- The New Hampshire Court System is closing again as they can’t afford their operations.
- A leader of a robbery ring based out of the Derry area is headed to jail:
“Springer told Judge Tina Nadeau that the plan — to bail Ricker’s then-boyfriend out of jail — turned out to be short lived. Instead, the group pawned stolen items and spent their proceeds on alcohol and drugs, Springer said.“ - A man in Dover is off to prison for having a naughty plant in his apartment.
- The drug war produced violence continues in Rochester as a masked man who was believed to be holding weapon busted into a pharmacy and demanded Oxycontin.
- A Gonic man is facing some serious time for treating his body as if it belonged to him by injecting some dangerous chemicals into it. Unfortunately he did this in front of some small children. If this sick man had an alternative place to go to get the drug fix that he needs, say one where the goal was to get him to use less drugs, I don’t think that he would have to commit crime to afford his habit and/or inject in front of children.
- The Rochester Police Commission wants a freedom crackdown on glass pipes being sold in their community.
“Commissioner Al Bemis said the DARE program explains the dangers of drug use, but when display cases are prominently positioned at the front of stores, it sends mixed messages.”
Actually, Al, the DARE program is a complete waste of time and money (so says the Government Accountability Office) and if anything is responsible for the so called “gateway” effect, it is.
Also— it encourages children to rat on their parents to the police. I’m quite sure Stalin and Hitler used a similar tactic.
