DRUG LAW PROTEST
Young Man to Possess Marijuana as a Protest Against Current Drug Laws
KEENE, NEW HAMPSHIRE – A young, 18 year old man will purposefully possess marijuana to incite his own arrest. At 1:00 PM on January 10, at 82 Main Street in Keene, New Hampshire, J. Andrew Carroll will illegally be in possession of marijuana as a protest against the drug laws of the country.

The City of Keene actually put dollar signs on their property tax bill this time around! Since they never answered any of my questions I included with my check last property tax time, this time I drew my own conclusions and invited their rebuttal. I stapled the check to the following document indicating on both the document and the check that their depositing of the check would constitute their agreement with my assertions. Now, obviously I understand that they are just going to use violence on me anyway as was recently proven in the “freedom couch” situation. I don’t believe these are magic words that will save me from their violence or anything, it’s just fun to give these bureaucrats something to think about. I think my next step will be to contact the state attorney genital, record the phone call, and ask some questions about the “consent of the governed”. So, in case you’re interested in what I wrote to the violent monopoly called government, here are the contents of my “NOTICE OF NONCONSENT AND AFFIDAVIT OF TRUTH” (.PDF): (more…)
My timing sucks but I’ve been wanting to make a comic for some time about the federal government’s reverse Midas touch as it applies to disaster relief in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I’m not sure when a good time will present itself so here it is.
