Concord police will be receiving a Ballistic Engineered Armored Response Counter Attack Truck, after an 11-4 vote by the full city council in favor of accepting the military-style vehicle funded by a Department of Homeland Security grant to the Lenco corporation. The fire chief closed the building to many attendees, calling capacity at a reported 70 guests. Drum circles, light shows, sign waving, videography, and socializing occurred in the courtyard outside of the council meeting location on Green Street. Media from around the state observed proceedings both inside and outside of the chambers. Dave Ridley has already posted an ambush interview of Concord police chief John Duval to his youtube channel, in which he asks the top cop if he expected anyone beyond DHS bureaucracy to read his grant application.

Tony Schinella’s article at Concord Patch includes quotes from city councilors on both sides the issue, who were reportedly offered copies of Radley Balko’s Rise of the Warrior Cop while they were considering their decision.

We’ve only got about a quarter-year until the first Keenevention, November 1st-3rd! The initial schedule has been laid out. You can see that at the bottom of the Schedule and Speakers page on Keenevention.info. (It is subject to change.)
Keenevention 2013 is happening November 1st-3rd at the Best Western Sovereign Hotel and now the earlybird ticket price has been extended! It’s just $35 for the whole weekend and that price is now good through August 1st.
You’ve seen the videos. Now you can join up with Robin Hood and the Merry Men and Women and help rescue the motorists of Keene from the King’s men and their ransom!
Friday and Saturday shifts will be available all day for you to plug in to the most successful form of activism and outreach in Keene to date. Hit the streets with a roll of coins and cards and do some good for the community! As a bonus, you get to have fun as you deny the local government gang the hard-earned dollars of the good people of Keene by preventing parking tickets from being issued! You’ll also experience the value of being able to do liberty activism in groups – the reason why the Free State Project is the key to liberty in our lifetime.
Want to check out Keene, NH this fall and meet other liberty activists? Come to Keenevention 2013, now an event on Facebook. Feel free to invite your liberty-loving friends.
