Activist Arrested ; Officer Ignores His Pain

Activists are currently converging on Keene Police Department to check on the status of Kurt Hoffman. He was arrested today near Roxbury for failure to produce a vehicle registration, and he broadcast his ride from there live over Porc411. During the entire trip he is heard asking the officer to adjust his handcuffs so his wrists will stop hurting. The officer ignores repeated requests for such relief.

Also the smarmy Dartmouth statist calls and suggests I’m stupid, puts words in my mouth, then proceeds to appeal to tradition. I then call back to rebut and he calls again to lie to cover his tracks…busted, dude!
