During the trial of the Trespassive Three who were charged with the dastardly crime of Criminal Trespass for refusing to end a protest at the appointed hour, the State and it’s minions made some pretty ludicrous statements. Many of them were so over the top that they require no rebuttal, simply to be pointed out and laughed at. For instance; if the jury finds these three not guilty, anarchy will reign supreme, the parks will turn into campgrounds and the grass and trees in the parks will die. There were however a few statements that I believe warrant a closer examination.
To begin with, Officer Robert Cunha stated that the reason another officer followed him into the park and recorded his interactions on the evening of the arrests was because there had been a previous incident in which officers were ‘forced’ to confiscate cameras in order to preserve evidence and they didn’t want that to happen again. While I appreciate the department wanting to have a record of what actually happened and not wanting to confiscate cameras, I take issue with the idea that the confiscations were necessary at the referred to incident which took place the day of the police brutality protest in front of the MPD.
The facts of the situation are that the department confiscated at least 6 cameras and phones under the guise of them containing evidence. The truth is that the police department had two pan, tilt, zoom cameras mounted on the front of the building and could clearly see and make their own record of what happened. Second, WMUR was there and the police didn’t see fit to confiscate their camera. I was told that it was because WMUR would have voluteered their footage. Well if WMUR was going to volunteer their footage, why did they need mine? Further, I was never asked to forward a copy of the footage I had recorded and there was no reason to believe I would destroy it. Even if I had refused to provide a copy, without exigent circumstances they should have gotten a subpoena instead of walking across the street and taking my camera out of my hand. Third, since when is the eyewitness testimony of a dozen cops not good enough evidence even without any video recordings? Fourth, none of the confiscated footage was ever introduced by the state at the dozen or so trials that took place relating to the incidents that transpired that day, so clearly it wasn’t critical enough for them to be violating the property rights of a half dozen people. The truth of the matter is that they were pissed off because their precious memorial had been chalked on and were looking for any reason to crack down on the protesters. They found a legal loophole which allowed them to do what they already wanted to do, and they exploited it.
The second claim that the persecutor made over and over was “all the protester had to do was move onto the sidewalk”. Cunha also made this assertion. This is blatantly false and the truth was captured in this video that they didn’t manage to seize on the day of the calking incident. Beginning at 4:15, you can see what happens to protesters on a sidewalk. The officers lined up shoulder to shoulder and pushed us a block down the way. At that point we were well past the ‘crime scene’ they were taking pictures of but they still managed to manufacture a reason to arrest Garret and Pete claiming that they were blocking the side walk. Well one, there was no one trying to get by so who was being blocked? Two, even if we weren’t there, they had closed the ‘crime scene’ so no one was getting past at any rate. Three, if anyone was truly blocking the sidewalk is was them. Four, they kept telling us that we had to ‘keep moving’ and arrested people for not moving fast enough. Therefore the assertion that the Occupiers simply could have moved their protest to the sidewalk is an out and out falsehood. The videos clearly show how MPD handles protests on a sidewalk.
The State was unfortunately able to incorrectly frame the situation as the protesters deciding not to leave the park and deciding to get arrested. The only thing they decided was to practice their rights to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. The State claimed that other people had ‘chosen’ to leave without getting arrested when the truth is the other people were intimidated into vacating a public area. The persecutor was right about one thing though, the trial was about choices. The City had the choice to violate the rights of the protesters or not to. They chose to. The police had a choice to uphold the constitution, the supreme law of the land, or disregard it in favor of a city ordinance. They chose poorly and in this case ignorance certainly is no excuse as I clearly informed them of these facts at the time of the arrests (beginning 9:25)
The State further claimed that the defendants were asking to be treated differently, special. The truth is they only asked for the city to abide by the supreme law of the land as written and understand that they are not above the law nor are can can flout it with arbitrary edicts known as city ordinances. If bureaucrats are allowed to tell us when, where and how we can assemble, speak and seek redress of grievances, then we don’t really have rights which protect us from our servant government, we only have priviledges granted by our government masters. In the end what this trial illustrated was that HDT was the man, as are those willing to follow in his footsteps of disobedience.
