Tag along with Keene activists as we visit the Keene City Clerk’s office to request some documents related to my upcoming trial. Watch the city clerk defy the statues when she clearly says lawsuit records are not filed or available for my inspection. According to the statutory requirements she mentions the records, shall be kept on file and made available for inspection. Given that she admitted to violating 91-A:4 (VI), will the police issue her a ticket as they would if you violated a statute? Is the city attempting to impede my lawsuit?
643:1 Official Oppression. – A public servant . . .
Keene, 07/12/09 – With the arrest and imprisoning of freedom to travel activist Kurt Hoffman on the same day video-journalist Dave Ridley was released from Cheshire jail, the agents of the violent monopoly called the “State of New Hampshire” have spent nearly $6,000 stolen dollars on jailing peaceful activists. As it costs over $30,000 per year to imprison someone in NH, that’s at least $82 per day. Combining the jail terms for Sam Dodson, Andrew Carroll, and Dave Ridley brings us to 73 days this year-to-date. Each day Kurt is in will be another on the counter, and another $82.
Of course, at any given time the Cheshire jail contains a varying number of people who, while not activists, are also peaceful political prisoners of the insane War on Drugs as well as the traffic revenue and obedience system. (more…)
At around 5:20pm Dave Ridley was relased from Cheshire County Correctional Facility to a crowd of liberty activists in the midst of a cook out. The activists numbered around 40.
Activists are currently converging on Keene Police Department to check on the status of Kurt Hoffman. He was arrested today near Roxbury for failure to produce a vehicle registration, and he broadcast his ride from there live over Porc411. During the entire trip he is heard asking the officer to adjust his handcuffs so his wrists will stop hurting. The officer ignores repeated requests for such relief.
Listen to Kurt’s Pleas to the Officer
Update 07-12-09 16:00: Kurt is in transport to the jail. So it will coincide with Dave Ridley’s release. Activist are en-route to the Cheshire County Complex
Update 07-12-09 22:55: Kurt is being held overnight in the Cheshire County Jail. He is reportedly on $2500 cash bond on a charge of disobeying a police officer. Activists will be arriving at Keene District Court tomorrow morning to gather more information.
More updates will likely be posted, with video, in the coming hours and days.
Launched on December 26, 2006 and based out of Keene, New Hampshire, Free Keene has become more than just a website. Originally a blog and Youtube channel with a handful of features, Free Keene has become a haven for liberty activists. Fast becoming a media hub, Free Keene has tendrils in radio, TV and newspaper while still seeing steady growth in the digital sector with the addition of a forum in mid 2008. Activists like Sam Dodson, Ian Freeman and Andrew Carroll have created a beacon drawing more and more liberty lovers to the Elm city.
Journalist Dave Ridley will be released at 5pm tomorrow (or so we’re told), so I imagine most activists will gather at the Cheshire Jail, 160 River Road, Westmoreland, NH 03467 prior to 5pm (probably starting as of 4pm). There may be a BBQ. Here’s footage of him turning himself in, and of the pre-imprisoning picnic on Monday:
