Oath Keeper Chris Rietmann Stands Guard Thursday Outside the Recruitment Center in Keene, NH
Less than a week after making national news via Ben Swann’s Truth in Media for helping nullify all gun restrictions as a selectman in Alstead, liberty activist Chris Rietmann then made the front page of the Sentinel on Monday. He was featured in the Sentinel article for heading up an effort by local Oath Keepers and other local gun owners to guard the military recruiting center in the aftermath of the recent attack on the recruiting center in Tennessee.
Rietmann, a supporter of the Free State Project and recent independent candidate for Sheriff, explained the purpose of the continuing guard mission was to bring attention to the insanity of gun-free zones, which includes military recruiting centers, schools, and military bases. Gun-free zones are places where law-abiding people are put in jeopardy and are unable to defend themselves against anyone with a mind to kill innocents.
Since the guard effort has continued all week, the Sentinel posted a follow-up piece on Wednesday, NECN filed this report, and other news coverage of Rietmann and crew’s efforts included the not-so-friendly Daily Beast.
After hearing the military had sent a memo to recruiting offices telling them to call the police on the armed guards, Rietmann and his crew changed tactics. I went down there today with a video camera to get the story straight from Rietmann:
I hope he wins on appeal. I don’t know what kind of time he is looking at. I’m talking realistically.
This imho is more bad news, on top of the pile.
I go to #BLM rallys, because i believe strongly, in free speech, which is what cantwell was doing also.
We are at polar opposite ends of that, but we both get to say it.
Unless that’s changing now
if the law was to chase down every threat made on the internet.
they’d need to get way more money and people.
It’s amazing how stupid people are. When you vote guilty in a case like this you are literally putting yourself at risk because something you said now being able to be taken out of context and utilized against you. This isn’t that hard to do given the amount of shit people type. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t a racist as what is said is taken out of context. Maybe it’ll be as search term for a book. But that will get translated into you being a racist. Christopher Cantwell is a racist, but that doesn’t change the fact his… Read more »
At least no one has to put up with Cantwell’s BS for a while. I hope he brings lots of knee pads and chapstick. So funny. Libertarians are the redheaded step children of the world. A drug addict with no law enforcement experience running for sheriff and a crying nazi getting life in prison for rape. Of course Ian will get a hold of the story and put his spin on it.
your name should be “mark Wolf lies”
You know there was no rape.
Well, this is not the strongest case that I have ever seen. But, it was the rat Cantwell who brought this on himself by calling the Keene Police and the FBI and also going after that Nazi loser in Missouri. And his behavior, such as posting that he had a gun at the Keene Cinema or posing with a Dylan Roof haircut and the word “Soon”, made everybody feel better with him locked up. He won’t do well in Federal Prison. And he may be heading to a Medium or Maximum Security Facility. His rat behavior towards fellow Nazis will… Read more »
David d – As usual, you are full of shit. You make everything up as you go. Did your mom give birth to you in a Walmart or were you just conceived there? You people continue to post these excerpts that mean nothing. It was made very clear. Cantwell threatened rape. He violated society’s guidelines. He was captured on social media threatening to rape someone’s wife. He is a danger to society. He is a nazi and intentionally broke the law. There are always consequences for a person’s actions. He knew what the consequences would be yet he chose to… Read more »
This is a joke article. Cantwell is a racist nazi who has a serious criminal record. Now he is convicted of trying to black mail another racist out of money and threatened to rape his wife. His convictions have nothing to do with free speech. He deserves what he got and what he will more than likely get when he goes to prison. A bunch of pissed off nazis who will make his life a living hell. The article says his bail was denied because he lacked computer skills. He ran a webshow and blog for a long time. He… Read more »
Everyone sees that you said it and everyone sees that you backtracked.
David d – Prove that I backtracked. That is a joke statement. Get a degree and work in the field of law so you can appreciate what’s going on. Leave it to freekeene radicals to think they are above everyone else. All they want is there five minutes of fame. What do you really hope to accomplish?
I do not agree with everything Cantwell says, but the case against him was a sham, and him being convicted is a travesty. Regardless of whether you like a person, or agree with a person, it is immoral to lock somebody up on false charges and/or for victimless crimes.
Remember that this could happen to you some day. First they came for Christopher Cantwell…..
Andy – How was his conviction a sham? All the evidence was there. He put himself where he is and hopefully will be for a very long time.
To Jumping Jacks: Care to read this statement again? “He was denied bail in large part because he is not computer illiterate”.
Cantwell never said he was going to rape anyone’s wife. He said he was going to f@#& his wife, due to this guy harassing him, but he NEVER used the word rape. Considering that he did not know where this guy lived, and considering that months went by and he took no action, this was in no way a credible threat.
Cantwell was set up, and has falsely prosecuted. You not likely some comments he has made over the years is not relevant.
You all interact with WAY too many Nazis, kinda funny form of libertarianism you got there!