It’s so great to have Jason Gearhard, Frank, and other activists in New Hampshire fighting for liberty. Imagine a place where you’re not alone in that fight for freedom. That’s New Hampshire. If you aren’t here it’s why you should be.
The thing is though .. their activism doesn’t amount to diddly squat and they wind up in jail for a long time like Gerhardt did
Who even knew he was in jail for 12 years?
This isn’t a crime where you’d sit in jail for 12 years if convicted and Jason Gearhard is a legend in libertarian circles. His cage time was not in vein. It’s his actions and others like him that are the reason the Free State Project has been successful in attracting the large numbers it has. It’s activists like him who have taken risks and given us something to huddle around and a reason to keep fighting. Without people taking risks and actively demonstrating resistance there would be no movement. Without people like Jason we have no hope for a free… Read more »
I been around and never heard of him.
If you haven’t heard of Jason Gearhard you’re probably not paying close attention to the more significant libertarian news channels- particularly those focusing on New Hampshire. Jason Gearhard spent 12 years in a cage for supporting a tax protest in northern New Hampshire. This in the early days of the Free State Project. He got out this past year and has taken the state by storm. He ran for office, got elected as a house representative, and is now being charged for civil disobedience in refusing to obey orders to not film at a federal courthouse. His goal is to… Read more »
That’s good.. they are in TROUBLE..
And it could be DOUBLEE..
Are they going to have good lawyers?
Idk if footloose should be let loose pro se.
He’ll scream and yell..
Ear protection should be provided at the door of the court, if Footloose is going defend himself.
He should do it bearfoot though, then his feet will be loose.
Those sound like some good lyrics Dave. Now they just need a beat . May I suggest the xylophone?
You are a bore
Don’t worry David, this guy’s a fool just like 1st amendment frauditors! They accomplish nothing but are the most entitled brats ever. Gearhard is a POS and his lens lickers are too enthralled with his foolishness (cultism) to see how dumb they are, look and how much they disrupt the public instead of helping like they say they do. Anyone who supports these people are fools and they’re the real sheep!
I always think of Gerhard Schroeder with the name Gerhardt..
And I don’t even know who Gerhardt Schroeder is
I wanna ax Ian if his activism was worth it.
I know that his impending sacrifice hasn’t been meded out yet.
But I guess that he has a good idea, at least in a theoretical sense.
You’re STILL here? lol
You should go do activism. The kind that really puts your ass in jeopardy.
Poser!
Why aren’t YOU facing 20 years!?
You are all gung ho about others doing it!
Dumbass
STFU
And what have you done? Besides ride Ian’s coat tails and then throw him under the bus. You hate him, yet live on his blog. like a dyslexic, mentally-ill schizophrenic. A leftist-libertarian joke. You don’t know what you are. besides desperate and trying to fit in. anywhere. go back to being irrelevant, fool. And move back to Massachusetts, you don’t belong here
You are talking out of your ass..
AND, “both sides of HIS mouth”……
That’s what they usually do. I mean lens lickers and frauditors. Again they accomplish nothing but act like they’ve changed the world!
disgusting, contemptible human being you are. Children are afraid of you. I have proof!
Of course you do.. Lol ..
Clown.
Oh look, he knows you Dave.
You are boring
your mother suks cokk.
A federal Court being a “constitution free” zone? Shocking!!
Yup. They’re obviously doing it to defend rights. Or something. Right Karl?
There is nothing in the Constitution that entitles you to operate your camera inside a courtroom.
