Goodell calls Wagner a “witch” on his facebook profile and tells me that he’s kept in touch with several Keene High staff since graduating and has heard many comments about Wagner, including that she is crass and narcissistic. He described an incident involving one of Wagner’s first-implemented changes when arriving at KHS:
“A group of students created a super student parking spot near the front entrance of the high school. The parking spot was painted with the “Superman” symbol, meant to represent “Super Student.” The spot was further marked by a sign, much like a handicap sign, that read “Reserved for Student of The Month.” When Wagner arrived at the school, she had the parking spot’s artwork painted over with black paint and the sign was replaced with one that read ‘Principal Parking Only’.”
Current KHS inmate and incoming 2015 Senior Sophie Shatzman said of Wagner, “She talked to the students like they were too young to understand anything important in life, which didn’t get her a lot of respect.” (more…)
Free Keene blogger Garret Ean has made a controversial stand for the free press, even in the face of threats from angry and grieving friends and family of a man who shot himself and died shortly thereafter. Garret had recorded video of the scene and posted it to Free Keene. Youtube recently pulled the video, but it was subsequently uploaded to Liveleak. The Union Leader’s Meghan Pierce filed this report on the free speech controversy. Did Garret go too far?
KEENE — The Free Keene Blog is taking heat for posting footage of a recent standoff that ended with a man shooting himself to death.
“Most of the heat’s online,” said Free Keene blogger Ian Freeman, who started the blog in 2006.
Free Keene blogger Garrett Ean shot and posted the footage.
Community members, especially family members of the deceased, are upset about the posted video, City Council member Randy Filiault said Monday.
Rich Paul, after checking out of the Keene Spiritual Retreat
After viewing the video of the first attack on local chalkers in Central Square, superior court judge John C. Kissinger decided to set bail for Rich Paul at $500. This is a huge step down from “no bail”, the previous decision by the judge, who at the time had not seen the video and was told by the prosecution that Rich was a menace to society and a threat to public safety – a ridiculous claim.
