NH Governor Mute on State Police Camera Seizure

New Hampshire governor Maggie Hassan was recently ambush interviewed by Dave Ridley multiple times at the same event as she greeted constituents and took photographs with young people. The topic of the interview was the electronics raid exacted on Garret Ean by state police investigator Joseph DiRusso on June 26, which resulted in a 55 day hassan_picakpf1aconfiscation of the device. When the camera was returned on August 19, it had some minor vandalism scribbled on the underside by unknown agents of the state.

Throughout the entire video, the governor of New Hampshire does not once seem to so much as acknowledge Ridley’s presence. After the chief politician is back in her vehicle, Dave turns his camera to her driver, asking if it’s appropriate for the state’s chief executive to ignore the state’s number two most popular youtube channel. He follows his boss’ lead and 2013_06_26_dirussohandalso gives the journalist nothing but a silently bowed head. Maggie Hassan has also been evasive with independent media in the past, including when the topic of the ambush interview asked the newly-inaugurated Hassan about NH independence.

Stumbling into a parking enforcer

Stumbling into AKPF agent

Local political trivialities are warming up as one candidate has gotten ahead of the curve in quickly releasing a mayoral race video entitled Bradford for Mayor through the independently organized Keene Unfancypants Party. The advertisement showcases Bradford’s passion and drive to make a change in the Keene, New Hampshire city government. With no end in sight to politics as usual, Bradford offers choice to the citizenry in this year’s contest for mayordom. You can see special edition videos of Bradford attacking Robin Hooders Garret and Graham on two separate occasions in February of this year from Fr33manTVraw. In the latter footage, Bradford stumbles into a parking enforcement officer before harassing Graham for filming the enforcer. Be sure to share Bradford for Mayor with all municiple voters you know – this election season, education is power!

City of Keene: We Fight On That Lie

fighton_001akpfteamPremiering this morning, just in time for the latest courtroom extravaganza for Robin Hood and the Merry People is a new video short exclusive from the inner workings of city hall. Here, we see a desperate DPRK gathering of officials, feeling particularly revved for conflict as narrated by sanctioned media reports. Prince John and Jester Mullins star in this brief insight, with a revealing monologue being delivered by the jester at the end of the installment. “Don’t matter who did what to who at this point. Fact is, we went to war, and now there ain’t no going back. I mean, sh¡t, it’s what war is, you know? Once you in it, you in it. If it’s a lie, then we fight on that lie. But we gotta fight.” If only public officials had an incentive to favor deescalation and conflict resolution over paperwork plunder.

City Attorney Admits to Sentinel: Robin Hood Suit is About Revenue

Robin Hood of KeeneKudos to the Sentinel for being first to press with the story on the 2nd lawsuit the city has filed against Robin Hooders. In it, the city attorney finally admits it’s about the revenue, but adds a lie to the mix:

Any significant loss of revenue has more to do with officers writing fewer tickets than in the past because they’ve been distracted by the alleged harassing behavior, he said.

It’s either a lie or city attorney Thom Mullins doesn’t understand how Robin Hooding works. The Robin Hooder should be positioned in front of the parking enforcer, filling meters before the enforcer can reach them. That is why they are writing fewer tickets, it’s not because they are distracted! Just admit it, Thom – you guys are pissed that you have missed out on at least $25,000 in revenue this year because Robin Hooders have saved well over 5,000 motorists from being victimized by your agents!

Here’s the story from the Keene Sentinel’s Kyle Jarvis: (more…)

City Sues Robin Hooders AGAIN, Demands Jury Trial, Damages, Attorney’s Fees

Wanted Robin HoodIf you thought the first case against Robin Hooders was ridiculous, have I got news for you:

The people calling themselves the “City of Keene” have now filed another lawsuit against the same Robin Hooders (and Pete Eyre, who has never Robin Hooded) in Cheshire “superior” court. This time, they allege the same things as before, that we have cause them damage by “harassing” and “intimidating” their parking enforcers as part of a conspiracy to meddle with their employment contracts. Now, they are seeking monetary damages plus their attorneys’ fees (which are not going to be small, given the huge number of hours they have likely already billed on just the first case alone) and are demanding a jury trial! So if it weren’t bad enough that they are wasting the court’s time with one trial, now they are going to waste even more of the court’s time AND the time of a dozen innocent jurors who could be out living their productive lives.

Hey wait… I thought the city people had originally claimed this wasn’t about the revenues they had lost from the Robin Hooding!  In fact, yes, here is the city manager himself making just that exact statement to the Union Leader:

“This is not about revenue. This is not about the city losing any money,” – City Manager John A. MacLean

From the new suit:

37. The City has suffered damages, all within the jurisdictional limits of the Court, for
the following:
a. Loss of an employee;
b. A modified schedule for another employee because of the Defendants’
behavior;
c. Hiring costs to replace the lost employee;
d. Monetary and administrative expenses with regard to counseling and other
Human Resource issues; and
e. The PEOs’ inability to properly perform their employment duties.

Item “e” is another way of them saying “LOST REVENUE”.  Looks like the truth has come out.  It IS really all about their lost revenue…and the continued attempt to crush the liberty activists in the area.  The defendants must file appearances and answers in the case within 30 days of being served with the case.  Here is the 2nd lawsuit against Robin Hooders in PDF form, as filed in Cheshire “superior” court on Monday 9/23.
