GREENFIELD, MA – A war against cameras is being waged everywhere there are unaccountable governments. On one side you have the public “servants” and law enforcers who like to film others but don’t want to be filmed. On the other side you have those who want government to be more transparent, especially in areas of justice where they enjoy monopoly privileges.
At first the jury for the State v. Pete Eyre and Ademo Freeman had four people who were ready to vote “GUILTY” for their use of cameras inside a government building to record government employees (law enforcers). The other two jurors were not and, at least in the case of Darcy Merchant, were willing to sit there all day until the Jury declared Pete & Ademo “NOT GUILTY.” We were fortunate that Darcy agreed to speak with us for the following episode of Talley.TV:
Pete & Ademo had a lot of support. From the internet and the hundreds watching the live stream to the over fifty individuals who traveled to Greenfield to witness their trial. Other supporters were from the local community. But the most important supporter had never met Pete or Ademo before the State brought them together. Darcy Merchant essentially “Cop Blocked” from inside the jury room. This isn’t the last we’ve seen of Darcy. The weekend after the trial, Ademo had the random opportunity to meet up with Darcy in Keene, New Hampshire where they played cards.
Thanks to Jason Repsher and Hannah Hoffman helping to solicit jurors and ask questions. Thanks to the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund for paying the “$20 for 5 minutes” we offer the jurors.
You can read a transcript of the interview at Talley.TV but I’ll leave you with the following from Darcy:
Merchant: I didn’t believe that just because I hear a recording that – I didn’t know where it came from – I mean, honestly, I don’t know if you got to the police station and they recorded you because they were pissed at you. Just because you have a badge doesn’t mean I believe what you have to say.
You can learn plenty more about this case at CopBlock.org/Greenfield or Pete’s recent blog post with footage from the trial thanks to Beau Davis of Liberty on Tour.
I hope to speak with more jurors like Darcy Merchant or Juror Jim who spoke to Ian. If you were a juror and would like to discuss your experiences please contact me at [678] TALLEYTV or talleytv@gmail.com.
Again, the idiot recording this has no grasp on anything in regards to kratom. Sometimes I think you talk just to hear your head roar. I suggest you stop interjecting your retarded sayings because they continue to make you look stupid.
This guy won’t be elected for governor. He has no political office back ground. He is another goof activist trying to get his 5 minutes in the lime light. He has no understanding of the law. I wonder how many times he has been arrested.
I wish RNP would get educated about the issue and what addiction really means. Sending an addict to promote drug use is totally contrary to what these bills are.
I think it’s great a bill is being sought after for dental insurance through Medicaid. The only problem is other states have already done this and a significant population of dentists will not take it. Medicaid has dropped the ball on this one with late payments to dental offices, medicaid will only pay a small amount to cover costs. It’s hardly worth it.
I didn’t even watch his testimony and I said the same thing about big pharma…
Jumping Jacks – You cannot be this dumb. He is a convicted felon. He is now whining and crying because he can’t be responsible and mature enough to follow through with what is required of him. Kratom is a dangerous drug. I’m sure he will be thinking about that when he makes his prison marriage vows to his cell mate Turk.
Kratom is doing far more good than bad. I had a surgery a few years ago and I became addicted to the pain meds I was taking. It only took me a little over two years to completely ruin my life. Fortunately, I learned about kratom tea online and tried it and it’s really helped me. It was always the opiate cravings that derailed me. The kratom tea doesn’t completely eliminate the craving but it makes them far more manageable. There have been 5-10 times in this last year that I know I would have relapsed without it. There’s no… Read more »
I’m a little concerned that the State of New Hampshire is addicted to the money from their forcible monopoly on the sale of the deadly alcohol substance.
Do you think kratom would help wean these addicted bureaucrats and “leaders” ? We can’t just stand by idly while there’s an alcohol sales addiction crisis ! We have to DO SOMETHING!!!
Bryce – “Kratom is doing far more good than bad”. No it isn’t. That is why multiple states are creating bills to protect people from this drug. If it was doing “good” as you say, there wouldn’t be all this attention to make it illegal or a schedule med.
You people need to get educated!!! It’s the adulterated kratom that harms….not PURE KRATOM!! If you want to help people BAN ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO PRODUCTS!!! THATS YOUR REAL KILLER RIGHT THERE!! And Kratom is winning all over the USA because people see how beneficial it is!!
