A large group of supporters gathered at the Keene Spiritual Retreat on Monday morning to welcome Derrick back to the semi-free world. Rather than go straight back to Keene and relax, Derrick decided to attend the “Free Fucking Speech” event put on by Adam Kokesh in Middleboro, MA – the town that has banned profanity. Here’s footage of the speakers at the event, which included Derrick J:

The parade route was up Washington St. to a gathering at the war memorial at the Rec Center. Many people were stationed along the route, and many of them were very happy to see pro-peace people – we got lots of waves and peace signs.
Of course, we got the inevitable angry war-mongers with their snide comments calling us “chicken” and making the ridiculous suggestion that it’s thanks to decades of killing people is why we are free to hold our signs. Others told us we were wrong for coming to a pro-war parade and that it was “inappropriate”. Here’s what I have to say to them:
