It was one month ago when DrDavid Berman removed the feedback mechanisms from his popular youtube video Free Keene Knuckleheads Confronted. Some time recently, the video itself became privatized, making it inaccessible for viewing to the general public. You can see multiple shots taken from Dr. Dave’s perspective in the AKPF episode Dr. David Joins Aqua Keene Parking Force, including audio ripped from the original. Since the video’s debut, Robin Hood of Keene and his Merry Men (of which this author is an active participant) have received a number of apologies and expressions of support from individuals identifying as Christian who believed that the doctor’s actions in the video did not represent their faith well.
While Dr. Dave’s approach was unnecessarily confrontational, I do appreciate that he took the initiative to express himself on video for public dissemination. There are many who never express themselves. Robin Hood and the Merry Men welcome third party videographers to record our actions, and we encourage them to disseminate as much of their footage to the public as possible. The original video description of the Knuckleheads video read:
I’m Confronting these idiots because they are constantly following meter maids around with cameras trying to intimidate them and make their work life miserable. They are acting like little babies because I am calling them names like Jerks and knuckleheads. Aww…did I hurt your feelings? They and those who defend them are just that.
In the sixth installment of Aqua Keene Parking Force, Fred Parsells opens up about his perspective on Keene’s local liberty activism scene. Denying his own statist tendencies, he even dubs himself the ‘original free stater’ after beginning the conversation with “…why you guys are so stupid?” See the exciting conclusion to the cliffhanger ending from Episode 5.
You’re not even from Keene, but now that you’ve moved to Keene…You’re from elsewhere. You’re not native-born. Well, I don’t know, but you’re not from Keene, that’s the point. But yet you’ve come here, and you’re trying to, to tell people in Keene, you know, we did away with meters back in the mid eighties. No, no, that was something, I’m talking in the mid eighties — you probably weren’t even alive then.
The ranks of allies of the Aqua Keene Parking Force continue to swell, as Keene housing inspector Fred Parsells is the most recent recruit of the elusive organization. He spent a good portion of Friday afternoon watering chalkings along Main Street as Robin Hood’s Merry Men filled parking meters to keep civilians safe from the King’s tariff. The forces of free speech won out in the end as Fred eventually retreated, allowing the curbs to be colorfully overtaken. Stay tuned for the continuation of this exciting development in the soon to be released AKPF Episode 6. Episode 5, Aqua Keene PF Recruits Freddie P is embedded below.
In the fourth episode of Aqua Keene Parking Force, the squad tackles the issue of environmental friendliness, both in toilet water consumption and pedestrian/vehicular relations relating to petroleum use. Check out the series that has been reviewed throughout downtown Keene as number one in the hood.
Retired KPD Captain Peter “Sturdy” Thomas is back on the streets of Keene, this time armed with a video camera. He attempts to give unconstitutional orders to Robin Hooders.:
Republican state rep Neal Kurk’s “A-” liberty rating (as per the NH Liberty Alliance) should take a tumble this year with his awful “anti-drone” legislation that threatens all people with criminal charges for photographing houses from the sky. This would restrict anyone, private or government, from flying a camera-equipped drone or even taking photos by satellite, which would mean he’s even targeting Google Maps!
Kurk’s proposed legislation doesn’t even address drones with guns – only photography!
His behavior on-camera is as ridiculous as his legislation as he covers his face and escapes from Dave Ridley‘s questions:
