NH House Redress of Grievances Committee Needs Your Support!

New Hampshire State Representative Kevin Avard (R) (Hills-20) is doing amazing work on giving voice to people who have suffered abuses by the NH Judicial Branch in his new show “Speak Up New Hampshire.”

I was honored when Rep. Avard asked me to be his second guest to speak of the abuses suffered by Ademo Freeman and Jason Talley of Keene by the hands of the judiciary. That interview now has over 1,000 views.

Rep. Avard is shining a much needed spotlight on a branch of government that operates almost completely unaccountable to anyone.

He also needs your help.

Rep. Avard is asking that all people who support accountability in the New Hampshire Judicial Branch come to a press conference he is holding at the Legislative Office Building (LOB) in Concord next week in support of House Speaker William L. O’Brien’s continued support of the Redress of Grievances Committee.

I’d argue that whether your individual political ideology makes you a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Voluntaryist, Anarchist, Communist, or simply someone who doesn’t care about politics at all, you should agree that criminal public officials need to be held accountable by someone.

Bad Policy, Good People, Real Tragedy

I know and respect two of the officers who were shot in the violent drug warrant service last night.

Deceased Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney was a very nice person who was always very kind to me when I interacted with him. When Chief Maloney was the police chief in North Hampton, NH and I was a brand new officer, the Chief took time to help me with prosecution of my cases in the Hampton District Court. He didn’t have to, he was just a good guy.

Seriously injured Newmarket and Attorney General’s Drug Task Force Officer Scott Kukesh is quite simply an outstanding human being. I guarantee you that if any of you met him (and didn’t know what he did for work) that you’d like him for sure.

Although I disagree with the violation of the NAP that comes from the enforcement of victimless-crime drug policy, I just wanted to take an opportunity to remind people in the liberty community that although people in law enforcement frequently enforce public policy that we disagree with, it doesn’t make them bad people.

No one, including the people being investigated, needed to die. Violence is not the solution to the drug abuse/addiction problem faced by society.
