Robin Hood of KeeneThe Keene Sentinel’s Kyle Jarvis has written an excellent piece on Keene’s Robin Hooders – the good men and women who are on the streets daily, rescuing motorists from being ticketed by KPD’s meter maids. In the article, city boss John MacLean makes ridiculous claims and tries to paint the Robin Hooders as shark-like. He claims they are, “circling” the enforcers and “harassing”, “impeding”, and even “standing on top of” them!

Robin Hood of KeeneA letter to the editor was recently published in the Keene Sentinel by David Crawford. In it, he expresses appreciation for Robin Hooders, the people who save motorists from being ticketed for parking at expired meters by placing coins in said meters before the meter maids can reach them to write a ticket.

Here’s the original version of his letter, as he sent it to the Sentinel:

This is the insane “war on drugs”: The KPD & FBI bust a heroin dealer then promise to set him free in return for helping them bust a cannabis dealer! The story goes deeper – turns out it was all about targeting Rich Paul’s political associates. The FBI’s Phil Christiana was handling the case and tried to get Rich Paul to set up his fellow liberty activists for arrest. Rich refused to turn snitch and is now going to jury trial on Tuesday at 9am at Cheshire “superior” court. In this video from CopBlock‘s Pete Eyre, Rich Admits he sold cannabis and plans to ask the jury to nullify the war on drugs. Rich says, toward the end of the video, “The time has come to end…this war on drugs”.
