Investigation into Homicide on Pearl Street

wheelockhouse1Late last evening, David E. Wheelock, a 48 year old resident of Pearl Street, was found dead with at least one gunshot wound in his home. An investigation into the homicide was being carried out today by New Hampshire state police with assistance of the Keene police. Pearl Street was closed to vehicular traffic between Meadow Road and West Street, and pedestrians were prohibited from crossing the area on foot surrounding the address. State police detectives entered and exited the scene with evidence that was analyzed in a mobile lab operated by the major crimes unit. With the killing believed to have occurred between 9:00 and 9:30pm on Saturday, investigators are requesting information regarding any happenings in the area around that time.

According to the facebook page New Hampshire’s Law Enforcement, the victim in this case was notably listed on the state’s sex offender registry due to a 28-count conviction in 2005 for charges of possession of child pornography. Demonstrating the dehumanizing effect placement on the list elicits from some individuals, a handful of morbid comments were posted to an announcement of the homicide on the facebook page, including one from a man named Joel which reads, “No sympathy. Good riddance.” Another from a woman named Jenny expresses, “I hope he died terribly.”

Initial reports of the incident appeared earlier today from the Keene Sentinel, CBS Boston, Fox Boston, NHPR, and the Union Leader. Video from the scene by Keene Peaceful Streets is available at their new youtube channel. (more…)

Shire Free Church Donates $1,431 to “City of Keene”

Yesterday, Darryl W. Perry and I went and paid a visit to the “City of Keene” building and cut them a check for valued services provided, but forbade them from using the money to aggress against peaceful people. Here is a video Darryl shot just after the check was delivered to “the City”:

Here’s the full text of the letter we delivered with a check for $1,431.21 and their property tax bill demanding $3,045.13:

To our neighbors calling themselves the “City of Keene”:

Greetings! This letter is in response to the letter sent to us on 2013-09-19 by Daniel J. Langille, “City Assessor”. In his letter, Mr. Langille references your society’s statutes (RSAs) and seems to suggest that they somehow apply to the Shire Free Church. The Shire Free Church is not part of your society. Your society is based on coercion, and as a peace church, we cannot be a part of a group that uses coercion against peaceful people. (more…)

Gov Hassan Presents Official New Hampshire Vodka

maggie_hassan01nhliquorNews came out yesterday following a press conference that the state of New Hampshire was sponsoring a special edition vodka in a decorate new bottle featuring the late Old Man of the Mountain. At 29.99usd, the maple-syrup bottlesque hard liquor was made available to state liquor dispensaries in Concord, but likely will not be arriving into the Cheshire county area until Friday. Profits attained from the drug sales will be directed towards repairing dilapidated flags of some historical value. Walking through the local liquor store in search of the bottle to document, I was amazed at how casually the state promotes and distributes the world’s most destructive drug. How long could it possibly be before a New Hampshire governor introduces an official state strain of cannabis to the public in celebration of the holiday season? The Nashua Telegraph captured some video from the parodist press conference. No mentions of liquor or drug-related issues facing New Hampshire are mentioned in many of the corporate news stories republishing the state’s alcohol marketing through the frame of selling “commemorative bottles”.

Amanda Billyrock Attains Celebrity Status, According to Hilarious Laconia Sun Article

billyrockMy favorite part is where they describe Derrick J Freeman as an “anchorman”, in this very amusing mainstream media “investigation” by the Laconia Sun into Amanda Billyrock’s recent arrest. It’s titled:

LACONIA — A self-proclaimed anarchist associated with the Free State Project spent Friday night in the Belknap County House of Corrections after refusing to cooperate with a police officer who stopped her after she allegedly ran a red light.

According to Laconia police logs, Amanda “Billyrock” Johnson, 27, of 105 Windsong Ave. in Manchester is charged with one count of disobeying an officer, one count of resisting arrest, one count of transporting alcoholic beverages (for allegedly having an open container containing alcohol in her car), driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and possession of controlled drugs.

Johnson allegedly refused to tell police her name or cooperate with the police.

For the next 12 hours, Internet sites associated with the Free State project and other libertarian causes buzzed with tales of Johnson’s “kidnapping” by the Laconia Police and subsequent “caging” at the Belknap County House of Corrections — where she was taken after she allegedly refused the services of a bail commissioner. Readers of the sites were urged to call the county jail in protest. (more…)
