N. David Krouse’s Closing Speech in Nashua District Court

David K was recently in Nashua District Court for his arrest at the Nashua 420 rally during Liberty Forum. He explained to the court exactly why he did what he did that day.

Click for Audio of David’s Closing Speech and Verdict

Text of Speech:

I do not expect to be acquitted, so it is very important that I be allowed to explain the events and why they occurred on March 20th 2010. I am accused of what is essentially civil disobedience not for myself, but on behalf of another individual, so this explanation will have some personal beliefs that are philosophical in nature, please hear me out. This will take about 5 or so minutes.

Of course this trial is all about what I did on March 20 2010. But let me start with the following first;
Lewis Labatue was arrested for smoking pot, I believed the arrest was wrong, so knowing I could not stop it, attempted to delay it and to demonstrate the cruelty and violence behind the arrest. I did this by choosing to stand in front of the car that was to transport Mr. Labatue. I chose this form of civil disobedience in the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther Kings teachings. I did no violence, made no effort to harm anyone, but the means I chose achieved both ends. It did delay the law enforcers aggression, and the law enforcers over the top reaction to it was classic, and demonstrated the cruelty and violence that lay at the foundation of the war on people who use some drugs better, than 80 years of preaching prohibition era rethoric. In fact, only releasing the attack dog or pepper spraying my eyes would have demonstrated the basic inhumanity of the law enforcers aggression against peaceful people better.

It is a shame to put one man in a cage for a nonviolent so-called crime, that is, to separate him from society, it is tyranny when thousands are put in cages for nonviolent so-called crimes.

City Council Drinking Game Video

Here’s the video the people calling themselves “The City of Keene” don’t want you to see:

After reviewing their city council rules, city ordinances, and state laws; Dale Pregent seems to have made up the rules barring alcoholic beverage containers (not containing alcohol) in order to target free speech. When the Police Chief Ken Meola is unable to determine what is in the closed containers held by Ian Freeman and Sam Dodson, they were arrested for refusing to consent to search. The video clearly shows, Heika – who consented to the search – being told “your fine” as she remained in the meeting drinking from her bottle.

Let’s not forget they did all of this on live TV with the community watching. Plans are in the works for the next City Council Drinking game, Aug. 19th, 7pm. Mark your calendar, it’s going to be a special event.

Response to “Protestors Don’t Belong Near School”

Patrick McKenney’s letter to the editor titled, “Protesters don’t belong near school” expressed concerns about us twisting the facts when we “edit it to fit their message”, so lets correct a few inaccuracies with his account shall we? I’m not aware of any protesters, nor did I see any signs saying only “school sucks”, and there was only one “bullhorns” as you recount.

We were engaged in outreach to share our ideas. The signs say “Education Rocks, School Sucks Project.com”, “School Sucks Podcast”, and “School Sucks Project .com”. There you will find recorded audio discussions about public education, hosted by a former middle school teacher.

Patrick, you claim the “original issue” is the people performing outreach. Does that include the religious outreach that put a bible in my hand when I was leaving middle school? Should they be banned from your secure perimeter zone as well? The original issue is theft.

Over 50% of Keene’s property taxes go to fund a $90.7 million dollar budget for approximately 4,950 students, which totals over $18,300 per student per year, An outrageous amount for mediocre results.

The Nashua District Court has ordered their court security officers to seize your tobacco under the authority granted them by RSA 78:12-B.

You know, RSA 78:12-B. A law that was repealed more than twelve years ago. I wonder what other laws that were repealed in the last twelve years they are following?

pssssssssssst! nashua district court: the law you are looking for is here – you should pay attention…. laws do change from time to time.

Quadriplegic Repeatedly Arrested for Medical Marijuana; Faces Jail

Story here.

Oh, but Marijuana users don’t go to jail, right? Especially the sick ones.

This is the same exact thing that the law enforcement community wants to do to sick and disabled people here in New Hampshire. You know, part of “Protecting and Serving.”

All the hard work done to lobby the legislature to have common sense Marijuana policy would have easily passed if it were not for all the “Protecting and Serving” the police chiefs and Attorney General spew to the legislature.

Can’t we just leave people who are sick and disabled the hell alone?

Oh darn. I failed to answer the door for the Census.