Pamela – “Kratom is winning all over the USA because people see how beneficial it is!!” Sorry, that is not correct. Many states are currently abolishing kratom because people have died while ingesting this drug. Other states are regulating kratom. Pure kranton is the most dangerous of all. From the food and drug admin. “Kratom use has been linked to serious side effects including hallucinations, seizures, liver damage, withdrawal, and death. Due to these and other serious safety concerns, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to warn people to avoid using products containing kratom or its ingredients”. That… Read more »
Jumping Jacks – “Many states are currently abolishing kratom because people have died while ingesting this drug. Other states are regulating kratom.” Hey dummy. In the majority of deaths the FDA has attributed to kratom, it’s well-documented that those subjects in question had ingested multiple substances with known risks, including alcohol. The presence of multiple drugs makes it impossible to determine the role which any one of them played. Yet they blame kratom on all of it anyway. That’s pretty dishonest reporting on the FDA’s part, don’t you think? https://www.fda.gov/media/111148/download Oh, and Gumbo says “hi” again. He really hates your… Read more »
Gabbo Le Troutstain – I suggest you re-read your suggested website. It’s a FDA incident report. These are the reports that have had a significant mortality and morbidity with the combination of specific medications. It’s like opening multiple patient’s records to see what happened. This one was published in 2011. Some of the case studies are from 1998. To bad this embarrassed you but you did need to be educated. Your childish use of name calling still resonates in you. You know it’s a sign of your lack of self confidence and self esteem. So there we have it. You… Read more »

Had you read the thing at all, you’d have noticed that autopsies on the subjects in question had ingested multiple substances with known risks, including… Read more »
Gabbo Le Troutstain – Your derogatory racist name calling (faggot) shows your racist and childish behaviors. It only proves my point that you have no self worth and you are intimidated very easily. Of course those who try to hide behind ridiculous screen names when your past screen names and petty name calling more than likely got you kicked off this forum or close to being kicked off. The rest of your rants and raves are just that. What you posted were FDA incident reports from 2011 and back to 1998.Your post just shows the infancy of your understanding of… Read more »
Jumping Jacks – “Your derogatory racist name calling (faggot) shows your racist and childish behaviors.” Holy shit. You think faggots are an ethnic group? Geez. You really are a dummy, aren’t you? “Of course those who try to hide behind ridiculous screen names when your past screen names and petty name calling more than likely got you kicked off this forum or close to being kicked off.” Uh huh. Got it. Whatever Jumping Jacks accuses you of doing is exactly what he’s doing himself. “The rest of your rants and raves are just that. What you posted were FDA incident… Read more »
Gabbo Le Troutstain – “Holy shit. You think faggots are an ethnic group? Geez. You really are a dummy, aren’t you”?
No, you are the dummy. The reference of the word “fa**ots” is a derogatory word that people used to use to show the homosexual fears within themselves.
The rest of your rants and raves fall on deaf ears because you are a troll with no education and you can’t stick to the topic of the article.
Is that so? Shit. Thanks for the info, Jumping Jacks, Hey, do you think maybe next time you could keep your hog out of your hand when your’e talking to me? I’d really appreciate it.
Anyway, Gumbo’s got some choice words for you about that Derrick J video. You should go over there and check it out.
To those who believe that krantom is too dangerous for the public don’t use it. To those who don’t agree that it is harmful take it at your own risk. Problem solved. Now if we could just restrain the violent thugs trying to ban it. I am usually against violence, but in an act of self defense I have no problem putting these people in the same small cages they are demanding others be put in.
kk – It’s spelled Kratom and it is a very dangerous drug. That is why a number of states are going to ban it or put it on a drug schedule so it can be monitored. Locking anyone up who is trying to get rid of a dangerous drug of is ludacris .
Dang, Jumping Jacks. You’re a spelling nazi too? Holy shit. That’s hilarious. Especially considering you yourself were spelling it “kranton” just three days ago.
Anyway, Gumbo’s here, too. He says hi, by the way. Well, not “hi,” exactly. I don’t think you want to know what he really said.
“Locking anyone up who is trying to get rid of a dangerous drug of is ludacris .” (sic)
Jumping Jacks, pull your head out of your arse for once you fucking twat. “Ludacris” is an actor in those shitty “Fast and Furious” movies. And he’s nowhere near as good a rapper as Sir Mix-A-Lot.
It’s going to be sorry of hard to pick between Darryl and Nobody
They should def do a post of: cage match: Darryl vs Nobody.. No holds barred!!!!
You don’t have to pick between Darryl vs Nobody.
I am running in the Republican Primary, he is running in the General as a Libertarian.
SO you can vote for both of us, as of yet!
