In an anti-climactic conclusion, Nick Ryder’s disorderly conduct charges were reported as being dismissed in today’s Keene Sentinel court log. He was being charged for the violation after standing in the Keene District Court lobby on April 13th after a police officer told everyone to “clear out”. The lobby was not closed for business, and Ryder was not in the way, so he remained in the room and was issued a citation.
The ruling was reportedly made on September 4th, and Ryder never received notification of it.
On last week’s “Talkback” on WKBK, discussion centered around Fred Parsells’ suggestion to city council that they support medical cannabis and decriminalization. Also discussed were shiftless, troublemaking teenagers. The smarmy Dartmouth guy calls to insinuate liberty activists support abusing children in the workplace and calls activists immature, as he usually does.
Please join us for our weekly listening, chat, and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 9a-12p in the Free Keene Chat room.

To those who opposed it, please note there is nothing wrong with the city council working toward hurting people less often. If they must exist, that behavior seems totally appropriate to me.
The city council hires and fires the city attorney, clerk, and manager, from my understanding. The manager hires and fires the police chief. Seems clear to me that the council could hand down a do-not-enforce or at the least a lowest enforcement priority policy to the police chief (who seems like a reasonable guy from my recent breakfast with him). That would actually accomplish significant decriminalization in a fairly short order (as opposed to Fred Parsells’ suggestion of a “substantial” fine, which would continue to harm peaceful people) resulting in many Keeniacs no longer having to be afraid of being caged for enjoying recreational or medicinal cannabis consumption.
I support steps in the right direction, but there’s no reason that this can’t be done in one step. Imagine the city council people saying this to the police chief: (more…)
WKBK’s Program Director and morning show host Dan Mitchell had me in as a guest for an hour this morning. We covered the Nobody campaign, public property, toplessness, illegal gardening, and took some phone calls. It was the first time Dan has ever officially had me on as a guest. I thought it went pretty well despite the detractors who called in – hopefully he’ll have me back sometime!
