As announced on last night’s Free Talk Live, the Keene city prosecutor, Sgt. Eliezer Rivera has sent me threatening paperwork where he is requesting that Keene District Court force me into a hearing which could result in the suspended sentence I was given being revoked, thereby landing me back in jail for 90 days. Why? Apparently because I sent out Andrew Carroll’s press release in regards to this past Saturday’s marijuana protest, blogged about it, atttended, videotaped it, and because I had Andrew on Saturday night’s Free Talk Live.
So, because I engaged in freedom of speech, I’m now a criminal? How many others will they target over this? Free Minds TV, the NH Free Press, and NH Capitol Access were also “promoting” the event. What about the other attendees? Are they at risk as well? Does Rivera realize that in his attempts to intimidate NH’s liberty activist community, he will only create more peaceful disobedience and outrage?
Is he scaring you, or is he making you more determined to get active and if you’re not yet here in NH, to get here sooner?
Sam from the Obscured Truth Network is helping me work up a “Motion to Quash” this nonsense. Will post more later.
In an act of civil disobedience, Andrew Carroll, 18, of Manchester intentionally disobeyed drug laws by possessing a small amount of marijuana. Carroll objects to government abuses stemming from the drug war. He stated, “The drug war is an unconstitutional and inhumane breach of individual liberties which claims many victims, and dollars, each year.” Carroll claimed he wanted to “demonstrate the absurdity of putting a human being in jail for a crime with no victim. The point is further demonstrated by the fact that I do not, personally, smoke marijuana, and only intended to possess it.” Carroll was risking a possible year in jail, along with profound repercussions for future job availability, for his disobedience.
After announcing his intention to possess marijuana, Carroll arrived at Railroad Square in Keene with around 40 fellow activists. The event was planned for 1:00 on Jan. 10th. By 1:15, Carroll thought that the event was over without arrest, but then at 1:20, two Keene police officers arrived and arrested the nonviolent protester. All 40 activists followed the two officers and their victim to the police car, and then to the station. Carroll was charged with a Class B Misdemeanor and released. He is scheduled to appear in Keene District Court on March 3rd. He does not plan to pay any fines stemming from the arrest. (more…)
The videos are really starting to come out now. Here’s activist Mike Barskey’s two-parter followed by the Ridley Report, and NH Capitol Access‘ interview with Andrew Carroll, heroic marijuana protestor.
Andrew Carroll was arrested today for possession of marijuana. More, better footage to come, but here is a capture of the live stream provided by Free Keene’s Nick “coconut” Ryder. Thanks to Jermaine Justice for posting and editing it:
As you know if you’ve been reading this website for a while, the men and women calling themselves the “City of Keene” attacked me and my family because my tenants had a couch in their yard. I offered to move the couch if the complaining party (who was later revealed to be a city bureaucrat) would just come and talk to me like an adult, she refused, the government people continued to prosecute, and I continued to refuse to obey to see how far they would push it. It all culminated in their courtroom with me being thrown in jail on a sentence of 93 days – three days for the couch and 90 days on three charges of “contempt of court”. After a weekend in jail, I asked “Justice” Burke for mercy and was released with the stipulation that even though I had spent three days in jail I still somehow owe the $120 fine, or alternatively 10 hours of “community service”. Neither option was particularly attractive to me in that I’m certainly not interested in giving my money to the “STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE” and also do not have time for volunteering at the moment, so I made them a final offer. This was my opportunity to test how greedy the government people truly are. (more…)
