Apparently on his own volition (after reading the arrest reports from KPD), Ed Burke, judge of Keene district court has reduced Derrick J’s bail to $500 and house arrest. Activists put up a fundraiser on WePay last night, and this morning it had raised well over the total amount!

Derrick J Freeman was assaulted by Fintan Moore.
The video below shows background, the incident and the follow-up, of the exchange. It was completed thanks to the collaboration of many of Derrick’s friends and the editing talents of Beau Davis.
The Keene police officer who brutally assaulted Derrick J. Freeman earlier this afternoon is named Fintan Moore. He lives at 12 Orchard Streethere in Keene, NH and his home number is (603) 352-7195.
If a woman answers, it may be Fintan’s wife Maureen. Be sure to tell her exactly what her husband did while at work today.
Fintan, a longtime New England resident, previously lived in Oxford, MA before moving to Keene in 1999. His brother Rory Moore and sister-in-law Lisa live in Sterling, his brother Kieran Moore and sister-in-law Marianne live in Marlborough as do his sister Maeve Allen and his brother-in-law Tom. His son, Fintan Moore III, is in the Navy Reserve and also lives in Keene.
If you know any of these people, please be sure to show them the video in the post below and ask them to talk to Fintan about his inappropriate and hurtful actions.
I forgive you, Fintan, and I am not angry at you. I only want you to think about your actions and I genuinely hope you stop hurting peaceful people. God bless.
Abdulelah Haider Shaye is a name most in the western world aren’t familiar with, and Barack Obama would like to keep it that way. Shaye is a Yemeni independent journalist who was covering the impact of military activities in Yemen. He was daring enough to interview some of the most wanted men in the world. Anwar Al-Awlaki met for an interview with Shaye which later broadcast on Al-Jazeera, prior to it becoming known that Awlaki was the first US citizen added to a CIA kill list. In the same month that the interview was aired, Shaye took the initiative to investigate a missile attack claimed by the Yemeni government to have been orchestrated by their military. It was December of 2009 when the village of Majala was targeted as the alleged site of an Al-Qaeda training camp. After the bombing, Shaye traveled to the area and took the pictures which were broadcast by news media around the globe. His report revealed remnants of tomahawk cruise missiles and cluster bombs. Neither of these weapons being in the Yemeni national arsenal, the Made in the USA stamp emblazoned on the debris revealed the true source of the attack. The pentagon refused to comment on the photos and Yemeni officials denied all involvement by the US government. Wikileaks later published a US diplomatic cable which documented Yemeni officials admitting to lying to their parliament about US military coordination. Fourteen women and twenty-one children were killed in the strike (the number of males killed is not known, and assuredly all are automatically assumed to be Al-Qaeda terrorists). The Majala bombing was the first of what would be an ongoing deadly string of aerial assaults by the US military in association with Yemeni state militants. (more…)
