It’s been a hectic 36 hours since my camera was seized from my person by two armed men, one of whom rifled through my pockets with his bear mitts. In that time period, I’ve organized videos regarding the encounter into one source on Fr33manTVraw, and have followed up with legal professionals on how to move forward. The next step is finding out where the missing affidavit is, and if it even exists. I’ve since received a backup recording device from a friend, which I used today as I went Robin Hooding with visitors in town from Michigan. Fortunately, I have not been accosted by law enforcement since the robbery. I’m am still operating under the impression that myself or my property may be seized at any time while I am about, as there is no deadline on the surviving portion of the search warrant that was executed on myself yesterday morning.
Last evening, a good portion of Free Talk Live focused on the peculiar encounter with law enforcement, as I occupied the guest chair on the program, beginning at 0:21:34. In addition to the incident, we discuss AKPF #1, Robin Hooding, and toward the end of the show, the war on chalk is examined. The full episode is linked below, courtesy of the soundcloud.
As if to prove they don’t know what they are doing, the people calling themselves the “City of Keene” have apparently dipped into their stolen funds (your tax money) and are now lavishing it on the same private law firm that they previously hired when Darryl sued the city asking for an apology.
Days after the city of Keene published an embarrassingly poor quality, overchopped video linked from the front page of their website, the producers of AKPF #1 have responded by illustrating the number of doctorations contained in the thirteen minute shameful sham. Check out this sneek peek at content to be featured in the fourthcoming AKPF #1 episode 08. Episode 07 will air this coming Monday, July 1. Catch up on the exciting variety series from the beginning at youtube.com/AquaKeene.
From 1:29 through 14:49, the complete and uncut production by anonymous CoK forces is played, with the only additions being music during silent title interludes and the counters at the bottom of the screen documenting the quantity of dastardly edits.
Yesterday I received in the mail a semi-update on the Robin Hood lawsuit. My discovery request is apparently being treated partially as a 91-A request, which entitles you to a friendly letter from the city (in this case, penned by jester Mullins himself). He affirmed that he still reserved the right to object to my discovery request, and I have yet to hear word back on that.
Earlier in the week, while myself and many other activists from across the Earth were in northern New Hampshire attending the tenth Porcupine Freedom Festival, the royalty deeming itself the city of Keene spent more of the people’s stolen labor value hiring fancy pants lawyers from Concord to run interference for their case. Myself and others received a notice of appearance by the lawfirm Gallagher, Callahan, and Gartrell, with Eric G. Moscowitz (aka No. 18961) and Charles P. Bauer (aka No. 208) to be sidekicking on the city’s frivolous folly.
In a debasingly juvenile move by ‘the city of Keene’, someone(s) with incredibly limited experience working with video did the disservice of not only incorrectly scaling, but also compressing from high resolution to an unacceptable-as-VHS pixelated product video of Robin Hooders in action. Beyond the degraded resolution quality, the editing is so choppily fast paced that none of the sentence fragments of interactions documented provide any context. A list of sources of each video segment are currently being compiled by the merry people, as the city of course provided almost no description accompanying the video beyond continuing to falsely assert that, “the so called ‘Robin Hooders,’…stated intention is the elimination of a function of City Government.” A response video from the producers of AKPF #1 is expected to document the amount of heavy editing employed by the footage’s anonymous doctoror. It is unlikely that the amateur attempt at video editing published by the city of Keene would be admissible in court. Unlike the city of Keene, the Merry Women and Men publish their raw footage for full accountability. Lacking legal credibility, the video will stand as yet another public relations embarrassment for city bureaucrats combating the persistently pleasant Robin Hooders. (more…)
Did you see the recent MSFI committee meeting in city hall? Here’s the video and the minutes. Allow me to direct your attention to page 11 of the minutes where a very interesting and revealing conversation takes place between city attorney Thom Mullins and councilor Phil Jones.
In it, the committee members are looking at their options to do something about the synthetic drugs. The attorney proposed a resolution or an ordinance, but admits the ordinance would be subject to challenge in the criminal courts as it is likely unconstitutional. The constitution is treated as though it’s an annoyance, but ultimately Mullins is asked by Jones that if they were to outlaw the chemicals via illegal ordinance, wouldn’t that deter challenges due to people not wanting to go through court? Mullins affirms it would deter challenges and points out that no municipality in NH has yet had such a challenge. However, he reveals, it could present a liability issue.
This entire portion of the minutes is a perfect example of what I’ve said for a long time – the government people do whatever they want and hope they don’t get called on it in court. The court system is ponderously slow and also intimidating, so the various illegal ordinances and statutes that are passed by these control-freaks are never challenged – and they know it. (more…)
For years, activists have faced countless threats, intimidation, discrimination, ignorance, misinterpretation of judges’ orders, and various other episodes of malfeasance on the part of the bailiffs at Cheshire “superior” court. The quotes are around “superior” because their operation is clearly not. Though Keene district court’s security has had a bad apple or two over the years (longtime district court badge-heavy Ron Dusavitch has moved to superior court), their bailiffs are generally well-mannered compared to superior court’s squad of angry old men.
Recently, Judge John C. Kissinger granted my motion for a hearing on the bailiffs’ constantly bad behavior. Kissinger thus far has proven to be a more reasonable judge than his predecessor, John P. Arnold, who was the definition of a petty tyrant. Kissinger has not restricted t-shirts with messages, has not threatened anyone over not standing, has not restricted physical camera operation by media in the courtroom, and has allowed more than one cameraman. He’s not by any means the best he could be, after all he still sentenced Rich Paul to jail, but he does not come off as petty as Arnold. He has smiled a number of times during various hearings, a possible indicator of the human being beneath the robe.
