Adam Kokesh of Adam vs. The Man and I went to the Hudson, NH Police Department to file a criminal complaint against former House Speaker and presidental candidate Newt Gingrich’s security agent who assaulted Adam earlier the previous day. When we were there, Adam was filming, and was threatened with arrest.
I told the shift commander that he was absolutely incorrect about New Hampshire law due to a 1st Circuit Court of Appeals decision that denied qualified immunity to Boston, MA Police for making a similar arrest.
It is okay to be wrong… every human is wrong about stuff all the time. It does take, however, a big man to admit that he was wrong, and Lieuteant Dyac of the Hudson, NH Police proved to be a big man. Of course, it would have been preferred that he knew the law ahead of time, but we all know that ignorance of the law isn’t an excuse for US, but IS for state agents.
I am going to write a letter to Hudson, NH Police Chief Jason Lavoie praising his commander for his willingness to admit a mistake. I’d respectfully ask you all either do the same or call to quickly ask that the Chief be told that his Lieutenant is a step above many law enforcers we’ve encountered being wrong about the law. By taking the time to research the issue before taking action, Lieuteant Dyac saved his department from civil liability. He clearly is an asset to that agency.
YouTube commenters seem to agree:
These guys are good Officers, it’s obvious? they genuinely care about people and the constitution and they where very professional. Good on them.

Dammit, I’d have offered him $49,000 for that house. Unfortunate that he made relations with his neighbors so bad; there’s no way to know when someone’s in a tight spot when they’re too much of an asshole to act like a normal person to their nabes.
So glad that worthless bastard is out of the neighborhood.
Such scum. Very neighborly, Wow.
While I never new this guy I know he’s not alone here. Just today there was a racist insult hurled at a friend of mine by a city official while on the job in an official capacity. Still though- at least one less hater about. Ultimately 99.95% of the city just doesn’t care either way about the happenings here. It’s insignificant.
“Here in the Shire, libertarian activists regularly get mainstream media coverage in newsprint” No, that is a lie unless you look at the arrest records. “t’s truly an honor to be attacked. They say you don’t take flak unless you’re over the target”. Are you serious? If anyone looks at you freekeeners you call the police right away. There seem to be a lot of over exaggeration in this article. Rich Paul, “So glad that worthless bastard is out of the neighborhood. Such scum. Very neighborly, Wow”. The people of Keene said the same thing about you when you moved… Read more »
Say Jacks, I can’t help but wonder why the decent folks over at Stop Free Keene couldn’t be bothered to set up something on GiveForward.com to collect donations for our dear friends the Schmidts? I’m sure Ian would have chipped in if they had, just like he did for our other dear friend Susan the Bruce.
#HatersBackOff haha free staters call the police.. haha haha.
the only thing about this post is: its a neighbor dispute, in my opinion it doesnt really have to do with other people much;unless you like tabloid shit.
It’s rubbing a persons face i shit. I dont think it flatters the poster of it. It’s not that dignified to revel etc…mho
‘Peaceful Libertarians’. LOL. I have personally witnessed that fat drunk nazi buddy of yours Cantwell aggressively harrass city employees and college women.
Golly Teen-Toucher Ian Bernard. Maybe not all of us are so lucky to have parents cut us a big check to move to NH and freeload off the rest of the residents by creating a fake church.
I think Ian was being quite kind about this unexpected development, David, considering the circumstances. Besides, it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to refuse the opportunity to take notice of the fact that the Schmidts here have received their just deserts.
@I See Dopes
Perhaps you should take to heart Ian’s ending sentence, ISD darling. Wasting calories publicly expressing your jealousy of Ian’s success isn’t the most enterprising of undertakings, you know.
“i see dopes” is just ugly…: he says falsehoods aand he says them in the most ugly manner he can muster….if only his mom died before his inception…
Too bad Ian didn’t start a fundraiser for them. After all, he swindled a lot of dumbasses into renovating his dump for free, by calling it a mosque.
I can’t believe the intolerance. Older males offer financial and emotional stability to young women. The age of consent in New Hampshire is 16 and Ian’s teenage girlfriend was 17 at the time. She is able to make an informed choice about her life, including whether or not to be sexually active with Ian.
