Capuzzo has written “A letter from the coop”, from the jail in Mass. You can give him something to do in there by sending him (and other NH activists) mail via mail-to-jail! Here’s an OCR of the letter:

A friend of mine raises chickens.
A couple months ago, I recieved a letter from her with a comparison and a question relating to her chickens and my jail time ( which I am currently in my fourth month of).
The comparison is that she keeps her chickens penned up, just like I’m penned up. Then she said something about her stealing the chickens eggs for her own use. I make a comparison about the eggs being like money is to me.

Both the protestors and the wafting tang of marijuana smoke were absent this year. Yet police officers still poured out of the City Hall entrance. Within the half hour between 3:30 and 4:00, more than 10 officers unhurriedly emerged from the building. This time there were no signs, no megaphones, and no pot parties.
According to a Free Keene member who witnessed the demonstration at City Hall, at least a dozen police officers surrounded last year’s group of about 20 protestors. (more…)
