During the Keene NH 2010 Pumpkin Festival, a mix of local law enforcement forced a local Cub Scout group to shutdown their fundraiser. They were on private property exactly has they had done the previous 4 years.
After setting the cub scouts strait, they moved on to shut down a bake sale fundraiser for the local homeless shelter.

These are only the reported incidents; the vast majority go unreported. The frequency of cop crimes is similar every week. Do the numbers. It is not just a “few bad apples”; the barrel is rotten.

These simple minded law enforcement officers who pose as harbingers of authority, who with every word that comes from their mouth and every immoral action they undertake, walk themselves to the edge of a cliff that they themselves will choose not to return from one day. These tools, [tools have purpose and these no longer do] and I use that term loosely are fast becoming obsolete to the American people. It might be equitable one day for the people to convene common law courts online and open to America and the world , which a tribunal of people oversee, issue… Read more »
Absolutely disgusting. I'm glad this will be the last "Drunken Asshole and Garbage Festival"
The Lebanon Farmers Market figurativly chopped my dads balls off because we where selling organic non hybrid seeds at our farmers market table. Since we didnt grow the seeds our selves they acted just like these jerks. shutting down our stand. My poor father hes 70 years old, and that cunt Amy chopped his balls off right in public. a 70 year old man ,knows more about farming than that little bitch. Knows about seed, and here comes this little cunt and chops his balls off over some seeds because my dad and I didnt grow them ourselves. that fucking… Read more »
Wow, the city council declares themselves to own all the land, and magically they do. Must be fun to be the local gang bosses. I guess folks can consider themselves lucky they don't declare themselves to own everyone's homes and businesses the rest of the year. Oh wait, I guess they do, that's why you have to pay them rent (property taxes).
That's the last time I support any center stage production.
Please do not use link shortening services. As a policy, I'll NEVER click one of those links, because I have no idea where it will send me.
Sam? So what was the officer's real meaning of that? Was something "special" planned for you back at the station that day if you were arrested?
primarily that was the actions of Franklin Principal Bill Harris and Atty. Maria Gavin-on behalf of Center Stage. I think that you should pose your questions and concerns to the Keene City Council directly-
It looked silly to be the whole thing-
@bob – I didn't put the list together. It originates from a twitter feed. I think they use that to shorten the tweets. If you can find another source I'll consider using it, but these links go to MSM articles.
You can also use something like No Script to prevent malicious websites from affecting your machine.
I think this is "root striking"
i could be wrong seein as I'm a green horn.
its good though
good job .
imho
Threatening cop was and is disgusting. I suppose him threatening you was his way of "controlling" the "situation" because everyone and their mother knows that cops have control issues. My wife and I will never go to Center Stage again. Nice work Sam Dodson. Thank you for letting the blue light gang and my crappy City "Council" expose just how ignorant and careless they all are about anyone but themselves. By the way, I will never pay the "City of Keene" one bloody red cent of "tax". I operate out of Keene too. I'm sure that you will come seek… Read more »
David, I think you've just invented a new poetic form. I'm calling it "triangle haiku"
Fox News picked up the story, I just heard it on the radio. That goes out to hundreds of radio stations and reaches millions of listeners. 🙂
That's great, because we all know how fair and balanced Fox News is. They even tried to trademark that, so it must be true.
awesome
any press is good press :particularly if they report accurately
and if they do the audio or all the video would be awesome …….. then even more roots would be struck 🙂
I liked when sam said to the cop something like " sorry about bringing up those moral ideas earlier better not to think about them it could lead to some uncomfortable conclusions"
then that dumb cop was like "be careful sam"
like what that fucking dumb cop was saying was " ITs AGAINST THE LAW TO BRING UP THE MORALNESS OF THIS"
grrrr that motherfucker fuck him
Sam, wonderful job with the video…I hope people see how horrible Center Stage Productions really are! And just to let everyone know, the reason why the shelter did not pay the $150.00 to set up their bake sale is because they were told the street they were on wasn't part of the Pumpkin Fest. They weren't allowed to put their pumpkins there if they wanted them to get into the official count. So if it wasn't part of the fest, then why pay? I offered to compromise with Marie Gavin, I offered to pay the fee, to give away the… Read more »
C'mon, heika!…Officer Corrigan *FINALLY* being decent???…WTF???…OH!, WAIT!…You weren't there the night Corrigan stopped by Nightcap…He's got kids of his own…he actually *LISTENED*, and really did his best to *UNDERSTAND*…That's what I saw…No, I'm certainly not "defending the cops", or anything like that, but, I did see Corrigan trying his best to be a decent cop & good man. At least that night…*AND*, wasn't it DETECTIVE McLaughlin – *IN UNIFORM* – who shut down the Cub Scouts???…just sayin'…~tKoK.
