In an order from the Supreme Court, the city has been put on the ropes in their attempt to appeal their loss in the smoke alarm case. In short, they jumped the gun and didn’t follow their own rules – AGAIN.
“Justice” Lynn’s order cites NH RSA 606:10,V that requires all the tentacles of the state to get permission from the Attorney General’s office to file an appeal: (more…)

The BEARCAT issue in Concord festers further as the city council prepares for another hearing on the matter next Monday at 7:00pm. Today the Ridley Report published excerpts from a school board hearing which resulted in a decision by the ultimate propagators of all things ‘for the children’ — the Concord school board — to neither recommend nor block the acquisition of the federal government’s Ballistic Engineered Armored Response Counter Attack Truck. Ridley’s update includes B-roll footage from recent uploads to Fr33manTVraw as well as James Cleaveland’s LightSpeedLiberty channel. An update in last Thursday’s Keene Sentinel republished a Monitor article covering the board meeting and decision.

Liberty activists, led by Free State Project participants, recently gathered in Concord over the weekend to go door-to-door asking for petition signatures opposing the proposed BEARCAT, the armored “attack truck” the police are currently drooling over.

Here’s the full press conference video, thanks to Biker Bill:
A somewhat surprising editorial piece from the Keene Sentinel opposes the Concord BEARCAT:
We’ve been watching with interest a pitched battle playing out in Concord in recent weeks. In that city, police are hoping to use $258,000 in federal Homeland Security money to procure an armored vehicle, a purchase that’s raised eyebrows and voices.
It’s a fight that feels familiar here in the Elm City, where city councilors accepted a similar grant in 2011 to buy a Lenco BearCat Special Mission Public Safety Vehicle (though for $285,000 — did we miss a sale?) (more…)
