritalin and cocaine? Ritalin is a pill that you swallow, so the drug takes longer to reach the brain. Cocaine is taken in high doses by injection or snorting. It floods the brain quickly with dopamine, which makes it dangerous and addicting.

Unfortunately, Ritalin is quickly becoming a drug of choice for teens. It’s relatively cheap and accessible. And because it’s a prescription drug, it’s perceived to be safe. But if Ritalin is abused (taken in high doses) or taken improperly (by injection or snorting), it can be just as addicting as cocaine. This is because drug delivery methods can influence the addictive potential of a drug. ”

Drugs are drugs.

The War on Drugs has been a success. It has done what was intended: growing the size and scope of the government, militarize local law enforcement and injecting into local law enforcement tendrils of federal influence via funding.

Petition Opposes Downtown Business Restrictions

I was contacted yesterday by a downtown Keene business owner, Nicholas Sansone, owner of Moda Suo Studio Hair Salon on Main St. Apparently certain members of the city council have proposed an protectionist ordinance that will restrict bars from being opened within so many feet of any existing bar in downtown Keene. Nicholas has created a petition to oppose this ordinance and would like to invite you to sign it. I have signed.

Nicholas has told me that he will be attending the next Social Sunday event to meet up with local activists.

“We Will Record”

That is what NH Free poster J’raxis 270145 promises to do if a certain bill does not pass the NH Congress, and he gets the pledge of 9 other activists. HB312 (2009) gives specific permission for citizens to video and audio record police officers if they’ve given notification. No consent is required. However, signers of the pledge promise to record public officials in defiance if the bill does not pass.

The legality of audio recording a public official has long been debated, and when pressured, officers have not pressed charges. However, Cooper Travis was handcuffed for recording an officer when asked to stop, but he was released with no charges filed. Dave Ridley often refuses to turn off his camera, and is yet to be arrested for doing so. New mover Sam Dodson also has experience recording officers, and has had some experiences with the Keene court bailiffs regarding cameras as well.

I have also signed the pledge, so to the KPD, if you see a guy in an orange hoodie standing pointing a video camera at you while you have someone pulled over, or in handcuffs, that’s me.

NHLiberty.org Rally Announcement: Mar. 4th, 8am in Concord

Normally I’d advise avoiding politics, but this is a pretty big opportunity to send a message to the Feds and show the strength of the liberty activist community in NH. -Ian

From Denis at NHLiberty.org
WHAT: Rally in support of HCR6
WHEN: 8:00 AM, Wednesday, March 4th
WHERE: NH State House, 107 N Main St., Concord [ Map ]
WHY: The Federal government has gone far enough. We need to draw a line in the sand. If there is further egregious, serious disrespect of the US Constitution by the Federal government, then New Hampshire must reclaim its sovereignty. See the interview on Glenn Beck here; longer interview here.
WHO: YOU! Not “somebody”. Not “those people”. YOU!!

HCR6 came out of committee with a surprise “Inexpedient to Legislate” recommendation.

For those that remember it, this is a replay of the resistance against the bills to get NH out of Real-ID. This is unacceptable. Fortunately, we have a playbook. We know what it takes to move this forward: MASSIVE PUBLIC SUPPORT!

ACTION ITEMS BEFORE THE RALLY:
1. Email or call your State Reps. Simply, courteously, ask them to support HCR6 when it comes to a vote. Their contact info is here
2. Contact the Speaker of the House, Terie Norelli, terie.norelli@leg.state.nh.us or (603) 271-3661 and ask her to support HCR6 when it comes to the full legislature for a vote
3. Pass this info along to everyone you know
