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.

I don’t know what planet you’re hanging out on but this so called “video” has nothing to do with ‘assaulting”. He just wanted to dig up a story or create one that wasn’t even there. It’s truly not that difficult to see what he was fishing around for. stop trying to be selfish and get what you need because your needs or BS at this point. If I saw a person like this idiot activist trying to stick cameras in everyone’s faces, I would be very angry and resentful. I’m sure it will only be a matter of time before… Read more »

Dave did a personal insult, that’s different

Jumping Jacks

Ian – You guys are a riot. Someone barely touches you and you cry “Assault and Battery” There are number of videos on youtube that seem to go in this direction. People with cameras getting into people’s personal spaces. When question about it, the person with the video camera goes off on anyone near them and screams assault and battery call the police. My rights have been violated I want to press charges. What I seem to recall about these videos is nothing happens. The activist goes off pouting and calling everyone names or they are arrested. I have seen… Read more »

Better to stick a camera in a persons face and politely seek answers than stick a gun in a peaceful persons back and demand money to pay for your ideas which the peaceful person may not agree with.

runningwolfkenpo says

Jumping Jacks – Totally a riot Why are they out there looking for something that doesn’t exist? These poor people have been through a lot. I would really resent having a camera shoved in my face. These activists don’t even care about the people in there. All you want is to find some little so called hidden dirt. This video is one of Ridleys worse. He should be ashamed of himself. These volunteers are so busy and he poses himself as a reporter and all they want is help. He is inappropriate.

obama69

Hell yeah, Jumping Jacks! This true journalism shit you’re talking about sounds totally righteous! My cable subscription definitely doesn’t have any of that shit! So where can I find me some, tough guy?

Bob C.

Volunteering to administer money which has an origin in an involuntary confiscation makes the vociferous volunteers, vicious, volatile, voracious and vapid. Verily!

runningwolfkenpo says

Bob C. – In a situation like this, it is BS to look for things that are not there. Then to try and remove people’s dignity because he “can” is a sad description of the person recording the video. These people are in the midst of loosing everything they have. They are scared, angry, sad, and emotionally burnt out. For some idiot with a camera to be there trying to illicit emotional responses about things that have no meaning is ridiculous. Why not help these people get support and what they need.

Bob C.

@runningwolfkenpo, but’s it not b.s. that the funding for these “volunteers” activities is at least in some part derived from an involuntary process though right?

Would you be okay with me getting a friend some help by forcing you to support my ideas, even if you preferred not to ? I think he’s scared, sad and a little emotional….will that mean I can take more of your money?

Loosing everything they have? Damn, I’m in the midst of trying to loosen just one rusted on bolt, should I get some federal funding or a better wrench ?

runningwolfkenpo says

Bob C. – The involuntary process thing is your words. I didn’t make myself clear enough. The government system is operating on minimum funds. Everyone wants everything for free and then they complain when there isn’t enough money. I really don’t understand your vendetta against public servants. But I’m sure you and the freak activist are on the local police notes to keep their eyes out for you. I’m sure you have had your back ground as well as the other idiot activist looked deeply into.

Bob C.

runningwolf, would love to hear your definition of involuntary. Feel free to make yourself clear.

Russell Kanning

When did these guys first get the idea that they should never be recorded?

runningwolfkenpo says

Bob C. – As usual another stupid activist’s attempt to twist every word around to create their own uneducated response. This is why you don’t have real credibility. You claim to be so truthful but you are shady and it becomes very sad that you have to create mountains out of mole hills just to create a fictional word to support your beliefs. Your question is of no real value. That is why arguing words with you is a waste of my time. You just do not have the right education.

Jumping Jacks

Bob C. – “Better to stick a camera in a persons face and politely seek answers than stick a gun in a peaceful persons back and demand money to pay for your ideas which the peaceful person may not agree with”. You have some very colorful words in your statement. “Better to stick a camera in a persons face and politely seek answers” Again, if you are violating a person’s space you are infringing on their rights. Just because the first amendment says freedom of “the Press” doesn’t give you the right to step on other’s rights. There are multiple… Read more »

Jumping Jacks – Your comments were way out of line and were of no use for this type of article. Your another goof stop free keener trying to get his 5 minutes in the lime light. What planet are you from? I suggest you take a big dose of reality.

obama69

Hell yeah, Jumping Jacks! So which one of those “true journalists” should we look to to tell us who to cast our ballots for? Maybe that Rachel Maddow fella? Shit, that guy’s got a sweet, sweet mullet, doesn’t he?

kk

I can be sympathetic to not wanting a camera in your face, but that is no excuse to assault someone and it is also misleading to say ridley put a camera in his face. What you are upset and the guy is upset about is that sometimes people demand accountability from these bureaucrat that have no problem using actual violence. If ridley had actually touched anybody you statist would have no problem calling the same thing assault. What is humorous is we are using YOUR words to describe what happened. Unlike you ridley and ian who wrote this article aren’t… Read more »

A lot of these comments talk about a reporter shoving a camera in their faces. I did not see that, i saw the ppl walk towards him, based on legitimate questions these officials love to dodge. Rudely, feel free to contact me. I have some federal agent details you may want to get NH slow folks up to speed on in gov’t corruption. Im in Keene, NH. #VictimsofFastandFurious

Hiawatha

These commenters you’re talking about understand all too well that you can’t catch a professional liar lying about things without having a camera around.
