At 2:20 in the morning on November 5th, 2016 Jarrod Ean-Dixon was shot four times
The Free State Project flag replaced the traditional Gadsden snake with a porcupine, a more peaceful creature – unless it’s provoked
in his abdomen, at close range.
The shooting occurred in Manchester NH as the result of an argument that started over a flag. Offended by the porcupine used on the Free State Project‘s flag, the gunman became aggressive both verbally and physically until ultimately he drew a gun and pulled the trigger four times.
Being an active member of the liberty community, Jarrod has earned the love and respect of many activists in and around Manchester, New Hampshire. His close friends have started collecting funds for his rising medical bills and day-to-day costs. Jarrod will be unable to work while he heals, and he is the father of three children.
In just 5 hours, the community has raised nearly $2,000, which includes over $300 in bitcoin donations. Activists are also purchasing clothing and other items with the porcupine flag’s image on them, in order to raise funds and to show solidarity with Jarrod. We still have a long way to go in making Jarrod whole.

Shire Sharing is my favorite charity. It’s voluntary — People like you and me — NOT gun-funded government bureaucrats. The idea is simple: Raise money, buy bags of groceries, and deliver them to families who are less fortunate. Last year, they fed over 3,000 people! They even personalized each bag by household — because some have children, some are elderly and can’t cook anymore, and some have dietary needs like diabetes or vegetarianism. YOU can help Shire Sharing feed an entire family this Thanksgiving for just 35 bucks. They take bitcoin! (And of course credit cards too.) They have an all-volunteer staff, so 100% of your donation actually buys food. Compare that to 30% with government. Shire Sharing is Voluntaryism in action. Put your money where your heart is, and be the change you want to see. Learn more and donate today at ShireSharing.org
