This morning Free Keene blogger Meg McLain was on Fox News, along with Robert Fernandez, to discuss yesterday’s successful Lemonade Freedom Day. Despite being a nationwide event, it appears that there were only three arrests made on Lemonade Freedom Day and all were in Washington, DC. Everywhere else in the country, including Keene, cops used their discretion and ignored the open agorism taking place. Here’s Meg and Robert on Fox and Friends this morning:
Meg wasn’t given much time to discuss the abuse she faced at the hands of the U.S. Capitol Police Department but she did post the unfortunate details to her new blog, MegMclain.com.
UPDATE: Both Robert and Meg presented their views on liberty to the large audience of Fox and Friends. They spoke about good people disobeying bad laws and Robert was even able to mention jury nullification. Here are some quotes from this segment that I first posted on CDEvolution.org:
When you’re shutting down a kids lemonade stand, you’re basically telling them they can’t do anything, they can’t follow their dreams, they can’t set a goal and achieve that goal without getting permission from the government first. I think this is absurd. We’re all individual with an inherent right that we should be able to sell goods and services with other voluntary individuals that want to participate without having any problems and asking permission.
– Robert Fernandez
When the rules are inappropriate, there’s no reason that anybody should ever have to endure what I went through just for selling 10 cent glasses of lemonade.
– Meg McClain
The Fox Host asks Meg what she had to endure, which you can find more on at MegMcLain.com.
Fox Host: Robert, Ultimately what to you want to happen here. What are you hoping to achieve?
The biggest thing that I’d like to achieve here is to get good people to disobey bad laws. Police are human, we’re all individuals, we all make mistakes, so do the police, so do lawmakers. Not all laws are good, some laws are bad and when we have bad laws we need to disobey them.
– Robert Fernandez
Fox Host: Maybe the message here is to just lighten up.
I think we still need to stand up and disobey these types of laws.
Jurors need to be more informed and need to make decisions based on their conscience.
– Robert Fernandez
