As some of you are already aware local bully and tyrant, Fred Parsells, submitted a letter to the Keene Sentinel titled: Stealing from Keene taxpayers, early last week. In it he actually suggests that the residents of Keene should blame their high property tax on the Robin Hooders. I immediately submitted my own rebuttal but it was denied because it did not meet the Sentinel’s standards. It would seem that it is quite alright for Fred to call the Robin Hooders thieves but not for me to call him a busybody and a parasite. Here is my submission:
In response to Fred Parsell’s letter “Stealing from Keene taxpayers.”
Sorry Fred, you got it wrong. The Robin Hood of lore was not stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. He was in fact taking money back from an oppressive government that stole through forced taxation and giving it back to the rightful owners. The taxpayers. A lot of folks don’t seem to understand that part.
Something else people might not be clear about: This year the city estimates it will take in $634,406 from meter collections and fines, but will end up spending $602,000 on the parking enforcement operating costs for a whopping total gain of $32,406. Does anyone not see a problem here? The fines and collection barely pay for the enforcers and their uniforms. So why even have them? If the city managers believe it’s so important to get folks to visit downtown and spend their money, why risk scaring them away with nasty tickets?
The bottom line here: Fred, who has been living off the backs of the taxpayers his whole working career, can’t fathom the idea of a community operating with any efficiency without the heavy hand of a tax-payer funded city government making every decision for us. The answer is the free market. If Keene is to survive the coming days, it must evolve past this mentality that government is the only solution to all of its problems.
Fred, what do you actually do? Besides collecting $56,610 a year in pension and $x/year as a housing inspector. Every time I’ve seen you downtown you’re either helping the parking enforcers write tickets or washing chalk off the sidewalks with your little spray bottle. You’re nothing but a busybody and a meddler. If you really cared about the taxpayer, you’d quit your job and give back some of that pension.

Almost a week after the Pumpkin Festival, and still no one has any clue who these unidentified men are. Keene Police confirmed that the 9 individuals are law enforcers, but of what agency? Who hired them? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er6YOZVIh9g

Pete, as you may be aware, is currently on the Cop Block “Police Accountability Tour”. He just got back from South Africa and is now in San Francisco, where he was recently arrested for “jaywalking” when following police who were less-than-interested in identifying themselves. The cops claim he was a “pedestrian in the street” because Pete stepped off the sidewalk into the parking lane. He was in no way blocking traffic.
Regardless, though the police shut off Pete’s camera at one point, his audio recorder continues. Despite Pete informing them they were being broadcast live, the police make the critical mistake of overlooking the audio recorder and proceed to speak what-they-think-is-privately once Pete is no longer around them. This conversation between the police begins at 5:11 in the video. They are paranoid that Pete may be a “sovereign citizen”. They describe what they did to Pete: “We jacked him (laughs)”
My favorite part is when they dig through Pete’s stuff and find the “Don’t the the Plea Deal” flier. Officer Khuu exasperatedly says, “What is this junk? Don’t the the plea deal… oh god, an anarchist.”
There is also plenty of profanity from the potty-mouthed police, lots of “fuck him”s, plus they openly discuss charging him with something called “due process of id”.
Pete was cited and released. Not sure when the court date is.
A new trailer for the evidentiary hearing videos from the lawsuit by the City of Keene against Robin Hood and the Merry People has published online as the raw footage becomes available through Fr33manTVraw.
