As you may be aware, NH native liberty lover, Ladies in Keene co-host, and Free Keene blogger Kate Ager was arrested for standing on some chalk and not moving off of it fast enough upon Manchester police’s request (see her video here). Here’s the trial where another obedient jury found her guilty of “resisting arrest”:

UPDATE: Mon. May 14th 5:20PM

Kate was found guilty of “resisting” by a Manchester Superior Court jury today. Her previous “sentence” from district court was 90-days suspended for two-years. Her new “sentence” is 30-days suspended for 30-days.

It’s good that the threat hanging over her head is now lessened and that outreach was done and ideas shared but bad that Kate had to even allocate any of her time to such a situation.

On June 4th, 2011 eight ‘shire-based activists were arrested while at a pro-police accountable rally outside the Manchester, NH PD (603-668-8711). The incident became known as the Chalking 8. One of the eight arrested was Kate Ager.

Kate had been heading to Manchester to visit a friend. On the way, she learned that her friend had been arrested outside the Manchester Police Department so that’s where she headed. She parked and as she approached, saw a number friends holding signs as well as a number of Manchester PD employees nearby.

Eighty-seconds after stepping onto the sidewalk she was asked by Manchester police employee John Patti to “get off the chalk.” Ten seconds after that, when attempting to ask a question about the order, she was given her “last chance.” Ten seconds after that Patti told Kate that she was “under arrest” as he and colleagues swarmed Kate, handcuffed her, and put her in a cell.

Surprise, surprise – the New Hampshire Attorney Genital’s final report on the officer involved homicide of Julio Angel DeJesus concludes that

KPD members James Lamoureux and Eli Rivera were justified in their use of deadly force on the night of April 17th.

The incident began at Diversified Computers on West Street in Keene, where police responded to an attempted burglary involving DeJesus and two other individuals. When police arrived, DeJesus took off in his vehicle, and Lamoureux took off in pursuit. According to the report:

The pursuit continued through the city. During the pursuit Mr. DeJesus’s stolen Mercedes ran through stop signs and red lights, failed to turn on its headlights, exceeded speeds of 80 mph in 30 mph zones, and nearly collided with a number of on-coming vehicles.

My Affidavit To The NH Senate

Here is the sworn statement I’ve submitted to the New Hampshire Senate Judiciary Committee about what I believe is blatant abuse of Part II, Article 73-a by select judges in the New Hampshire Judicial Branch.

To those of you reading this in law enforcement: The complaint for False Reports to Law Enforcement only has to allege knowingly, but you could even prove purposefully. The Judge stopped, turned around, and stated unequivocally “that’s a criminal offense.“ He made darn sure the bailiffs arrested Ademo.

Could he have felt threatened? Sure. Was it a criminal offense? Absolutely not.

Would someone please arrest Judge Burke already?

To Fred and Josh in “Code Enforcement”, please stop picking on my neighbors.

Fred Parsells and I go way back. I like the guy personally – we’ve dined together a number of times over the years and had pleasant conversations. However, last year he left his job at the “Keene Housing Authority” and took on the role of city “Code Enforcer”. A former detective with the Keene police, (and I believe collecting a police pension) Fred has decided to make my property one of his pet projects and has begun a campaign of harassing me, my tenants, and most recently, my new neighbors next door. (Curiously, prior to Fred being hired, I hadn’t heard from code enforcement in five years. So, clearly there weren’t any glaring issues at the time upsetting anyone. The one time I did hear from code enforcement prior to the five years was due to the complaint from a city employee.)

I recently came home to discover Fred and his partner Josh, parked out front of my house, standing at my new neighbors’ door. They were just leaving and I inquired of Pete, who was there recording, as to what was going on. I was informed that they were threatening the neighbor over the car in their side yard. I informed Fred and Josh that I have no problem with their car being there and that I don’t appreciate them picking on my neighbors. Josh told me to stop eavesdropping, as though when strange men come threatening my neighbors that it’s not my business. I don’t know where Josh lives, but I want to live in a place where neighbors care that their neighbors are being threatened by aggressors.

Afterward, I spoke with the lady next door and assured her that I had not called code enforcement on them and nor would I. If I have an issue with a neighbor, I’ll do like a good neighbor should, and drop by to talk. She informed me that Fred claimed he’d gotten a complaint from another neighbor regarding their car in the yard, because the other neighbor had experienced code enforcers threatening them over the same issue.

During my involvement with representing Jason Talley, I was fortunate to have been anonymously contacted by several people whom were well versed in the law. These people were invaluable to helping me help Jason escape imprisonment on what he believed to be corrupt court orders.

I recently heard from a law enforcement officer about an awesome judge in Carroll County who calls the jail on the weekends on her own accord simply because she wants to make sure defendants do not get held just because the court is closed. She legally doesn’t have to do that. I think she probably does it because she is a good person who uses her authority to protect individual liberty. I’ve never met this judge, but she sounds awesome.