The Constitution doesn’t “entitle anyone”. It was alleged to be a kind of limitation / structure for how government was supposed to work, checks and balances and all that happy horse shit. etc. I should have been more specific and said bill of rights, which is part of the Constitution. Several articles could be cited, I’m sure you are familiar with them. There is nothing in Constitution where every person got a chance to review and sign this rights (consent) destroying document either, but I’m digressing. Anyhow, isn’t it ironic that Fed courts record others, but don’t allow others to… Read more »
Yeah something about inalienable rights endowed by or creator or something like that Karl. So do you think the government is our creator now or something?
This definately doesn’t surprise me. There will always be activists freekeeners who do stupid things and that supports why the law is there.
Federal cases are much more involved than state. Since Ian ran his fraudulent bitcoin “business” on the dark web, and doing business all over the USA, he was tried in a federal court. The freekeeners have always proven why an unjust law to freekeeners is never overturned.
All in all they just ad more criminal convictions to their criminal records, It’s like a clown show.
Oh Jacks you and your imagination.
Half these people don’t even live in Keene Jacks. I don’t think either Jason nor Frank live in Keene. Keene has always had amazing activists, but it’s a little absurd to suggest the activism is solely relegated to Keene within the Free State Project sphere. It’s more like Keene activists have focused on publicizing activism and garnered the reputation rather than it just being Keene activists doing activism.
Jacks… whats with the lies? Certainly if there was evidence Ian did business on the dark web that would have been utilized by the prosecutor to attack him.
I’m sure Jacks will be right along soon to apologize for not accurately describing the provenance of the libertarian jackasses. Seriously though, why even make this point? Do you think he (or anybody that isn’t a libertarian jackass) cares?
Do you think we really care what you think? No, of course not.. at best it’s to clarify for other like-minded folk that we’re not a bunch of ass holes as you claim advocating for the theft of elderly folks retirement money.
Clarify all you want. The only people convinced by your arguments are as dumb as a box of rocks. You’re welcome to have all the morons join your “movement.” Everybody else can see clear as day that Ian didn’t give a shit about elderly scams if it helped his business turn a profit.
Speaking of morons, the two chucklefucks mentioned here are really something. You have the retarded one that can’t keep his mouth shut, and the simpleton that doesn’t know what income is. lol
Yeah trying to debate with you trolls is kinda pointless, eh Karl? He should just say “oh you and your imagination” like I do. Works like a charm. Of course Silvia talking about your guy Biden and other left-wing lunacy works too.
Whatever gets you through the day, Intrigare. I don’t mind you saying that. It’s probably the closest Jacks and I are going to get to you acknowledging you’re wrong.
Silvia’s bait hasn’t been very effective lately. I think she’s brought up the Biden stuff too much. I’m a bit tired of the stupid Fox News arguments, to be honest.
Yeah. Me too, Karl. Me too. That’s why I’ve totally been watching “The Megyn Kelly Show” these days. Especially yesterday’s show when she totally gave the stink finger to DJT for over an hour. God that interview was so fun. My favorite part was when she called out the Trumpster for totally praising the Faucinator early on in the pandemic, even calling him a “television star” and a “good man” and going so far as promoting him in one of his campaign ads just before the November election and stuff. Oh, by the way, that was way before everyone found… Read more »
I’ll have to side with Megyn Kelly on this one my friend. Trump should have totally known better. At least as well as you or I knew. And he did know better if you look at his initial comments about the hoax. Then turned around and flip-flopped on it. Why did he do that?
I see what ya did there. Nice one, Karl. Nice one. God you’re good at this. Say, remember that time back when you were old Karl and stuff and you totally told us that the Faucinator was totally a hero of the science and stuff and totally didn’t fund gain-of-function research and stuff and then it turned out he was totally a filthy liar and totally did and stuff? Golly. Turns out we were all totally right about him and you were totally wrong. I wonder how that happened? Anyway, it’s never to late to say you’re sorry, Karl. Care… Read more »
Blimey. I totally thought you were Karl and stuff with that last post of yours, Intrigare. Sorry about that. I’ve gotten a bit feisty with all this shitposting from the libtard weirdos going on over the last few days, don’tcha know. 😉
As for the Trump flip-flop, Intrigare? Simple, really. Politicians do that kind of stuff all the time. They always operate under the condition that voters have short memories and’ve totally forgotten what they’ve really done.
