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.
Thanks to Mother Jones magazine’s Tim Murphy for this excellent coverage of Keene liberty activism and the Free State Project. Though, the headline “GOP Heads to Porcupine Country” is quite inaccurate. Most people I know don’t give a whit about the GOP. Also, the poll statistics they present in the sidebar doesn’t describe the “libertarians” I know. Aside from those minor critiques, the article itself is very good. (more…)
Ian Freeman was released from the Cheshire County yesterday, a day early, and today at 2 pm a man – Fred Parsells, former Keene Police Det – claiming to represent the City of Keene came to Ian’s home with demands. The “city” seems to be upset that gravel, cars and MARV – an RV – are on Ian’s property. Something that was brought to the “cities” attention by a “city employee” who just so happens to live down the road.
Sad “the city” is targeting Ian. Just one day after being caged in ‘house of corrections’ the last 60 the “city” comes with more threats. They know Ian has 10 months of jail time hanging over his head. That if the RV – that came back to visit their recently released friend -, car or gravel aren’t removed than Ian could be charged, which would violate his good behavior clause and send him back to jail. Sad thing is it will cost the city alot more to cage Ian than it is to simply leave these issues alone.
Does the “city” have the right to tell you what you can park on your property? Can they tell you if you can or cannot have a driveway? Where is the line? What can’t the “city” tell you to do on your property?