Weird. Just finished all 9:23 of the video…Posted my comment above *BEFORE* I watched the video…From what I saw & heard on the video, I believe that Officer Corrigan *COULD* have resolved the situation peacefully, to everybody's satisfaction, *IF* he could have gotten support from his supervisors/Chief, etc…I think that Corrigan is both a good cop, and a good man. But, if he stays with KPD long enough, he risks becoming just another *BULLY-WITH-A-BADGE*…Then what's he gonna do???…Run for Sheriff???…///…And wasn't that KPD Captain Russo who was warning Sam not to get arrested that day???…Maybe I'm getting soft, but I… Read more »
man I can't wait to move to Keene and get my activism on, I see that Keene truly is the "Destination for Liberty Activism". Anyway if the new business pans out I'll be there.
Good for him!
It's gotta be tough being stuck in a job like that, as a decent person — being unable to do the right thing. I hope he finds something better to do with his life, which he can be wholeheartedly proud of.
"he actually *LISTENED*, and really did his best to *UNDERSTAND*…That’s what I saw"
Too bad most Free Keene people don't usually feel positive stories like this are worth writing blogs about…
Yeah, I'd like to see stories when this kind of thing happens. Don't want to embarrass someone who's trying to be a good guy though … I don't know if they'd catch flack for that kind of thing or not. I mean, sometimes people are more willing to have real, honest conversations if they're semi-private, and not going to be broadcast on a blog or somesuch. Perhaps just say "officer xyz" is appreciated for stopping by and having a real conversation, without posting a recording or anything. I did notice, in the video, the one cop (I guess it was… Read more »
canoli, I did see mclaughlin there that day in his cop outfit. (not at this incident) I guess the reason there isn't more reports of good stuff the police do is because when they do stuff WRONG it is TRIPLY WRONG as apposed to if WE did it. And they don't have to answer to anyone! There was one incident that I believe the police deserved accommodation for in Brattleboro and it was that female officer that shot that crazy guy in the hand. But even that ….the reason that's good is because she didn't shoot to kill which is… Read more »
Can anyone gve me details about the Cub Scout situation? I would like to enter a blog post about Center STage's bullying on this, on my personal blog, but I need facts. BTW, as i have said many times before, there a number of very good people (and personal friends of mine) on the Keene Police Force and in other area towns…and there are also power-tripping bullies for whom I would shed no tear if they lost their badges. It really *is* important to seperate the wheat from the chaff here. No doubt, the Keene Council will hold some hearing… Read more »
Another reason :there are TONS of people who herald the wonderful police all the time.Its the default norm .
And anyone who's says "but but this happened"…….is a peripheral voice that gets discounted.And the police aren't held accountable.
The Saturday morning radio show here in Keene comes to mind :all it is is glowing adulation for the kpd (when they regard it) and police in general
We need voices who affirm stuff that's true ,that is NOT all positive.
And thank you free staters for doing that !!!
lol
peace
Somewhat good editting…..when the top of the box flew off, (it was windy) you should have clipped that bit out.
You need better editors to try and push your agenda. Good luck. I enjoy the comedic value.
What has happened to the recordings from the Saturday talk back?
I miss those. Nothing like a good laugh to repeatedly hear, and share with those close to me.
Clever move to have one of your lot hand the ca$h to you on cam,during the alleged interview , and make it look like people were flocking to hand over the money.
Any one knows all the ca$h you collect is used for new Cameras, and promotional trash< funding Ian and Sam (if they are still 'together'). so when do yuo plan on abolishing the Gov't?