Case in point. Remember when Joe Biden told everyone he was arrested in South Africa for protesting apartheid and stuff? Same ol’ same ol’, am I right?
Ya know, that old guy with the rubber boot on his head’s looking better and better to me these days, Intrigare. And not just cuz of the free pony, don’tcha know. 🙂
Oh Vermin Supreme? Same here, Silvia. Same here. And he even promised to go back in time and kill the Nazis and stuff. Which is almost more believable than some of the promises the mainstream candidates make, isn’t it?
There are usually some good guys running. You just have to look beyond the R and D and be willing to vote on principle instead of wasting your vote on the lesser of two evils.
Yeah. Promises shromises, I always say.
Anyway Intrigare, I totally wish I could go back in time. Not to kill Hitler or anything. of course. I don’t like to overthink things. Me? I’d probably just go back and buy some more bitcoin and maybe even try to talk Dave out of making YouTube videos and stuff. Especially that one of him petting a rat. So gross, am I right? 😉
You are a bore.
Why can’t you leave and not come back?
You were gone, and it was better.
So Dave, what was it exactly that did that rat in, anyway? I’m totally hoping it was natural causes, but I have this bad feeling it was from something way, way worse and stuff. 😉
You are garbage
I know, right?
Anyway, circling back to the rat. What’s the story on that, Dave? Cuz me and my husband are totally worried it met its maker inside your butt and stuff. Come on, Dave. Set our minds at ease. You owe us that much. 😉
Yes, Republicans, like yourself, do always fixate on perverted things.
Why do Republicans, like yourself, always fixate on sick perversions?
Republicans support a RAPIST and fixate on sick sex stuff..
Smh
Yeah. Republicans sure do totally suck ass and stuff, huh Dave? 😉 Anyway, speaking of debauchery, I was farting around on “Libs of TikTok” last night as usual, and you’ll never guess what I found. Turns out there’s this barista who works at a Starbucks in Ballwin, Missouri who totally has a diaper fetish and stuff. But wait. There’s more. Apparently he thought it would totally be a good idea to record himself at work filling said diaper with whipped cream and ice. Why? I have no idea. But it’s super fucked up, and I’m glad LoTT exists to bless… Read more »
I didn’t say that they “suck”.
I said, as you could see if you look, that Republicans fixate on sick sexual perversions,the same way that *you* just did!
See? :
You brought up sick sexual perversions. When the subject was checkers.
Just as Republicans do quite often.
It’s a hallmark.
Why do Republicans, like yourself,do that??
Are Republicans sickos?
A hallmark, huh Dave? Wow. I didn’t know that. Thanks for the heads up. So guess what? Canada’s back in the news. In case ya didn’t know, I’ve been reading up a lot on Canada these days on account that I’m trying to warm up Karl to the idea of moving there and stuff. Anyway, didja know that Canadians are suffering from skyrocketing food costs just like Americans are? It’s true, Dave. And just like Americans, Canadians are led by incompetent libtard weirdos who’re blaming everything and everyone except the policies they created and the people who executed them. Luckily… Read more »
It’s not a”heads up” you dumb ass.
It’s info so that you modify.
But … We Know why they called you .. That nickname..
It’s not? Are you sure about that, Dave? Cuz it totally looked like it was from where I’m sitting. Oh well. Qué será, será. That’s what I always say, anyway. Anycrap, it looks like country music sensation Maren Morris is quitting country music cuz apparently the whole genre is much too predicated upon the notion of “owing the libs” and stuff. Boy, she sounds nice, huh? But ya know what? I really don’t care. It’s not that I don’t listen to country music sometimes. Cuz I do. Mostly only to Parker McCollum these days, though. And sometimes “The Dixie Chicks”… Read more »

Of course none of this is a surprise for anyone who’s read Atlas Shrugged. It’s like straight out of that book and stuff. Being able to make accurate predictions is a pretty good indicator that Rand knew what she was talking about. You know, like we did with covid calling it BS early on when everyone else was saying we were all about to die and stuff. Remember that? Ha even the… Read more »
We are the crazy ones, Intrigare. Crazy like a fox, don’tcha know. 🙂
Most people don’t look at pets and conjure sexual activities.
