More Video of Nashua’s Thuggish Crackdown on Peaceful Pot Smokers

Thanks to Jason Talley at Fr33Agents:

Here’s Jason’s blog post about it:

Today I witnessed a 4:20 Celebration for the first time up close, although I have seen them many times on YouTube. Like many of the 4:20 celebrants, I am attending the 2010 Liberty Forum in Nashua, New Hampshire. Earlier today at 4:20 PM a lot of fans of freedom gathered at a park in Nashua, NH. Some of them smoked marijuana, a plant has been deemed “illegal” in the United States as part of a larger “War on Drugs.” Others just smoked cigarettes or enjoyed a beautiful afternoon in New Hampshire.

Audio: WKBK’s “Talkback” 2010-03-13

Radio TowerLiberty-minded people called “Talkback” on WKBK last week to discuss the crappy school tax vote, education, government violence, stealing homes, taxes, hemp, decriminalization, and driving while stoned. Also, a couple of local statists call in to complain about liberty-oriented callers. Anyone know who the final, whining statist male caller is? I know he has called before – does he work for the Sentinel? Retired bureaucrat, perhaps?

Grab the archive.

Please join us for our weekly chat and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 11a-12p in the Liberty Radio Network Chat room. If you’re online, you can listen to Talkback streamed live via the Liberty Radio Network and if you’re in the Keene area you can tune in to WKBK 1290 AM or 104.1 FM. The Talkback discussion thread is here on the Free Keene Forum.

Nashua 420 Leads to 3 Arrests

**Further video of these events will be posted in the coming days**
Three people, including one Keene activist, were arrested Saturday afternoon at a 420 rally.

The event, starting at 4:20 pm, was peaceful and drew a lot of local support for around 30 minutes. Locals even joined in the unusually large crowd of people gathered in downtown Nashua. Activists held signs and drew hundreds of honks of support from passers-by.

Suddenly, 30-40 minutes into the event, two plainclothes officers closed in on a 17 year old teenager and arrested him for possession of marijuana. The ensuing moments, which will be posted here and across the web in the form of many videos, included two more arrests, many more police cars, and an attack dog.

Both of the other arrests were for disorderly conduct. David Krouse sat down in front of a police car and was arrested. On the other hand, Catherine Bleish of the Liberty Restoration Project was arrested for allegedly not getting out of the road when she was ordered to. Despite that police were on both sides of the road with a lot of confusion going on.

– The young man arrested first was released to his family from Nashua PD
– David was released from the Nashua Police Dept with an April 1 arraignment.
– Catherine reportedly was not giving her fingerprints, which caused the police to threaten to keep her in jail, but as of 8:45 ET was reportedly set to be released, but any court dates are of now unknown.
