Two weeks before election day, the crew behind the campaign to elect Nick Ryder to City Council has released 4 promotional clips. They play back to back in the below embedded video:
Campaign staff will also be ramping up brochure distribution in the final weeks to spread Ryder’s name and idea recognition. He is the only candidate bringing anything resembling a new perspective to the Council race saturated with incumbents and former councilmen. This is made clear when he is the only candidate that media hosts debate with during interviews.
Police arrested and soon released a protester named Evan downtown on Sunday afternoon. He was let go after the police realized he wasn’t actually in possession of marijuana.
Lt. Shane Maxfield continued his undying urging of activists to “work within the system.” I was taught in school that democracy was defined as “Majority rule with minority rights.” When the rights of minorities are stripped by the majority, democracy falls apart, and the time, money, and effort needed to win back just one measly right is so extreme and so costly, that activists often burn out before one victory.
The system is broken when it proves is has unlimited purview in controlling the private lives of citizens. The system is broken because it has no restrictions. The system is broken because 1000 people stealing from or enslaving 100 is not moral, even if they voted.
The system is broken, Shane. Stop following immoral orders.
In an anti-climactic conclusion, Nick Ryder’s disorderly conduct charges were reported as being dismissed in today’s Keene Sentinel court log. He was being charged for the violation after standing in the Keene District Court lobby on April 13th after a police officer told everyone to “clear out”. The lobby was not closed for business, and Ryder was not in the way, so he remained in the room and was issued a citation.
The ruling was reportedly made on September 4th, and Ryder never received notification of it.
