A recent sentinel article outlines the basics of new proposed city ordinances to penalize property owners for such offenses such as “Letting an intoxicated person leave unaccompanied”, “Disorderly Conduct”, “Overcrowding” or more obscure offenses.
Landlords of numerous Keene properties say a proposed measure designed to curtail disorderly behavior in city neighborhoods would punish them unfairly rather than hold problematic tenants directly responsible.
Residents, meanwhile, say they want their neighborhoods cleaned up of drug and alcohol use, loud noise and cars parked on lawns, problems they say are getting worse.
City councilors, looking for the best solution, listened to both parties before deciding they needed to hear more.
The Keene City Council’s planning, licenses and development committee voted unanimously Wednesday night to recommend Mayor Philip Dale Pregent call a public hearing so that city staff and councilors may continue to prepare and refine the ordinance before ultimately voting on it.
The courageous Andrew Carroll announced earlier this week that he will be possessing marijuana in Downtown Keene this January 10th. Here is the Ridley Report‘s interview with Andrew:
Liberty activists called WKBK’s Talkback on Saturday 12/06/08 and discussed monopoly, drug decriminalization, “the law”, and bicycle laws. As I’m now including the relevant anti-freedom callers in the archives, you won’t want to miss the statist authoritarian caller who claims marijuana destroyed San Francisco!
The unfortunate fact is, the authoritarians are still the bulk of call load on this show. We could really use your help! Please join us in calling the program with a pro-liberty viewpoint. Get details and discuss on this Free Keene forum thread.

It all started with a simple question. What can one person do to spread the message of Liberty? After 8 months, 3100 miles and 7 pairs of shoes Will Buchanan has found the answer. Will started the Walk for Liberty on April 14 from Cannon Beach, Oregon and will be crossing his last state line into New Hampshire Saturday Dec. 13th. The Walk for Liberty is a quest to let as many people as possible know about the loss of freedoms in the United States of America .
Each day Will has made a video of his trip. These videos are available on his blog at http://walkforliberty.com. If you want a primer on libertarianism and its interaction with the real world, watch these videos. As an added bonus, you can enjoy the stunning scenery – America on foot. (more…)

DRUG LAW PROTEST
Young Man to Possess Marijuana as a Protest Against Current Drug Laws
KEENE, NEW HAMPSHIRE – A young, 18 year old man will purposefully possess marijuana to incite his own arrest. At 1:00 PM on January 10, at 82 Main Street in Keene, New Hampshire, J. Andrew Carroll will illegally be in possession of marijuana as a protest against the drug laws of the country.
Echoing the thoughts of other liberty-loving people, Carroll says, “The drug war is an unconstitutional and inhumane breach of individual liberties which claims many victims, and dollars, each year.” Carroll claims he wants to “demonstrate the absurdity of putting a human being in jail for a crime with no victim.” He says the point is further demonstrated by the fact that he does not, personally, smoke marijuana, and only intends to possess it.
