Sidewalk Chalk is not a Crime

Last night a group of peace-loving activists decided to spread their message using sidewalk chalk, a medium constantly used on the sidewalks of downtown Keene, and which can be removed by a light rainfall or lawn sprinkler. However, according to the always factual Keene Sentinel, when used to apply pro-peace messages to pro-violence monuments, this once harmless and not even semi permanent art form takes on the properties of vandalism.

When Bureaucrats Attack

The now infamous camera ban in the 2nd floor lobby of the Keene city hall has expanded again. OTN camera crews are attacked by Keene District Court Security with a metal door.

All this happens right in front of a Keene policewoman who refuses to even take a report, much less arrest the out of control court employee. Plans for a massive camera civil disobedience event are in the works. How much longer can this behavior go on, and how do you feel knowing you pay them to treat you this way?

Sam Dodson Gets 6 Days in Jail

This story starts way back when Sam had been previously held captive by the Keene thugs in blue. While being held in jail for holding a camera in a public area, Sam’s license had apparently been suspended. Although Eli Rivera lied on the witness stand and said he had given the ‘defense’ all the information they had on Sam, there was nothing in the files Sam had received to make him aware that the Keene PD had knowledge of his license being suspended. So it was to his surprise when he was arrested for driving while under a suspension while leaving the very court room Rivera had just testified to the Keene PD not being aware of his suspension. During the trial for this “crime”, Sam noted multiple crimes being committed by the agents of the state (the judge, prosecutor, etc…); as well as, the judge made up several facts (like a name for Sam that he does not go by, and information about a license that has never been seen by anyone in the court except Sam). When he was found guilty, and ordered to pay $300, he refused. I assume it was on the grounds that he owes them nothing, and their justice system is too corrupt to determine crimes and punishments. As a result, he will be spending the next 6 days in the Cheshire County Corrections Facility.

Nashua 420 Peace Raid

Obscured Truth Network’s coverage of the mass arrests that took place at the Nashua 420 celebration over Liberty Forum Weekend.

During a peaceful 420 celebration in Nashua, a young local man was targeted for arrest by undercover police. This was followed by the arrests of two activists who fell victim to a gross overreaction on behalf of the Nashua Police. All three were released a few hours later, and arraignment dates have been posted on the Free Keene Forum. Curtis, who attended the Nashua 420 on Saturday, despite a recent back injury which had restricted him to a wheelchair, was arrested on Tuesday during another Nashua 420 celebration. He is currently still being held in jail. Check back to FreeKeene for updates on Curtis’ status.

Proof isn’t Enough for Bureaucrats

Recently, Ian Freeman met with Keene City Manager John MacLean to discuss the city’s policy on city government employees committing crimes on the job. However, instead of discussing the best way to deal with the inappropriate behavior of city employees who steal and hurt people, this meeting brings up a different problem in local government… lying. Apparently video proof isn’t enough to overrule the word of bureaucrats.

Free Stater Hunting Season is Open

Today I witnessed something that I found so shockingly callus, while at the same time unsurprising.

I went to Keene City Hall to file the asinine “required papers” to capture video of the ‘public trial’ Burke is holding for Sam this Friday. As I came into the 2nd floor lobby, the bailiff recognized me, and I gave him a friendly smile and a ‘Hello’. The bureaucrat behind the window began looking for some information I requested, I noticed a state trooper walking around in the area behind the counter. As he exited through the side door, and entered the hallway that leads into the courtroom, I could no longer see him; however, when he began to speak to the bailiff, I could hear him plainly:

“Hey, remember those Free Staters we got the other day? We just got him again!”

He exclaimed this in a tone of absolute joy, and then began laughing.

420 Participant gets hit by a car

During one of the many 420 events held in Keene Central Square this week, a skateboarder was the victim of a hit and run. Although the driver was aware she had hit the young man, she drove off without checking to see if her victim was ok. Keene Police, who were present to observe the peaceful demonstrators rejecting their authority, witnessed the accident from a sidewalk less than 10 feet away. Instead of offering assistance to the victim, or stopping the driver from fleeing the scene, they decided to waste more of the young man’s time and harass him for getting in the way of traffic.

*Note: I am unaware of the validity of the statement that the car had run a red light. I did see the accident, and the skateboarder was crossing the street in a less than safe manner; however, I don’t believe the police did the correct thing in reaction to this accident.
