A “fellow libertarian” used force against me

A few days ago, some friends and I were clearing brush on my property in Grafton, preparing to building a house, and we were burning some small stuff to make a fire to cook hot dogs on. Suddenly, thugs appeared and threatened us with violence if we didn’t put our fire out. We politely refused to comply with their threats, and more thugs came, and eventually the fire chief of Grafton, John Babiarz, who is a self-proclaimed libertarian (he’s apparently the libertarian party’s current gubernatorial candidate for NH), brought a fire truck and put out my camp fire. This may sound ridiculous, but it looks even more ridiculous. Check out the video.

NH Police Warning Cocaine Users

The police in New Hampshire are warning that cocaine is being cut with a dangerous animal drug.

A New Hampshire police department is warning that a drug used to treat animals is being added to cocaine and sending users of the illegal drug to the hospital.

During liquor prohibition this happened quite frequently.  Because alcohol is now a legal drug it is largely sold by professional companies who strive to make their products the absolute safest.  If Corona all the sudden had a reputation that it was killing people, you’d better believe that they’d be going out of business in short order.

Let’s face reality.  People in this world are going to choose to use cocaine.  I disagree with using cocaine and would attempt to talk someone out of making such a choice, but if they insist, I want them to be able to receive it from a professional source, one who is motivated to create a product that is not likely to cause their customer death.  So long as the drug war continues the chances of that are slim to none.

Like telling a kid sex is wrong and not to do it, telling people drugs are bad and not to use them will continue to be ineffective.

Mental Gymnastics and Recording The Police

Last year the NH Liberty Alliance put it’s weight behind HB 312, a bill which would allow members of the public to record government agents (who have the legal authority to kill you) in public without the fear of being arrested.

This video from Seattle (which went viral today) is the real reason why the police do not want to be recorded:

When Bureaucrats Attack

The now infamous camera ban in the 2nd floor lobby of the Keene city hall has expanded again. OTN camera crews are attacked by Keene District Court Security with a metal door.

All this happens right in front of a Keene policewoman who refuses to even take a report, much less arrest  the out of control court employee.  Plans for a massive camera civil disobedience event are in the works. How much longer can this behavior go on, and how do you feel knowing you pay them to treat you this way?

Quadriplegic Repeatedly Arrested for Medical Marijuana; Faces Jail

Story here.

Oh, but Marijuana users don’t go to jail, right?  Especially the sick ones.

This is the same exact thing that the law enforcement community wants to do to sick and disabled people here in New Hampshire.  You know, part of “Protecting and Serving.”

All the hard work done to lobby the legislature to have common sense Marijuana policy would have easily passed if it were not for all the “Protecting and Serving” the police chiefs and Attorney General spew to the legislature.

Can’t we just leave people who are sick and disabled the hell alone?
