In October of 2021, nine peaceful people were arrested at a . It started when armed state goons approached activists Frank “Footloose” Staples and Terese Grinnell and requested they to follow them to a partitioned area in the back of the room. Once out of sight of the packed audience, the thugs arrested Footloose and Terese, causing them to verbally announce what was happening. Prior to being asked to walk out, the two were sitting in the audience quietly, so they are still unsure regarding why they were arrested in the first place, as they didn’t make any noise prior to the arrest. So far, the court process has yet to clarify the situation.
Seven other people were also arrested for speaking out during the arrests of Footloose and Terese. The “New Hampshire Nine” had a court hearing on Friday to deal with some pending motions and unlike the rest of the Nine, Footloose is representing himself in the case. If you’ve seen his other videos, you know that means it won’t be dull. Here’s a video with highlights from his visit, including he and other activists bravely refusing to stop recording when threatened by a masked court goon. You can see the .
It’s also worth noting that there is an unconstitutional “Supreme Court” of NH order in place prohibiting recording in all parts of state courthouses except the courtrooms themselves. Those restrictions were put in place because of Keene activists recording over a decade ago and haven’t been meaningfully challenged ever since. Kudos to New Hampshire native Footloose for standing up for the right to record and the right to transparency. It was nice to see him back down the armed goon AND he did it while on bail conditions for his previous ridiculous victimless arrests.
Stay tuned here to Free Keene for the latest on his saga.
Censure at the very minimum.
Yeah and maybe a time out, too. Really, a censure?
LOL. This is whole petition thing is pretty useless. Didn’t they just ban a committee in charge of petitioning?
Many signatures could motivate other reps to move on it.
i signed it 🙂
The House did just abolish the Grievance Committee; however people still have a right to petition the governments for a redress of grievances. This right is recognized by Article 31 & Article 32 of the NH Constitution, as well as the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution.
Her party is in power. I honestly think aiming for a censure could be aiming too high.

hasn’t she been good for the fsp though? Why stop her…..lol
OK New Hampshire, shows us you can stand up for Liberty. Arrest this fat bit@h for treason and sedition! It’s about time we make an example out some of these Communist and Marxist jerks.
I’m not advocating that she be arrested, simply be censured or impeached from the Legislature. As a State Rep. it is a violation of her oath of office to advocate harming a segment of the population (Free Staters) for the benefit of another segment of the population (those the who support big gov’t).
I never advocate for her to be arrested, I’m advocating she be censured (which is essentially the Legislature saying “we don’t condone your comments/actions”) or impeached (removed from office).
As an elected “representative” there are certain things she is not allowed to say; and her advocating for the removal of rights from one group of people to benefit another group of people is a violation of her oath of office.
As I’ve noted elsewhere, such an action would be construed as being fundamentally the same as a Bill of Attainder (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_attainder), which is prohibited by the Constitutions NH and the US. Proposing something like that is /definitely/ cause for impeachment.
