Think about it. You're in Court, facing a charge of "resisting arrest". Didn't you get arrested at some point prior to trial? Yes. So, arresting somebody, & then prosecuting them for "resisting" what happened, um, see where I'm trying to go with this? Isn't the fact that you're in Court, *PROOF* that at best, you can only be guilty of *ATTEMPTING* to resist arrest???…You were arrested, right? If you had **succeeded** in resisting arrest, you wouldn't have been arrested in the first place, right???…

Heroes… the protesters, not the cops.

You got that right, Seth. These little piglets aren't "heroes" at all. No, instead, they are ZEROES!!!…Zero common sense. Zero compassion. Zero respect for America's Freedom. Did you see "Mr Red Sox Narc" trying to talk on the radio he was holding in one hand, while attempting to arrest (?)Dave Krause(?)or whoever that was…with the other hand!???… UNPROFESSIONAL, and TACTICALLY STUPID. If this was something other than a bunch of non-violent pothead slackers, say, a gang fight, I'd expect serious injury and possibly even death resulting…The good people of Nausea, um, "Nashua" should be ashamed to have such incompetent LEOS!…

Actually some decent, non-biased coverage. Hopefully this will help wake a few more people up to the insanity of the drug war.

THEKINGOFKEENE, how is “Mr Red Sox Narc” talking on the radio tactically stupid? He persuamably was calling for backup, which they needed because David wasn't being compliant and prevented their leaving the sceene. Additionally, the protestors were saying David was peaceful and he didn't give any indications that he was a violent threat to them. Plus one of his hands was handcuffed and the cop had control of the other cuff. If this was a "gang fight" they would have likely drawn their guns, batons, and/or used hard-hand control on David to gain his compliance. To say that using the… Read more »

Are the 420 celebrations in Keene still going on? Any word of whether they have been copied in other places? I assume there will be a big event in Keene on April 20th? I'm likely going to be speaking at a Students for Liberty rally at UC Berkeley (California) on that date — the student group has a permit for Sproul Plaza, which is very visible, high-foot-traffic location that was the site of the famous Free Speech Movement protests in the '60s. I think it would be awesome if we could get some kind of live video feed between the… Read more »

Starchild, it occurred to me that 420 celebrations can become a history-making cause celebre with the right publicity. The "mainstream" news media certainly can't be relied upon, but the Internet can. Were videos to be posted under just the right headlines — hundreds of 'em! — on YouTube to draw in the most interested and influential people, if they can be made to see how effective a technique this is, it could take off nation-wide. I don't know just what buzz-words should go into such headlines to get heavy hits, but somebody must, and if that could be put into… Read more »

I'm planning on going down to the Hash-Bash the first Saturday of April in Ann Arbor, MI to hand out fliers promoting FSP, FK, and the 420 celebrations. There hasn't been too much open smoking in the past decade, but there might be an upswing now that medical prescriptions are more common.

Anyone in SE Michigan want to help?

BigMike

Iawai, I have friends in Mt. Clemens who are going to the Hash Bash. You can send me your contact info on the forum and I'll put you in touch with them. One of them has been promoting the FSP already and will be moving here this summer.

Sorry I took so long to reply, *ASS.AW.YER*…Thanks for your question! First, carefully re-read my post. OK? No, "talking on the radio" is not "tactically stupid". *BUT* – talking on a hand-held radio with one hand, while attempting to arrest a guy with the other, in such a mellow, non-violent, peaceful demonstration, well, that's TACTICAL FUCKING GROSS INCOMPETENCE! Sure beats "stupid", don't it, Mr. Sawyer???…What's little piggie gonna let go of first? Drop his comm. link, or watch his detainee flee???…get serious injury because he had a handful of cellphone, when that wild swinging kick connected with his face, but,… Read more »

The arrest looks so staged and planted. Anyone check behind this guy? He may work for the POH-leese. They achieved their goal if it was to upset the crowd. Cops: so sneaky, can't trust 'em ever.
