The Keene Sentinel reported on the City Council’s finance, organization and personnel committee meeting from Thursday, January 10.
Mitch Greenwald, who asked the council to consider requiring everyone to pass through a metal detector on the first floor prior to entering city meetings, said he did not have an opinion on whether the proposed step should be taken. “I’m not asking for this,” he said. “I wanted a discussion.”
Before allowing the public to speak, he set rules for the discussion that limited what could be mentioned. The Sentinel reported:
Members of Free Keene, a local libertarian group that oppose what it calls victimless crimes, such as public drinking and marijuana use, also weighed in on the issue Thursday night.
“It is fear-based,” said Ian Freeman, who hosts a local radio show called Free Talk Live. “It’s security theater.”
Freeman said anyone meaning serious harm to a city or court official would likely not be deterred by a metal detector, and could wait outside the building for the target to exit.

Cynthia Chase recently created a firestorm of controversy and publicity with her anti-Free-Stater comments. Today, to thank her for all the free media coverage, which naturally resulted in more new people signing up for the Free State Project, a small group of FSP participants put together a nice “thank you” card and flower bouquet that was delivered to her committee meeting in Concord today.
Unfortunately she was not in attendance, perhaps because she’s allegedly scared for her family’s safety for some reason. The flowers were left for her with the chairperson.
Menwhile, the publicity keeps rolling in. The Keene Sentinel ran a story today as did Blue Hampshire.

State Rep Cynthia Chase has refused to speak to WMUR, allegedly out of fear for her family’s safety. A ridiculous claim when liberty activists are those who support peace while it is politicians like Cynthia Chase who support aggressing against peaceful people.
Here’s the story from WMUR.
Plus more about the still-snowballing Cynthia Chase story from: The Patch and Foster’s Daily Democrat.

I just saw something this morning in my Facebook news-feed that made me smile:
The controlling party in the NH House of Representatives may be able to squelch a mandated committee, but when they do, The People will form their own.
That’s probably why Article 32 came immediately after Article 31.

A friend of mine, Amanda Bouldin, is among the 11 nominees. She posted on facebook that she believes Dr. Julianne Cooper, Co-Founder and President of Liberty Harbor Academy should win, but is honored to have received a large number of votes. At the time she posted, she was winning the poll with a few hundred votes.
Since then, a Police Officer, Dan Doherty, has received a large amount of support. This support likely came after another Officer from MPD sent out an email, which was reposted on Masscops.com, reads:
“IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM NHPA SERGEANT AT ARMS & MANCHESTER NH SERGEANT KEN CHAMBERLIN:
NHPA member Dan Doherty has been nominated for Manchester area Person of The Year. He is running against several people one being Amanda Bouldin. Amanda is a Free Stater. Yesterday when the Free Staters noticed Dan was ahead in the voting they posted on the Ron Paul website asking people to vote for Amanda so the cop would not win. Last night a MPD Officer was approached by Amanda Bouldin and asked him why should Officer Doherty get Person Of The Year “Just because he got shot”. She then asked the officer for his vote.
We can not allow a Free Stater to win this against a Police Officer who was SHOT in the line of duty and was almost killed. I am asking IMPLORING all of you if you have not voted to PLEASE vote, and if you have voted you can vote again. You can vote as many times as you want. Dan was leading last night now he is losing by a substantial margin. PLEASE put out an email to all your members at your agencies asking them to vote. Below is the like to vote on. It only takes about 5 seconds to vote.”
It seems that getting shot and being employed by a gang of thugs is reason enough to win “Person of the Year” instead of a woman who has created an organization which donates holiday meals to needy families.
One of these two people depends solely on stolen funds, harms peaceful people and was shot; the other person has honest employment that does not rely on stolen funds and helps people.
I honestly don’t care how this poll turns out, as most online polls are decided by which participant is able to “get out the vote.” That said, I’m a little disgusted by the tactics used by thye MPD in an effort to make sure a “boy in blue” gets an award, just because he was shot AND is not part of the Free State Project.

The former Governor may not have been a libertarian, but by putting his personal reputation and seal of approval on RSA 519:23-a, he gave the libertarian community in New Hampshire a huge win.
519:23-a – Right of Accused
In all criminal proceedings the court shall permit the defense to inform the jury of its right to judge the facts and the application of the law in relation to the facts in controversy.
History has shown that nullification has helped end chattel slavery, alcohol prohibition, and Jim Crow… and jury nullification is now the law-of-the-land in the Granite State.
Thank you for that one, Governor Lynch.
This blogger hopes you find a pleasantly lowered blood-pressure as you leave public office. 😎