As was stated by the woman at the bake sale, , you lot were "GIVING IT AWAY", so how is that bringing in money for the 100 nights shelter?
Publicity stunt……again, and again,and again- but still gathering no gravity.
As I've mentioned before, You can leave the USA. have a fundraiser, and shove off.
You lot are funnier than Wile E. Coyote.
# Paul on Wed, 20th Oct 2010 3:30 am Yeah, I’d like to see stories when this kind of thing happens.

dennis,
nevermind
Giving it away but accepting donations … e.g. the carwash is free — but donations for our charity are accepted (required if you don't want to be a jerk)
Thanks Dennis, I appreciate your suggestions, but your recommending violating the basic rules of editing. Do you have example videos where you did it right?
It's good to know that even the most simple minded people handicapped by an inability to employ reason and logic in their daily lives, can still be entertained by my videos despite the obvious anger issues.
i think dennis should stop watching "Wile E. Coyote".
I mean..isn't 57 a bit old to watch …….
nevermind
Why don't more people yet understand that "cops" are simply sickened sociopaths? They need more love than anyone because they are mostly social lepers and jealous of people who don't "appear" to struggle in life, especially with typical government education systems these days (where most of them are created). Treat them with love to reach them, even more than the very kind camera man. The people in this video did just that. Also, I own property in Keene (or so I thought since you folks have straightened me out on the fallacy of "ownership" in Keene, thank you) and I… Read more »
"Why don’t more people yet understand that “cops” are simply sickened sociopaths?"
Talk about collectivization….
Hey holy spinelessoly, you missed what I wrote entirely. Use some smarts please. READ the very loving and inclusive statements before picking one thing you can justify your "miserability" with. Thank you and you are very welcome for enlightening you. Surely you have the guts to change… or not. Life is short, it may not be too late for you either. I've seen SOME hope in your statements but let's get back on the right path now shall we? When I say "we" I mean "you".
Saying that 'the cops' need love doesn't change the fact that you collectivized all the cops as being 'sickened sociopaths'
… and you are still miserable because that is how you see the world.
Too bad you are not willing to use the brains God gave you.
I see Bill's point(s) and agree wholeheartedly. Though I don't like to collectivize (and I don't think that is what he actually did or said) I do like to INCLUDE us as all in the same boat, or rather on the same team. He apparently sees and thinks farther to the end than perhaps some younger, perhaps more distracted folks. Thanks for your wisdom Bill.
How were Bill's words not collectivizing?
Wisdom? From Bill? hahahahahahahahahaaaaahhhhhhh. Damn. I just peed myself.
Though I don't think your comment warrants a reply I will simply assume you need help rather than simply hearing another futile attempt for an argument. Basically, his message is not one of collectivizing but rather treating people like human beings. HE is trying to RESOLVE PROBLEMS… what's YOUR deal dude? The superior plateau is the one he is on. That doesn't make sense to you? Jeesh! If not, we're all in more trouble that I thought.
Peace
Thanks Kurt.
You "got it", and you are right, you shouldn't have replied.
The devil is in the details; and we all know how deep that devil has dug now don't we?
Enough said.
I'm so glad I stopped reading the sentinel. FreeKeene.com is far superior and has far better content.
See ya Sentinel!
Hello FREE KEENE!!!
Hey, Marlo, wanna go out to dinner later???…I', 37, 6'4", 245lbs. of muscle, with 12-pack abs…_AND_ I'm a collectivationalist. I'll come collectivize you around 7PM, OK???…_AND_, the Sentinel doesn't have personalized content, does it???…~tKoK.
Dear holy_canole:…All cops have to take a psychological test before accepted for employment. Unless they test out as at least having a socialpathic personality disorder, they either don't get hired, or don't last long, either way…So, yes, it is not mere "collectivizing" to say all cops are sickened sociopaths. It's just the plain & simple truth. It is our *SICKENED, BULL-SHIT-RIDDEN SOCIETY* in the first place, which creates all the sociopathic cops…My Aunt is a child psychologist, and most of her most difficult cases are cops' kids…Sad. Very sad…Love, ~tKoK.
Sorry, I typo-d socialpathic, instead of sociopathic…~tKoK.
Great video Sam. Great song at the end too.
