If you’re an open-carry activist or proponent… please read #9. The state is charging someone with disorderly conduct for what appears to be the mere act of openly-carrying a pistol. The judge rejected a plea in the case out of concerns that the man should be charged with a more serious offense.
This should be alarming to all of us who value our inherent and constitutional right to carry a firearm.
1. The Keene Police protected and served the community when one of their officers arrested a man for robbing someone of a 12-pack of beer and kicking him in the face. This is what the police should be doing. Good work Keene PD! This is a crime clearly worthy of state action as this man is a threat to those of us who wish to be peaceful.
Only go after people like this who have hurt someone and your days of having to worry about all the pesky activists will be numbered!
2. The Manchester Police have likewise protected their community when they caught a guy who beat the crap out of someone else with a baseball bat. Good work MPD! This guy obviously is dangerous and needs to be met with justice. This is the type of thing that protection services should be investigating and preventing. The guy could have avoided having the force of the state come after him if he simply refrained from using the blunt force of a baseball bat on another human being.
Initiating violence against anyone for any reason is always wrong.

Those of us who are active in the liberty movement’s media outreach spend a considerable amount of time speaking negatively about the actions of those who represent the state. To be fair to the truth of my past, I often speak negatively about actions that I myself took while representing the state. The tools we use to move towards a society that allows greater freedom is stronger than any weapon that the state relies on to exist and enforce it’s will. The tools we use are words, compassion, and understanding.
I believe our words should be used to punish when we are hurt and even more importantly… to thank when we are treated well.
Today I was pulled over traveling south on Route 3 in Nashua. I was going 70MPH in a 55MPH zone and anyone who knows the road knows that following the 55MPH limit would be dangerous when everyone is going 70+ around you. I was just keeping up with traffic and not trying to get somewhere quickly.
The Nashua officer approached me and I provided him with my license and registration. I then decided to follow my own advice that I frequently provide others when dealing with the police: remain silent.

1. It is refreshing when the state focuses on going after those who actually hurt others. A woman attacked with a dumbbell. An accused rapist. Another accused rapist. A man who breaks a woman’s nose in a domestic dispute. A man who shakes a helpless 11-month old child. This behavior, if proven to have actually have committed, is unacceptable and should be met with justice.
Is it really hard to understand that people within the freedom/liberty movement simply want consensual acts between people as well as acts which harm no other individual to be unfettered? It is amazing that simply wanting to allow other people to live their lives in the way they see fit is a goal that needs to be striven for.
In the “land of the free” shouldn’t this already be the state of affairs?

Time for some news from around New Hampshire viewed through the perspective of a person who used to be authorized to use violence to enforce morality.
I welcome your opinions about mine:
1. Lawmakers are contemplating a change to the “Right-to-know” law which would allow greater governmental accountability for the people. The people, you know, who have to consent to the government in order for it to even exist.
“But those who worry about the continued efforts of public officials to restrict public access see this as one more attempt to inhibit the spirit of the law.”
Public servants. People who work for and answer to you. They’ll be the judge of what you should know. Just trust them.

And you’d better believe it is a threat:
I don’t want to pay $892.96 to fund the police attacking people for doing things that haven’t hurt anyone.
I don’t want to pay $1561.55 to fund the local school system that will dumb down kids and teach them that it is okay to use violence to solve problems.
I don’t want to pay $353.24 to fund other school systems to dumb down kids and teach them that it is okay to use violence to solve problems.
I don’t want to pay $400.25 to fund keeping humans in cages for doing things that haven’t harmed anyone else.
……… but I will. I will because I don’t want violence to be used against me. I am a believer in karma so I’d say that I’d deserve it.
I used violence all the time to enforce the will of the majority. If someone didn’t do what I said I’d either slam them on the pavement, put 50,000 volts of electricity through their body, hit them with a baton, or spray them with painful pepper spray. I hurt a lot of people who never hurt anyone else. I regret it. I am sorry.
If I don’t pay the government will sell my home. If I don’t leave when they sell it they will use violence to get me out. If I defend myself… I’ll be killed.
I understand how someone can think that this is acceptable behavior for a supposed “civilized” society. It is not.
