School Board Arrests Libertarian Party Chair for Refusing to Sit in Segregated Section

Six months after arresting a grandmother and Sunday School teacher Kathleen Bossi for not wearing a mask at their meeting, the Timberlane School Board once again has arrested another peaceful parent. At this week’s meeting, Nolan Pelletier, who is also the chairman of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire, was arrested for “criminal trespass”. Why? For sitting with his wife in the main seating section instead of the segregated seating section for unmasked people. Here’s video, including some of what happened before and after his arrest:

Pelletier has been to every meeting this year and was witness to Bossi’s arrest in May. He and his wife Jessica have a child in the government school district and are not happy about the mask mandate being forced on the school kids. In an exclusive interview for Free Keene, Pelletier told me that at school board meetings, they even have a separate, segregated entrance for maskless people, who are then told they must sit in a segregated area of the auditorium.

The Pelletiers and some other freedom-loving parents refused to enter via the “separate but equal” doors and eventually were allowed in the front door, and then rather than sit at the “back of the bus” – as one woman referred to the segregated zone – the Pelletiers sat quietly in the main seating section, where no one was seated anywhere nearby.

Within moments of the start of the meeting, the chairman of the school board, Dr. Kimberly Farah, issued a threat to the audience, saying that anyone who in unmasked and not seated in the segregated section will be charged with “criminal trespass”, which is a misdemeanor that could carry up to one year in jail. After issuing the board’s threats, Farah said, “We sincerely hope to avoid taking the above actions during our board meetings, as we believe that such a decision would not serve the district.” Seconds later, board member Sheila Lowes requested the meeting be halted, “until people are complying with what we are stating”. Farah then “asks” that unmasked people move to the segregated area. Fifteen seconds later, she “asks” again, as no one had apparently moved.

Clearly she wasn’t just asking, as nine seconds later, she says to the mask-free people that she is going to order them to leave the premises, and tells the police present that she wants their assistance removing unmasked people as she “considers those to be in criminal trespass”. The two police make a beeline for the Pelletiers, focusing on Nolan. The masked, armed men continue to use terms like “asking” and “guidelines”, though obviously these are not simply kind requests. One officer attempts to get Pelletier to claim he doesn’t want to follow the “guidelines” before turning back to Farah and asking if she wants Pelletier criminally trespassed. She affirms and moments later the officers tell him if he doesn’t leave on his own, he’ll be charged with resisting arrest in addition to criminal trespass. Beating a resisting arrest charge is quite difficult, so Pelletier understandably complied with the threatening gang members.

Strangely, Pelletier told me the officers later claimed that he was never under arrest despite being handcuffed outside, put into a cruiser, and transported to the police station for booking before being released on “personal recognizance” bail. His arraignment is set for November 29th, 8am at Salem District Court.

Also, none of the other maskless people in the main seating area were charged, including Jessica Pelletier, who was seated right next to Nolan and left sitting there by police when they removed him. Others in the segregated section spoke out, including a man who told the school board they are slimeballs who belong in Massachusetts. He promised they would be publicly shamed and told them that they are disgusting. I hope he is right. People like these scum need to be shamed so much they quit their jobs and move out of New Hampshire. Eventually the government schools need to be ended entirely, but for now the best choice for freedom-loving parents is to get their kids out of the government schools, as soon as possible.

Only one arrested? Do you honestly think you were going to picket the governor’s house without consequences? There is only about 5-6 of you. It doesn’t look like there weren’t too many of you interested in this protest. The numbers are dwindling. The police were not the ridiculous ones, it was the activists who were more than likely freekeeners. If you think you freekeeners are peaceful, then you truly are ignorant. I always get a laugh when you people call yourself the “press” It never works in your favor. Besides, most of you, and I doubt any of you in… Read more »

If the Governor is going to “legislate” by executive order, he ipso facto becomes the legislative body. Thus airing grievances at “the State House” (his house) seems in keeping with the NH Constitution. [Art.] 32. [Rights of Assembly, Instruction, and Petition.] The People have a right, in an orderly and peaceable manner, to assemble and consult upon the common good, give instructions to their Representatives, and to request of the legislative body, by way of petition or remonstrance, redress of the wrongs done them, and of the grievances they suffer. June 2, 1784 Sort of looks like a triple play… Read more »

Jacks is a medical center director working on his PhD, and hence we are not qualified to debate him.

Well geez. “Integrity, morals, professionalism, ethics and a job,” huh Jacks? Well it is true that many of them still do have their jobs. Not sure why, tbh. It’s not like liars are hard to come by in this business. And don’t get me started on that Brian Williams guy. Remember that asshole, munchkin?

@Jumping Jacks “Do you honestly think you were going to picket the governor’s house without consequences?” Supposedly they could, Jacks, n the “land of the free,” the “live free or die” state with a constitutionally-limited government. That’s the point. And the police are already dealing with major PR problems what with the BLM movement and calls to defund the police. The more articles and videos like this that come out, the more aware the public becomes and harder it is for thr police to continue behaving this way. And yes the freedom of press applies to everyone, even bloggers. You… Read more »

“Only one arrested? Do you honestly think you were going to picket the governor’s house without consequences? There is only about 5-6 of you.” Umm 15, but 5-6? Close enough. I mean lets just disregard accuracy and the fact hundreds have been at other individual protests in prior weeks, and that this has been going on for a while now. It’s not like you’ve ever tried to keep up activism week after week month after month. Unlike cops activists don’t typically profit financially from their efforts. Profit is a huge motivator. “It doesn’t look like there weren’t too many of… Read more »

@joe “I mean lets just disregard accuracy…”

Joe, I see you’ve met Jumping Jacks. Have you heard about the time he claimed to spend thousands per year for his Physician Desk Reference, only to have it pointed out to him in this forum that the PDR has been free for years? He really is a riot sometimes. But he can grow on ya over time 😉

As irrelevant as he may claim freekeene to be, he shows us that its at least relevant enough to have its share of loyal resident trolls like him.

joe

@intrigare Jacks is how you know Free Keene is having an impact. The trolls come with success!

You all know the stupid word games you play to incite the police. They were professional and disciplined in dealing with a bunch of children. Jesus, your behavior as well as your infantile ideology is the equivalent of “Nuh, Uh!”, “Yeah, huh!” over and over again.

So pathetic!

The video is a revealing look at how blatantly police will violate any kind of supposedly constitutional protections. There’s no penalty for them or the town selectmen for the illegal ordinance and enforcement. No one gets fired if they lose in court or have to pay any sort of price for their violations.
