As you may recall from this original video interview with him from 2013 and this followup article, Gary Chase has had his life destroyed by the people calling themselves the “Town of Winchester”. Winchester is a notoriously corrupt place, and this case has plenty of it. There’s a lot to detail, but in short, the town bureaucrats have designs on Gary’s prime real estate in downtown Winchester, and have been attacking him over him storing various equipment and supplies on the property. Despite him attempting to comply with their demands, they come and steal his stuff. Though it was all supposed to go to a scrapyard, Gary says he has evidence that lots of the valuable equipment ended up at the homes of the town bureaucrats. Add to that the years spent in court, $250,000 in liens placed on his properties by the bureaucrats, his divorce (that happened because of the stress placed on them by the Town bureaucrats), and his crippling spine injury, and you have a man left decimated.
In videos just posted, Lauren Canario and her husband Jim Johnson show up with video cameras in 2013 to document the the open theft and destruction of Gary Chase’s property.
As you may recall, the “City of Keene’s” illegal case against Free Keene blogger and NH native Graham Colson was nearly dismissed from Keene district court, but judge Burke allowed a few days for “the city” to file a motion to reconsider, which they did.
To recap, attorney Meyer had argued that banning Graham from Central Square for skateboarding – without first trying and convicting him of such – was illegal and in violation of due process and separation of powers. Here’s a longer article about that argument.
So, again, the people calling themselves “the City of Keene” have now lost multiple cases against local activists, at who knows what cost to the taxpayers. They lost the trespassing and smoke alarm cases against me, the Robin Hood case, and now their no-trespass orders at Central Sq. have been smacked down by judge Burke. Kudos to Burke for making the right decision again!
The Associated Press files this report on Keene state rep Chuck Weed’s excellent bill that would add “None of the Above” to all ballots in New Hampshire!
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A bill that would add the option of choosing “none of the above” on New Hampshire ballots seems like a quintessential proposal for the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state that prides itself on having discerning voters.
But even the measure’s sponsors say it’s probably doomed, with one acknowledging that it would be humiliating for a candidate to be defeated by no one rather than an actual opponent.
Sponsor Charles Weed, D-Keene, says voters should have the chance to express their dissatisfaction with all the candidates for a given office.
“Real choice means people have to be able to withhold their consent,” Weed said. “You can’t do that with silly write-ins. Mickey Mouse is not as good as ‘none of the above.’” (more…)
The Peace Roundtable was the most well-attended and controversial event at Keenevention 2013. It ran overtime by nearly a half-hour!
Is peace attainable through violence or is peace the only way? Does self-defense against aggressive state agents just make matters worse for future activists? These questions and many from the audience were discussed at the Peace Roundtable featuring Derrick J Freeman, Ian Freeman, and Chris Cantwell:
