In the sixth installment of Aqua Keene Parking Force, Fred Parsells opens up about his perspective on Keene’s local liberty activism scene. Denying his own statist tendencies, he even dubs himself the ‘original free stater’ after beginning the conversation with “…why you guys are so stupid?” See the exciting conclusion to the cliffhanger ending from Episode 5.
You’re not even from Keene, but now that you’ve moved to Keene…You’re from elsewhere. You’re not native-born. Well, I don’t know, but you’re not from Keene, that’s the point. But yet you’ve come here, and you’re trying to, to tell people in Keene, you know, we did away with meters back in the mid eighties. No, no, that was something, I’m talking in the mid eighties — you probably weren’t even alive then.

The last sentence of Fred’s quote omits your comment about them putting in Kiosks, therefore making it easy to take it out of context. You might want to edit it to make it more accurate.
Oh, please, Scott. Freakeeners edit in what they want you to hear/see. They know all too well when to edit.
Someone should check Fred’s claim for accuracy that “businesses demanded the meters be put back in” .
A survey of each local business would be interesting to find the truth.
Guest, that’s an excellent idea. Fred’s argument is plausible but having the businesses sound off would be interesting..
I don’t know if Garrett will do that though, since he said “. . . I don’t plan on being involved. . . ” when asked about a solution.
Frickin fred parsells: you can tell he use to be a cop(once a cop always a cop) he speaks to Garrett in a condescending way to evoke poor behavior… (a cop tactic) trying to goad Garrett into poor behavior.. Of course it back fires and Garret’s stellar behavior shines and ,again, provide a strong contrast to Fred’s egging on… I think Garrett sorta turned Fred from a condescending cop asshole into a fk gadfly…. thats my take anyway..lol
Hey, brainchild, Garrett was intentionally NOT saying his name, to conceal his identity. He’s pissed at you for giving him away. You’re so screwed.
im not a “brainchild” ..whatever that is
Aw, cute cartoons to get your point across. Very cute. South Park, very original. No one has ever tried that before. Absolutely brilliant. This should seal thew deal for Freakeeners. Fred will quit, the meters will be removed, and the population of Keene will tune into a barely audible signal from Ian’s house of drugs. Man, you guys are like winners and stuff.
He’s right about most of this. You need to be working and supporting yourself. And you really need to read about libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism because you don’t represent it well. You can’t make the most basic arguments. Spend some time in the library and job hunting. I don’t say that as an insult but it will really improve the effect you have on your town.
