The following is a press release regarding a information distribution Tommy Mozingo and I will be partaking in at Plymouth State University on 12/09/11. The intent of the information distribution is to call attention to the illegal regulations that the University System of New Hampshire has enacted to restrict self-defense rights by both students and public members.
From Fr33Agents:
A young activist named Amanda left a message on a Porcupine411 that she was uncomfortable about the presence of a police officer who said he was investigating something in her vicinity. She was apparently arrested for not producing identification when ordered. For the most up-to-date information about the incident, visit the group TalleyTV created on Fr33Agents:

Amanda was recently made famous by FreeKeeneTV who covered her recent activism: collecting and delivering Thanksgiving dinners to needy individuals in her community. She is peaceful and does not belong in a cage.
As you know if you’ve been reading here, the Shire Choir has been performing anti-drug-war carols written to the tunes of classic Christmas songs by wordsmith Richard Onley.
Most recently we have been performing at the state monopoly liquor stores. Those performances will continue, so stay tuned for more about them.
I wanted to share with you the song sheets we’ll be handing out at future performances. Feel free to print them out and form your own Shire Choir, wherever you are:
Robin Hood and her Merry Men have returned to Free Keene! You already know about Robin Hood if, while parked in downtown Keene, you returned to find a note from Robin or one of the Merry Men. The note kindly informed you that you had been rescued from one of the Crown’s parking tickets. You can see the full note on the Robin Hood page.
You can also visit from anywhere via RobinHood.FreeKeene.com or just look under the Shire tab in the top menu, on the right, here on the blog.
It’s good to have Robin and crew back in the community, especially as the Crown is preparing to test a new, even worse-than-ever parking meter scheme.
In our society, people between the ages of 18 and 21 are treated as second class citizens. On one hand, 18-20 year old adults are told that when they turn 18 they are adult enough to be forced to fight and die for the whims of politicians at the convenience of the Selective Service System. On the other hand, they are told that they essentially are stupid children who lack the ability to make responsible choices regarding when to consume alcohol. The irony of the latter is that when they do choose to consume alcohol in contravention of the law, they are punished as an adult, in adult court, for something that they have previously been deemed too childish to partake in.
Being between 18-20 years of age is also where most people embark on their higher education experience. Going to a college or university can be both fun, empowering of a bright future, and unfortunately, dangerous. As we who blog around here believe in individual responsibility, I believe that college students are adults whose liberty and freedom should be respected in such a manner so that they have both the natural and legal right to defend themselves on-campus or in their dorm if they were violently attacked.
Unfortunately for students and visitors of facilities of The University System of New Hampshire, there are rules that un-elected bureaucrats have handed down which purport that one cannot possess otherwise completely legal defensive weapons without facing severe consequences.
In my personal opinion, the rules that claim students and visitors at higher educational institutions like Keene State College, UNH-Durham, UNH-Manchester, Granite State College, and Plymouth State College cannot possess an otherwise legal knife or firearm are illegal, unenforceable, and contrary to established public policy.
Please allow me to make a case to you as to why.
Arrested with seven other liberty activists for chalking at the police station in Manchester, FreeConcord.org’s Garret Ean refuses to take the plea deal and goes to trial. Read a detailed analysis of the trial from Free Manch. Here’s the raw footage:
And here’s a post-trial interview by Pete Eyre of CopBlock.org who wore his hat through the entire trial, including when he was called to the witness stand!: (more…)