But you just did!
Why!?
Is that why they call you”Silvia rotten crotch Desitter”???
I keep asking because you aren’t answering.
Well if you equate pets with sexual activity most people *do* think that’s crazy!
So that rat was a pet, huh Dave? Thank God! Now we can totally rest easy knowing it died the way God meant it to, and not as some kind of sex prop on OnlyFans or whatever it is you do and stuff. Speaking of sex props, Senate Majority Leader Chuck “Uncle Chucky” Schumer just changed the dress code so that Senators can vote on important issues of the day wearing even a gimp suit if they so desired. Well, maybe not a gimp suit. But a bath robe definitely. I’m assuming this change was made to accommodate Senator John… Read more »
That must be why they call you rotten crotch.
It all makes sense now.
Lol
Why do you have to be so disgusting?
NO ONE BUT YOU IS TALKING ABOUT SICK WARPED SEXUAL THINGS IN THIS FORUM!!!
IF SILVIA “ROTTEN CROTCH” DESITTER WANTS TO INSERT HER SICK PERVERSIONS, INVOLVING HER PETS, ANYWHERE! GO TO THOSE WARPED SECTIONS OF THE”DARK WEB”!
THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR THAT!!!!
Again : this forum was better when you were GONE!
I hope the cops are watching this page.
And seek Silvia Desitter out for the crimes, against innocent animals, that she is advocating!
Silvia Desitter, do you see how randomly bringing up your perverted sexual proclivities would make normal discussion impossible?
I guess you don’t see that because you do it .
Just stop it or go away!
Uh huh. A truly teachable moment to be sure, Dave. 😉 Speaking of which, a new Gallup poll says that 69% (hehe) of Americans feel athletes should only play on teams that match their birth gender and stuff. Which is pretty fucked up cuz this probably means the other 31% totally want chicks with dicks exposing their wieners to our daughters and stuff. Boy. Those guys’re totally on the wrong side of history, aren’t they Dave? And I say that cuz this totally comes after the entire Democrat party voted against protecting girls’ sports and stuff. Which I guess makes… Read more »
Why do you emulate rotten crotch, and .. Someone who’s left long ago: Drak Vermell..?
Is your personality that weak?
That must be why you got that nickname “sylvia ‘rotten crotch’ desitter”
Because you are constantly obsessed with sexual perversions
Someone’s obsessed, that’s for sure.
Wrong about what, Karl? Ian’s fraudulent bitcoin business on the dark web? You mean that isn’t just Jacks’ overactive imagination again? Please explain.
There was no evidence to believe Ian did anything on the dark web. This is basically just another shill who hates Ian because he’s a scourge on other peoples labor. He’s lower than a thief, as at least the common thief does the dirty work himself. These folks demand the government do it for them.
“This is basically just another shill who hates Ian because he’s a scourge on other peoples labor.”
Hey, you said it, not me. lol
It will be interesting to hear the outcome when Frank’s case goes to trial. Federal judges don’t pussyfoot around like the local boys, and I don’t think they will let him hide behind his retardation like last time. I foresee a lot of time spent in a cell in contempt in his future. lol

Oh I didn’t know lefties used words like “retardation” Karl. Interesting. Are you sure you’re not a Republican in disguise? 😉
Those cops are the most professional officers I’ve seen in quite a while. Kudos to them!
Yeah they gave them a chance to leave before throwing them in a cage and stuff. What nice young men they are.
