Keene’s enforcement agents claimed a “permit” was needed and that anyone who remained would be charged with disorderly conduct and trespassing.

Liberty activists have turned out in support of a bar owner whose customers are being targeted by the Weare police. Here’s the story from Weare News’ Dan O’Brien:

About 40 people gathered at Palmer’s Tavern on Saturday, July 10, to show support for George Hodgdon, the 60-year-old bar owner who was arrested July 1 for allegedly misleading a police investigation of a bar fight.

Police said the victim of the April 30 assault was Deering Selectman John Greene, 31.

Greene’s reaction to the event: “People are going to say all kinds of things now to get out of trouble.” A large segment of the Hodgdon supporters were members of the Free State Project.

They parked a camper in front of the Route 114 bar with an electronic road sign attached. The sign displayed phrases including, “Weare The Public,” “Live Free Or Die” and “Don’t Tread On Me.” Read more

Radio Tower Liberty-minded people called “Talkback” on WKBK last week to discuss stealing property, agreements, providing unwanted services, arbitrary extractions, and a tax revolt. We also hear from an offended caller, who calls liberty activists a “gang” – actually she calls them *my* gang, as though I’m in charge. The smarmy dartmouth guy also makes an appearance.

Grab the archive.

Please join us for our weekly chat and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 11a-12p in the Liberty Radio Network Chat room. If you’re online, you can listen to Talkback streamed live via the Liberty Radio Network and if you’re in the Keene area you can tune in to WKBK 1290 AM or 104.1 FM. The Talkback discussion thread is here on the Free Keene Forum.

The Ridley Report was there to record history in the making as a heroic Manchester liberty activist named Travis sells cannabis openly in a public park, all the while in possession of an “open container”! Have the Keeniacs been out-disobedienced?

Free Stater embarrasses his own, by William Chaffee Jr.

Yesterday, this letter to the editor was published in the Keene Sentinel:

An open letter to Sam A. Miller.

I recently read the article in The Sentinel about how Cheshire County “tricked” you into leaving the place you so loved to hate called jail. You had a lovely run there. Three hots and a cot and all the cable TV you could handle. And at no cost to you; John Q. Taxpayer picked up the tab for your new orange threads and your lovely view of the beautiful area of Westmoreland.

No doubt you’re unemployed and are collecting one or more forms of benefits from the very government you denounce, so you really have no idea what it’s like to pay your taxes and see your tax dollars wasted on someone like you.

You refuse to sign a paper releasing you from jail, but then complain that you are being held unjustly and without cause. I am a fellow freedom lover myself, being a Republican, but you, sir, have embarrassed even your fellow Free Staters.

You pollute the downtown with your protests and makeshift signs made from construction paper and magic marker. I know you are longing to be guilty of something so I am going to pass down this judgment in hopes that the matter will be settled and you will stop bothering the good people of this town, county and state. You are guilty of stupidity, and the very thing you are guilty of is also your punishment … a life sentence.
