Last Sunday John F. DiBernardo wrote this tongue-in-cheek LTE to the Keene Sentinel:
It is obvious to everyone in the area that the city of Keene has a problem with people writing and drawing with chalk on the sidewalks of the downtown business district. There have been many suggestions as to how to deal with this scourge, but none as basic, simple and reasonable as the solution I propose. The root of the problem is quite clear: the easy availability of chalk enables anyone to just grab a piece of chalk and, perhaps in a heated moment, or as an act of depraved indifference, to commit acts of drawing or writing that will be rued by all sensible members of society.
No rights are limitless; all we need are reasonable, commonsense city laws controlling the sale and possession of chalk. (more…)

Details are scarce at the moment, but it appears that Robin Hood himself, aka James Cleaveland has been arrested, purportedly as he attempted to gather news about a standoff between an allegedly suicidal man and Keene police.
The Keene Sentinel has a developing story regarding the standoff, which has apparently ended after shots have been fired. Some activists returning from the scene believe that the allegedly suicidal man shot himself. Regarding James’ arrest, no other activists were apparently there to witness it and details are unclear as to if James was recording at the time or not.
UPDATE 12am Eastern: James is out and was interviewed on Peace News Now with Derrick J on LRN.FM.
According to his interview with Derrick J, James has been charged with “Disorderly Conduct” and “Resisting Arrest”. He says he was trying to comply and had agreed to move backwards. He says the police have confiscated his camera. James will be arraigned at Keene district court on 9/2 at 8:30am.

Buzz’s Big Gay Dance Party @ Porcfest 2014
This year’s Porcfest was fantastic! The Porcupine Freedom Festival is the yearly camping gathering put on in NH by the Free State Project. Here’s the first piece of media to hit the news about the event, via the Union Leader:
LANCASTER – The theme of the Free State Project’s 11th annual summer gathering in New Hampshire is “DIY: Do it Yourself,” as if most in the expected crowd of 1,500 for the final three days of the Porcupine Freedom Festival, or Porcfest XI, needed any urging in that direction. (more…)