“DHS”. A “Bush Cheney” Nazi Department that was ‘created’ to TAKE AWAY U.S. citizens Civil Rights’ !! Because, BUSH/ Cheney “”ALLOWED ”’ 9/11 to happen. ‘Find out WHERE’ these DHS goons live, then ‘video them in front of their houses, on PUBLIC PROPERTY ! What ‘goes around’, comes around.
You guys are so boring.
You act like you’re working out the world’s problems and how things should be run and references to Hitler and etc etc.
All the world’s problems are going to be sorted out by the dimwits on freekeene.
I am sorry if I sound harsh but I know there’s no excuse.
But what it boils down to is you guys are so full of yourself and you’re wrong!
Big headed ego people on wheels, that are completely wrong.
You’re like the Trump voter.
Correction : it’s no wonder you’re like the Trump voter! you *are the Trump voter in most cases in this room.
And half the time you don’t want to admit it, because it’s so stupid.
And that’s right you shouldn’t want to admit it because it *is stupid and you should be ashamed of it, but you should *own it and admit you are wrong and apologize to the country
Libertarians are not fans of Trump. I certainly didn’t vote for the guy. You’re totally misinformed or you’re reading comprehension is pretty bad if you think we’re trying to change the world. We gave up on the world long ago which is why we’re in New Hampshire. We have no faith in the national politics or the national libertarian party. Heck, they’re not even libertarians. The Free State Project was the idea of moving actual libertarians to a state with a low population where we’d actually have some influence SOMEWHERE in the world eventually. It’s worked out quite well, though… Read more »
So, you are wrong. Newsflash : libertarians act like the left is worse than the right. Libertarians, *like the right and lots of them want to recruit the right as do the right want to recruit libertarians. Lots of libertarians voted for Trump. You act like you have all the info on libertarians, and you don’t know this?? Tons of libertarians change to being right wing.

Voting for a candidate isn’t the same thing as liking or supporting one. Libertarians don’t like trump. Libertarians come from the “left” and the “right” because you’re given two parties of which equally suck and are the same. I voted democrat for reasons of liberty for a long time, but it was more of a joke. Neither the republicans nor the democrats are good on liberty. The democrats may have been more supportive of gay rights, but they attacked gun rights. Vice versa for republicans. In reality this is more delusional and both are attacking our rights on all sides.… Read more »
“gun rights” and gay rights are not equal whatsoever.
You lump them together like they are equal when in no way are they.
You are making a “both sides” argument.
When they aren’t the same at all.
So you don’t know who the leader of the Republicans is in NH but also claim that I’m not in touch because of this Gerhardt man.
I think it’s Jason something. Jason Osborn
There’s no ifs ands or buts about it.. Republicans are infected with so-called libertarians and so-called libertarians are infected with Republicans. Not so with the left .they both constantly bash the left. Like the left is more statist than the right: that’s the biggest crock of horse shit in the world. That the Right think that the Left is more statist, just makes the right more hypocritical and more liars. That’s the *only* thing it does. And libertarians bash left like the right is something different *all the time* It just makes them liars. That’s all it does. That’s ALL… Read more »
Silvia is basically Lauren Boebert..
The cops ejected Boebert from a theater for being a stupid twat.
That would happen with Silvia also because
she’s that kind of stupid too
A relevant side note: in Trump’s trial in Georgia, a few of the defendants are trying to get their trials switched to Federal Court; one of the reasons for that is that no cameras are allowed in federal court. Trump, also, has suggested he might want to also : he doesn’t want the public to watch either.
One of them was *denied, so far: Mark Meadows.
They don’t want to be under the public gaze. So they want to go to the federal court.
As it is, so far, we will be able to watch the proceedings.
Just as another side note: Jason Osborn’s wife’s name is Sharon Osborn, just like Ozzy Osborn,
and I believe she had to keep him in check, like a small child, the same way Sharon did with Ozzy.
He’s the Republican minority or majority leader.. Whatever it is..
He went from free stater , to lead statist
It would be too bad if one of the conditions of Gerhard’s release was not to get arrested again.
