Five People Didn’t Stand for the Robed Man at Talley’s Trial Today!
I didn’t really appreciate Brad’s recent blog headline ordering the public to stand at Talley’s trial this morning. First, the court never made such an order – apparently, Brad was making the order on his own.
Despite Brad’s order, at least five people stayed seated this morning in Cheshire “superior” court. No one should stand for men in robes who harm others. Big thanks to the heroes who stayed seated in a court where robed men have kidnapped people for not standing as well as having uniformed men threaten those who remain seated.
All Charges Dismissed Against Jason Talley
Filed under: Court, Issues, National, New Hampshire, News, Politics, Update
Case dismissed without prejudice, over the objection of the State.
Thank you to Assistant County Attorney John Webb and New Hampshire Associate Attorney General Richard Head for being both cordial and helpful adversaries in the legal process. Judge Barry was extremely professional as well, so I thank him also.
Congratulations to Jason Talley and thanks to all the anonymous lawyers who took time to comment, call, and offer advice!
State v. Jason Talley is Tomorrow at 9:00AM – You’re Ordered To Stand
Filed under: Corruption, Court, Hypocrisy, Issues, National, New Hampshire, News, Personal Freedom, Politics, Question, Update
The Cheshire County Superior Court has unequivocally asserted that it is completely within the Court’s prerogative to order violence to force you to stand in the courtroom when instructed. In the past this Court has even done such ridiculous things as ordering law enforcement officers to lift people up by their elbows and ordering people’s arrest for not standing… only to release them five minutes later and wish them a “Merry Christmas.”
This stuff is happening in the United States of America. Really.
As an officer of the Court, I must ask you to comply with the Court’s order and stand under your own power when attending Jason’s trial tomorrow. If you don’t stand, you may be physically lifted or imprisoned.
If you’re unable to stand or are injured, you may just have to explain yourself further.
Remember:
Jason Talley filed a “Motion To Refrain From Authorizing Physical Force To Demand Respect.”
The State objected and supported the notion of continued violence to make people stand.
The Court sided with the State in an stamped order.
Jason filed a “Motion To Reconsider” his original motion asking the Court not to use violence against the public.
The Court denied the “Motion To Reconsider.“
Fed Judge to Orlando: Chalking is a Right

After a cost of eighteen days in a cage and a few months of legal threats, there is good news to report on chalking freedom out of Orlando, Florida. The ABA Journal published yesterday that Timothy Osmar, who was twice arrested for chalking at the Orlando city hall plaza, had his rights violated when he was legally kidnapped over protected political speech. US district magistrate David Baker’s ruling deemed the arrest for violation of a city ordinance to be an overreach of a code designed to prevent unauthorized commercial advertising. Unlike NH, Florida’s towns and cities are endowed with the power to write words powerful enough to invoke arrest for their violation.
Prior to the decision Friday, Orlando officials indicated that they would be appealing an “adverse ruling”. The city would find it difficult to play a purer than thou antichalk attitude in this case. Orlando mayor Buddy Dyer encouraged downtown businesses to chalk their sidewalks in support of the home team Magic when they were in the NBA playoffs in 2009. The city also permits a yearly chalk art festival held by the local Rotary Club. David Baker told Orlando bureaucrats, “The city may not selectively interpret and enforce the ordinance based on its own desire to further the causes of particular favored speakers.”
Mayor Dyer did not seem thoroughly interested in the deeper constitutional and moral issues regarding chalking arrests. His comment, while charges were pending was, “This was a guy who wanted to be arrested, by all accounts, and has been… This guy was given every opportunity not to go to jail, but he chose to go to jail.” Read more
Court Record of Dropped Charge in State v. Jason Talley
Filed under: Corruption, Court, Issues, National, New Hampshire, News, Update
Jason now faces only criminal charges for possession of a camera in a public area of a public building.
Even the Cheshire County Superior Court has abolished that rule, yet Jason Talley remains charged with “disorderly conduct” and “resisting arrest.”
NH House Redress of Grievances Committee Needs Your Support!
Filed under: Corruption, Court, Issues, National, New Hampshire, News, Personal Freedom, Politics, Thuggery, Update
New Hampshire State Representative Kevin Avard (R) (Hills-20) is doing amazing work on giving voice to people who have suffered abuses by the NH Judicial Branch in his new show “Speak Up New Hampshire.”
I was honored when Rep. Avard asked me to be his second guest to speak of the abuses suffered by Ademo Freeman and Jason Talley of Keene by the hands of the judiciary. That interview now has over 1,000 views.
Rep. Avard is shining a much needed spotlight on a branch of government that operates almost completely unaccountable to anyone.
He also needs your help.
Rep. Avard is asking that all people who support accountability in the New Hampshire Judicial Branch come to a press conference he is holding at the Legislative Office Building (LOB) in Concord next week in support of House Speaker William L. O’Brien’s continued support of the Redress of Grievances Committee.
I’d argue that whether your individual political ideology makes you a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Voluntaryist, Anarchist, Communist, or simply someone who doesn’t care about politics at all, you should agree that criminal public officials need to be held accountable by someone.

Bad Policy, Good People, Real Tragedy
Filed under: Issues, National, New Hampshire, News, Police, Politics
I know and respect two of the officers who were shot in the violent drug warrant service last night.
Deceased Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney was a very nice person who was always very kind to me when I interacted with him. When Chief Maloney was the police chief in North Hampton, NH and I was a brand new officer, the Chief took time to help me with prosecution of my cases in the Hampton District Court. He didn’t have to, he was just a good guy.
Seriously injured Newmarket and Attorney General’s Drug Task Force Officer Scott Kukesh is quite simply an outstanding human being. I guarantee you that if any of you met him (and didn’t know what he did for work) that you’d like him for sure.
Although I disagree with the violation of the NAP that comes from the enforcement of victimless-crime drug policy, I just wanted to take an opportunity to remind people in the liberty community that although people in law enforcement frequently enforce public policy that we disagree with, it doesn’t make them bad people.
No one, including the people being investigated, needed to die. Violence is not the solution to the drug abuse/addiction problem faced by society.
How many more cops need to die to end the war on drugs?
Five cops shot, one killed on a drug raid on the Seacoast. If drugs were legal or decriminalized, these cops would have never been harmed in this way.
End the insane war on drugs and save the lives of cops so they can investigate real crimes that have victims, instead of people trying to get high.
