I forgive you, Ronald Leslie.

Ron Leslie Ronald,

I just wanted to say that I forgive you for assaulting me and stealing my cell phone. I would also like to apologize for my immediate angry outburst. I really should have been thanking you for providing me with such wonderful footage. People as usual are saying I should “press charges”. Justice and revenge are not my intent, so you needn’t be concerned about that. I can’t say for sure there will be no fallout for you from within your organization, however.

There is a possibility the state agents in charge of your organization will be embarrassed into doing something about your unprofessional behaviour. From my perspective as one who is forced to pay your salary, it doesn’t seem like you were doing a very good job yesterday. As a captain in Keene fire/EMS you should be focusing on taking care of your patient instead of harassing members of the media. I don’t think you were acting in a manner that is appropriate for a leadership role in any organization. That said, you shouldn’t really be too concerned about fallout from within, as usually the government does a pretty good job of protecting their own from any sort of serious punishment (even with video footage of obvious criminal acts), so you’ll probably be alright.

I just wanted to share my reflections and let you know that I forgive you for your anger and what you did to me. Presuming you keep your job, I’d suggest you ignore the media from now on, or better yet actually try being friendly to them.

little so highlights the state-brainwashed nature of most FK tools as them sucking up to a statist (in this case one more loony than normal) while pissing on a "rude" voluntarist.

the difference, disgusting asshole, is that one is a member of a violence-loving mob, and the other a voluntarist you deem too insulting.

now probe jessica for her haircut theory. i can't get enough. then you can fuck off with your usual fallacious ad hominem.
Jessica

Thank you for proving our point Charley. Way to go!
charley hardman

Thank you for proving our point Charley.

you have no point. you're the worst sort of idiot: one who doesn't know what she is. contrary to the implication of your standard comment tag, your opinion is not a precious flower.

LOL Charley is so funny. He's like one of those automated carnival machines where you insert a quarter and it throws out a formulaic insult.

[scoff] [sarcastic remark, insult] [evasive, elitist retort] [insult] [rhetorical question + manufactured answer revealing certain insecurities regarding philosophy, ethics, and morality] [insult + foul language]

IF response, then

[repeat formulaic components in random order + extra nastiness]

I can imagine Charley at the dinner table with his family…

Mother: "Charley, please pass the vegetables"

Charley: "no. you’re a screamingly dull idiot. you should keep your mouth shut until that status changes"

Father: "Charley, I don't think you should speak to your mother that way."

Charley: "you just pulled a fantasy out of your ass and asserted it as truth. shameful behavior, made even worse by its oft noted fallacious foundation. you are a dishonorable and stupid quank."

You know, I'd almost rather live under tyranny than voluntarily associate with Charley… but at keyboard's length, he never fails to brighten my day =)

careful using the word "evasive".

You guys are incredible, make up reasons to have the government agencies respond to your location and then operate in a manner to elicite a heated response, manipulate the video published and then claim to be utterly wronged"

One step less from the assholes who knocked down the twin towers…

go back to fantasy world, slackah.

Next time edit your footage fellas, he seems to be fine, sitting on the floor not complaining at all, no rolling on the floor in severe pain, heck he was able to sit up, turning his head left and right to look around, even looking up to kiss his wife, but then when the time comes to "go outside" to put on a show.

Ohhhhh! I am not a doctor but this act is quite sketchy.
Jessica

Wyatt i noticed the same things. (some footage seems to be staged). But my opinion doesnt matter. you freedom fighters have an awful remark or name to call me for every opinion i have.

Did you watch the video Wyatt? He was taken into the back room AFTER he was on the floor, and cameras were not allowed in. That's when he was injured by Rivera.

What, you think it's one big conspiracy? His wife is lying about the fact that his chair was knocked over while he was handcuffed, and then EMTs were called in for no reason?

No wonder these guys like to keep video cameras out. They know if there's no camera they can get away with whatever abuse they want, and apologists like you will spin it whatever way you can to avoid holding your masters responsible for their actions.

YO!, googly-eyed hooker lover! Does that include New Hampshire Native Niggers like me???…And c'mon, Jessica-ca-ca, if we had *NO* respect for you, would we waste our time making sure you're not just some *TROLL*???…"I don't care who you are, *THAT'S FUNNY*!…GIT 'ER DONE!…"got mah red neck, mah white socks, & mah BLEW RIB-on BIER!

But if you go carryin' pictures of Chaiman Mao, you ain't gonna make it with anyone, anyhow…You know it's gonna be, alright, alrigh…&You're correct Jessica, this WHOLE FREEKEENE thing is just a CIA mind-control thing…Are we not men? WE ARE DEVO!…I could go on writin' like this all night. I'm not proud. Or tired. Or Arlo Guthrie, either…but, you can still get anything you want, except Alice. Go ask Alice. Feed your head. Feed your head….Anybody hungry???…

Wyatt and Jessica seem to forget the part of the video where he was in the back room and cameras were not allowed for some reason.

You seem to be very angry about the cameras being around and people being videotaped. Then you say the videographers are selectively editing out the police brutality at the point where they were not allowed to film and you can quite obviously see this on the video.

We get it okay, you're expressing your opinion. That's great. Yay freedom. Now other people are going to say how THEY feel. That's THEIR freedom too. I suggest two things. 1) Re-watch the video, and pretend for a second that you might actually know the person who's arguing their case. 2) Perhaps try and have some compassion for people who did nothing to anyone else yet are still dragged into your courts to face crimes that have no victim.

What I think is hilarious is how upset people get over something so stupid. Lets take our tampons out so we don't get toxic shock, and then wait a few days after everyone is finished bleeding we can stop being bitches and get along! I am a firefighter I would be annoyed if someone had their camera in my face while I was trying to work. I wouldn't have taken it into my own hands though. They're both idiots, let's leave it at that. The guy who was filming should have given up after the first time he was told to "get the camera out of his face" but instead looked for further confrontation, and the EMT shouldn't have taken things into his own hands. I won't be checking this to send back a response fighting for my opinion like all you others who clearly have way too much time on your hands, so if you want to argue you're wasting your time haha

What should I take out if I don't have any tampons?
just here

I dont understand you guys. Why would you give a firefighter EMT a hard time? I dont care too much for cops myself, but why bother the FD? And secondly, why are the bloggers on here passing judgement on him for having short hair? "…being back from Iraq so he thinks he can do whatever he wants…." What kind of messed up crap is that?
just here

However, I love how you guys are standing up to crooked politics.
flarf

What happend? you removed it? The best comment ever made on this blog… What the fuck. I thought this was about liberty and freedom. He was just expressing his opinion. How could you remove a comment from Freekeene? It seems kind of… I don't know… hypocritical to say we are for freedom and then remove someone's comment.

I thought it would be left up so we could decide for ourselves whether it was a freestater's opinion.

I can't believe Freekeene is censored!

Just here, I think the "short hair" discussion was in response to Jessica, who originally seemed to argue that it justified him taking the camera — that the short hair meant he was like LE/Military.

And welcome .

As to the deleted comment, I have no idea, but I've seen enough messed up posts on here to be pretty confident that nothing's censored. I'm pretty sure most of what King of Keene says wouldn't be here if it was . Perhaps it was an accident or a glitch. I hope whatever the comment was, we can get it back up.

I am not the only moderator here, but I can say that I have spammed only one comment recently and that was one that repeated the N-word IN CAPS over and over again. It was hateful and pointless.
