Footloose on Trial for “Picketing”, “Disorderly Conduct” @ NH Governor’s House

Footloose Arrested at Sununu's House

Footloose Arrested at Sununu’s House

Activist Frank “Footloose” Staples, the founder of Absolute Defiance, has been persecuted by the state gang for his peaceful actions near NH “governor” Chris Sununu’s house at 71 Hemlock Ct in Newfields roughly a year ago. Footloose led a series of protests in the park across the street from the Sununu home over unconstitutional executive orders like the statewide mask mandate and other restrictions on business.

Whenever the state gang can identify the leader of a protest, they are inevitably targeted for attack and now Footloose has been arrested and ticketed multiple times. First, he was ticketed for attempting to hold a peaceful candlelight vigil near Sununu’s house, along with eight other people, aka “The Newfields Nine”. The police called this a violation of the town’s “picketing” ordinance, which was written specifically to protect Sununu from that dreaded free speech.

Just over a month later, he was arrested for “disorderly conduct” at a Shire Choir caroling event near Sununu’s house. All he was doing in the incident was speaking. According to police, he spoke too loudly.

In November, he was put on trial for the “picketing” and “disorderly” charges. I was there to record the full trials. The robed woman in Brentwood district court took the cases “under advisement” and ruled nearly two months later. She found Footloose not guilty of “picketing”, but conveniently didn’t rule on the constitutionality of the ordinance. She found him guilty of “disorderly conduct”, a Class B misdemeanor. He plans to appeal, but the next step is sentencing on April 7th at 9am. Stay tuned here to Free Keene for the latest.

First up, the “disorderly conduct” trial:

Here’s the “picketing” trial: Note, we are still awaiting verdicts for the other “Newfields Nine” on their charges, so I’ll post those trials when the decisions are in.

The court has no authority outside of Washington DC. Territories. The Judge is federal employee the court house building is not owned by Congress. That is operating outside of Federal territory a crime.

He isnt bashful, or cowed or intimidated by the court at all, it seems.

Don’t you freekeeners have enough hobbies? You do this ridiculous picketing in front of the governor’s house and all you have ever accomplished is being arrested. You are wasting tax payers money for law enforcement to tell you to go home while protecting the governor’s house. Ian, what do you care about misdemeanor arrests? You are going to be on trial soon that is going to decide the fate of your life for man many years. Since it involves currency, I believe when you are convicted, you will go to a federal prison. The convicts are not going to be… Read more »

Maybe he can file a civil suit, now that he won.
Get some of that coerced cash back.
He could even give it back to the people, if he wanted, if he won.
Somehow.

Flatulenting the curve

What I’m wondering is how does Sununu’s inflated head fit into what appears to be a normal sized door at his house? The idea that one person can dictate lockdowns, force masks and decide who is “not essential” while continuing to construct State liquor outlets (cha-ching!!!!) during a fake pandemic makes me think he might have gotten a power boner from all of this “crisis”. Anyhow, that “no picketing ordinance” that Sununu’s brother one of the overlords of Newfields helped put thru is not constitutional and clearly is a sign that the Sununu family believes they have special powers that… Read more »

Live Free or Die

This is just more irrelevance, pettiness, and harassment by Felonious Freeman. Years ago, Felonious harassed Keene Meter Maids. Now, learning nothing, he harasses our fine Republican Governor who was elected in 2020 with over 65% of the vote. What an unproductive and selfish way to spend your time. The next stop for Felonious is Federal Prison. His first stop will be in Brooklyn, New York. This is good news for those of us in New Hampshire. In federal prison, Felonious will finally be taught how to shut his pie hole. Incidentally, David, police just get paid their regular hourly wage… Read more »

Live free or die, The harassment is from those people who don’t engage in actual peaceful free trade, instead they operate a forcible hierarchy. They close small business, lock people down without any due process and train barking seals like yourself to be their obedient mouth pieces., in between masticating their boot leather. Nom, nom, nom. Sununu became “the legislature” when he donned the “emergency dictator” mantle to do his part herding people into the new normal. People are alleged to have a right to address their grievances. That’s why just across from Sununu’s house was the logical place to… Read more »

Just a correction: Ian didnt do any robin hooding….

Im not defending Ian!

Im just correcting the perpetration of falsehoods from LFOD.

Ian could be accused of encouraging the robin hooding but he didnt participate in it.

So I’m just pointing out that you might not want to not put *too much stock in what :LFOD says…

Of course hes just a hider; just like everyone else. [“hider” = fake name fake words]

I believe people need to understand that this is the world we live in now. There isn’t anyone who is going to change anything right now until this covid virus is managed and/or eradicated.

Operating under the guise of peaceful protests in front of the governors mansion will do nothing but get you arrested, I can’t understand why you are beating a dead horse and in response, you get jail time.

There are so many other problems out there. You people pick the one that is going to be non-negotiable.

David Crawford

I KNOW!!!

“Operating under the guise of peaceful protests in front of the governors mansion will do nothing but get you arrested”

And sane people can see the problem with this

There is an update to this story. Five others who were ticketed were found not guilty. There will be another trial for a reporter who was also ticketed. I imagine that will also be another not guilty. Thanks to all the libertarians fighting the good fight we have had success after success in fighting these clowns.

One of the People

If we allow our “trustees and servants” in public office – elected, appointed, or hired – to assume powers we the people never delegated to them through our State or federation Constitution- If we allow them to use, to exercise powers beyond the law, beyond the Constitutions under the excuse of an “emergency”, then we will have one emergency after another. And we will be under an essentially permanent ‘state of emergency.’ We should all READ our State Constitutions. And the Constitution for the United States of America established by We the People. Supreme Court of the US – Norton… Read more »
