Last week, the town selectmen of Newfields, NH illegally passed an unconstitutional ban on “picketing” outside residences. Monday evening, approximately two dozen state troopers were sent to crack down on a peaceful candlelight vigil outside “HIS EXCELLENCY” King Chris Sununu’s house. Here’s the insane footage, edited from multiple sources thanks to Vincent of Shire Free Media:
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.
Also, observe how the cops are constantly telling the activists what to do: Don’t stand there, you have to move. You can’t move there. You with the cane, you’re getting a ticket for not moving fast enough. Stop moving. Keep your voice down.
Their show of force is ridiculous, with a dozen agents on the scene when the vigil arrives. The troopers don’t even let them light their candles. Then after giving a bunch of arbitrary orders, another dozen cruisers roll in with agents toting batons in a ready-to-engage stance. They surround YouTuber Savage Truth 603 to arrest him for “disorderly conduct” and “criminal trespass” and curiously order the other guy with a camera to back away. The remaining activists are left on the path.
They even ticketed a credentialed reporter from NH Journal, Chris Maidment for “picketing”. NH Journal’s editor says they’re going to court. As should all of the people who were issued tickets – which is everyone who was there, including a man walking with a cane. Even if they lose in court, hopefully the candlelight vigilists will not pay the $100 fines, as doing so only encourages the gang.
Also, hopefully they will get out of the habit of thanking the police for abusing them. It’s hard to watch, but that’s how people are trained. No amount of respecting the police for “just doing their job” is going to help protect anyone’s rights. No thank you, cops. I don’t want your “service”. Leave us alone. You’re hurting peaceful people and trashing human rights. It’s shameful. Don’t thank them when they hand you a ticket.
Later this week, Sununu canceled his public coronation out of fear for what he falsely labeled as “aggressive” protestors.

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 »
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.
@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!
