Andrew Carroll was arrested today for possession of marijuana. More, better footage to come, but here is a capture of the live stream provided by Free Keene’s Nick “coconut” Ryder. Thanks to Jermaine Justice for posting and editing it:
Liberty activists called WKBK’s Talkback on Saturday and discussed education funding, power company monopoly, deregulation, and the real parasite.
The unfortunate fact is, the authoritarians are still the bulk of call load on this show. We could really use your help! Please join us in calling the program with a pro-liberty viewpoint. Get details and discuss on this Free Keene forum thread.
The courageous Andrew Carroll announced earlier this week that he will be possessing marijuana in Downtown Keene this January 10th. Here is the Ridley Report‘s interview with Andrew:

It all started with a simple question. What can one person do to spread the message of Liberty? After 8 months, 3100 miles and 7 pairs of shoes Will Buchanan has found the answer. Will started the Walk for Liberty on April 14 from Cannon Beach, Oregon and will be crossing his last state line into New Hampshire Saturday Dec. 13th. The Walk for Liberty is a quest to let as many people as possible know about the loss of freedoms in the United States of America .
Each day Will has made a video of his trip. These videos are available on his blog at http://walkforliberty.com. If you want a primer on libertarianism and its interaction with the real world, watch these videos. As an added bonus, you can enjoy the stunning scenery – America on foot. (more…)
