Statist Calls out Liberty Activists on WKBK’s “Talkback” – 1/24 & 1/31 Double Archive

by | Feb 2, 2009 | 5 comments

Radio TowerLiberty activists called WKBK’s Talkback the past two Saturdays and discussed education, development, the city prosecutor’s aggression against Freedom Fest organizer Mike Barskey, and public areas. Listen as host and city councilor Cynthia actually claims that local laws trump the constitution! Plus, this week’s featured statist caller claims all Free Staters are violent because one of them made a mistake in his past.

The statist also makes an observation that liberty-oriented callers to the show have dropped off, and he’s right. Over the past two weeks, only OTN’s Sam and I have called. The unfortunate fact is, the authoritarians are still the bulk of call load on this show. If you are awake on Saturday mornings, we could really use your help! Please join us in calling the program with a pro-liberty viewpoint. Get details on when and how and discuss with other activists on this Free Keene forum thread.

FreeKeene’s Jesse Arrested for Wearing Hat

by | Feb 2, 2009 | 25 comments

JesseFree Staters and Free Keene Bloggers went to Milford this morning for the arraignment of recently arrested Mike Barskey. Mike was mentioned in a posting earlier this week, but his arrest is unrelated to the Keene Freedom Festival, but is for non-appearance on another non-violent driving offense. While at the arraignment, it is reported that Jesse Maloney, best known for his Keene flag burning, and Charlie, a new Keene mover, were arrested for disorderly conduct.

Jesse was inside the courtroom when he was asked to remove a cap on his head. He refused to do so, and was arrested.

Meanwhile, Charlie, not in the courtroom yet, was asking court officials about the hat rule. The following is from FreeKeene’s Dale:

Apparently he was asking them about the hat rule, was not even walking into the courtroom, was simply asking about it, then someone said “that’s assault!” out of the blue, which he was never charged with btw, so it was obvious flakey. He was ordered to take his hat off, and didn’t immediately comply but instead merely asked what the law was about hats and whether it was an order or a request, and again I remind that he has as of yet made no motion at all to enter the courtroom where the “hat rule” applies. Suddenly Charlie is being thrown up against a wall and cuffed for disorderly conduct.

Jesse and Charlie have been released with a court date set for February 25th.
