A few days ago, some friends and I were clearing brush on my property in Grafton, preparing to building a house, and we were burning some small stuff to make a fire to cook hot dogs on. Suddenly, thugs appeared and threatened us with violence if we didn’t put our fire out. We politely refused to comply with their threats, and more thugs came, and eventually the fire chief of Grafton, John Babiarz, who is a self-proclaimed libertarian (he’s apparently the libertarian party’s current gubernatorial candidate for NH), brought a fire truck and put out my camp fire. This may sound ridiculous, but it looks even more ridiculous. Check out the video.
Keene’s Central Square was empty yesterday as the daily 420 celebrations have been moved to the beautiful Ashuelot park at West and Island St!
Celebration spokesman Rich Paul wouldn’t cite reasons for the venue change and encouraged readers to decide for themselves. Celebrants cleaning up some garbage in the park noticed the city’s cans were nearly overflowing! This has been a problem at other city parks in the past and is more proof that the violent monopoly can’t even handle the garbage. It would seem likely that the city’s janitors don’t work weekends and holidays, which are the times they are needed most!
Topless Tuesdays continues in Keene, led by a heroic young lady Keeniac who is consistently out week after week, proudly displaying her natural form alongside well over a dozen topless men. Now a local busybody has written a letter to the Sentinel demanding violence be enacted against women who choose to act free:
I recently read a story reported by The Keene Sentinel of the 18-year-old female, a self-proclaimed “Free Stater,” who paraded topless around downtown Keene this past August.
I don’t have any kids but I was outraged (as were the parents of children who reported seeing this spectacle) that the charges of lewd behavior and indecent exposure against the woman who was arrested were dropped. (more…)
This morning, activists gathered for a grand jury outreach event at the Cheshire superior court. The last time we had a confrontation by the armed men was the very first week almost two years ago where they merely asked what we were there doing. Now, all of a sudden, they have decided to threaten us over, of all things, opening the door for the people entering the building! First a grumpy white-haired female bailiff came out and demanded we stop opening the door for people. When we indicated we had no intention of stopping, she said she’d get the sheriffs. I didn’t have enough time to get my QIK.com broadcasting for this encounter, but I certainly had it ready for when four uniformed armed men came out and did their best to try to intimidate us. More video from another angle to come, but for now, here’s the raw video as originally broadcast at QIK.com. According to the costumed men, it is apparently disorderly conduct and impeding traffic when we hold open the door. Clearly we should have known we were in the people’s way when they smile at us and thank us for getting the door for them! Needless to say, we continued to open the door for folks, despite the threats. Visit the Free Keene Forum for more info on regular jury outreach and grand jury outreach.
And here they come.
