A commenter on the article regarding the Weare, NH Police protest responded to the claims that Free Staters are trying to “force” their way on others:
I’m surprised at the number of people who think liberty can be “forced” on anyone.
How could anyone object to being left alone?
Could it really be an objection to the idea of having to leave other people alone?
So the real question is, what kind of people feel threatened by not being able to meddle in other people’s lives?
– Bob Robertson, Manchester
Amen, Bob. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Unless someone is harming another person or that persons property, leave them alone.

I’ve been giving those ridiculous arrests by Weare Police Department some thought and I’ve come to conclude something: they are wishing, and hoping, and praying that House Bill 145 is passed by the Senate and signed into law by Governor John Lynch.
If that bill becomes law, which it should, Weare PD gets to drop the derisory charges that are still pending (for the third time) and claim that they had no choice as the law has changed. How convenient for Weare PD.

While reading the excellent article by the Union Leader that Ian Freeman blogged about earlier, I couldn’t help but notice the following comment:
“It would be a real tragedy if one of these people were shot in the face while reaching for a recording device that looks much like a weapon.
– The Blue Boot, manchester”
There is absolutley no conclusive evidence that this commenter was in fact a member of law enforcement. For the sake of argument, please assume that he is.
What Mr. Boot is suggesting is that members of the public utilizing cameras to record public servants performing public functions (as allowed by the 1st Amendment all law enforcement officers swore an oath to uphold) be shot under the fabricated guise of a justifiable shooting.

I just read an article about the City of Dayton, Ohio being told by the United States Department of Justice that they will have to lower their testing standards because not enough black people are able to pass their police entrance exam.
Why on Earth should it matter what color someone’s skin is?

On 01/23/11 when Seth Gagne passed a note to a pharmacist in Rochester, NH, his intentions were made quite clear:
“Police say he passed a note to a pharmacist saying that if the pharmacist “pushed the button and did not return, (the pharmacist) would die.””
