The video below shows Ian being ordered arrested by Mr. Burke within a minute of walking into the room and within seconds of Ian opening his mouth to speak. Free speech, be damned. Then Ian is led into another room where nothing can be filmed or audio recorded. Public trial by one’s peers be damned. Then Ian is sentenced to 90 days for one of the most vague and sweeping of charges– contempt of court. Just punishment be damned. He got 3 days for the charge that he was there to answer for, a code violation for failing to force his tenants to remove their couch from their yard.

The setting is a bustling town– not quite a city, but endowed with the pleasures that one could usually find in a metropolis. It has its ups, its downs, but overall, everyone seems to be at least just a bit content with the general atmosphere.
Enter the bandits– violent and vicious sonsabitches, who have at their disposal a corrupt and conniving government pocketed, whether it be by a cut of the profits they get in their vile activities or simply out of fear for them. They roam about, wrecking homesteads, threatening violence, destroying property, getting their rocks off by toying with people who are otherwise incapable of defending themselves for fear of even harsher retribution. The townspeople are entirely capable of ridding themselves of this scourge, yet they still fear what may happen should they voice their sentiments, or -heaven forbid- act upon them.
Cue our hero, a regular kinda gentleman rancher who in standing up for himself and his homestead, is instead driven to the brink and cornered by these bandits. The corrupt and crony lawmen and magistrate back them all the way, or at least don’t do anything to help. Knowing full well the deck is stacked against him, he still makes his stand, because by golly and god as his witness, these men are in the wrong.

**preliminary report**
Active FreeKeene blogger Ian Freeman today helped the Keene District Court prove that it is ready to crack down on non-violent peaceful people today. At least 6 officers of various rank were present in court to try and outnumber the liberty activists. Judge Burke was obviously ready to order Ian’s arrest, and did so less than 45 seconds after entering the courtroom. Ian was then taken to a second room where his supporters could not go with him. He was viewed on closed circuit TV as he continued to question the system and not consent, and drew two further contempt of court charges, all three for 30 days in jail.

This Veteran’s Day, like all others, you and I will hear that statement repeated countless times to the so called “men and women in service to our country.” They are credited with “keeping our country free” and securing America from people who hate our way of life. But while security is important to a free society, the military that was established to defend the Constitution is currently undermining the bounds intended by the founding fathers by occupying over 150 countries with a US military presence.
There is no doubt that there are people in the world disgusted by American people, but I’ll leave it up to you to decide if they hate us for McDonalds and freedom, or for a government that can’t stay out of foreigner’s lives. Despite the foreign and domestic threats to personal freedom, who is really responsible for the privileged life most of us are lucky to live here? (more…)
