UPDATE from the Manch mass arrests: “Criminal Trespass” is the charge of the night, and as has happened in Keene, activists arrested in Manchester are being told to not return to Veterans’ or Victory parks via a no trespassing threat. The kidnapping victims are refusing to take the gang’s “plea deal” and are going to trial.

The Occupy Keene campout, which had grown from one tent the first night, to two last night was targeted by Keene police. Campers were threatened with a violation of city ordinance if they did not leave, which they decided to do. What will happen next? Stay tuned here to find out, or better yet, drop into the Occupy Keene facebook page and discussion group.
Plus, watch “Free Keene TV” tonight to see a live interview with one of the Occupy Keene campers, Craig, at 7pm on Cheshire TV – channel 8 on Time Warner in the Keene area and online via Ustream here.

Today was a major activism day in Keene as over 100 gathered at Railroad Square and after a meeting walked down to Central Square. During the walk, traffic was blocked for a few minutes (a tactic with which I don’t agree).
The occupation began at 12:15pm and was still active late this afternoon. A hardcore contingent of activists seems committed to camping out on the ground that is supposedly “public”. Will the aggressors called “the city of Keene” make a move against the peaceful demonstrators on the first night? Only time will tell.
Stay tuned here for more, but for the latest, drop into the Occupy Keene facebook page and discussion group. (more…)
