This morning Manchester cops acting on a piece of paper from Nashua PD threatened to break down a door, then pointed guns at the peaceful occupants inside Big Mike’s home as they arrested him on “disorderly conduct” allegedly from the 420 crackdown weeks ago in Nashua. Subscribe to Porc 411s for the latest on all three activists, and visit the Free Keene Forum for discussion.
Here are the raw videos that Joe in Manchester was able to take as the MPD agents kidnap Big Mike. Part 1 is here and here’s the more interesting Part 2:
According to a reliable source, the police in NH can enforce warrants outside their “jurisdiction”, so a warrant from Nashua can be enforced by Nashua PD traveling to another county or city and can also be enforced by whatever the local PD is, or the staties. In short, they can get you anywhere you are, no matter the politically designated land mass. It is currently unknown how many others will be arrested. I’m awaiting a call back from Raymond McDannell, a lieutenant in the Nashua Police Department and their media liaison.
A bunch of liberty-minded people called “Talkback” on WKBK last week to discuss noncooperation, fearing neighbors, micromanaging, blindly enforcing “the law”, police abuse, Eli Rivera, customer service, dumpster regulations, cost cutting, and property taxes. Cynthia and Nat get very frustrated with principled, peaceful people calling in. Their cognitive dissonance is very heavy. You’ll hear lots of defending institutionalized violence by the statist callers and hosts. Plus Nat gets particularly uncomfortable and starts laying down all kinds of new rules as far as what types of calls he thinks Talkback should accept. Finally, the smooth professional bureaucrat swoops in to rescue the part-time city councilors! Listen as Keene city manager John MacLean just happens to drop by the studio in a clear attempt to assist Cynthia and Nat in handling the unusual amount of logical, compassionate voices of liberty activists calling in. This is an epic episode.
Do you love liberty and live, work in, visit, or plan to move to the Keene area? If so, it would be great for you to get involved with this project each week. Here’s how you can help:
Please join us for our weekly chat and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 9a-12p in the Liberty Radio Network Chat room. If you’re online, you can listen to Talkback streamed live via the Liberty Radio Network and if you’re in the Keene area you can tune in to WKBK 1290 AM or 104.1 FM. The Talkback discussion thread is here on the Free Keene Forum.
I see that Pam Martens has brought her misinformation to the pages of your fine newspaper and felt inspired to respond, as one of the much-maligned “free staters.”
Pam wrote:
“A majority of Free Staters currently in New Hampshire have indicated they want to replace public education with home schooling and private schools; they want to end all government regulation of businesses, from licensing manicurists, to getting drivers licenses, to elimination of planning and zoning boards. They don’t believe government should be able to mandate taxation to pay for schools, roads, Social Security or any social welfare programs like nursing homes.”
First, I highly doubt Pam has spoken with a majority of free staters, as there are more than 800 of them here in New Hampshire. Of course, the New Hampshire liberty movement is much larger than that. So-called “free staters” are merely the backup for the already existing liberty lovers here, many of whom are natives, unlike Pam.
What she doesn’t understand is that most liberty-oriented people I know are in favor of many of the things she talks about, minus the coercion. I’m fine with schools, roads and helping the poor. In fact, I contributed a significant amount to the United Way during last year’s funding drive, because I believe in charity.
However, government is not charity. It is force. I cannot support using the evil means of aggression to achieve good ends of helping people in need. We can help people in need without aggressing against our neighbors. (more…)
