On WKBK yesterday morning, politician Bob Guida, who is running for “US Representative” was on with Al Kulas. As much as I wanted to ask him about his desire for a police state (“immigration” being his excuse), I decided to go with secession questions. Here’s the archive.
A FreeKeene.com reader/commenter has asked me the following question regarding the Shire Society Declaration:
BTW: How is that “Shire Society” document NOT just another Constitution-type, set of simple statutes? In other words, SAME THING, as the current system of (unjust)laws???
I is none constitutional scholar… but I’d say the vast difference is found in the second provision of the document:
“Second, no individual or association of individuals, however constituted, has the right to initiate force against any other individual;”

Two days ago I posted a blog which included a letter I sent to the Keene Police Chief regarding a question as to why his agency is not enforcing the state’s prohibition on activities during the Lord’s Day.
I’ve never met the fellow but from what I hear from fellow FreeKeene.com contributors he is indeed a very nice guy. I personally appreciate his responding to me so quickly regarding my questions.
This is what he had to say:

After hearing the head of the Keene Police Department assert that outlawed activities are not illegal during his interview on WKBK I’ve decided to e-mail the Chief and inquire with him publicly what his positions are on enforcing the law.
Kudos to FreeKeene.com’s Sam Dodson for mentioning the ridiculous law that the Keene Police apparently have decided to ignore. This ignoring of a law seems to fly in the face of the first provision of the Keene Police mission statement.
My letter to the Chief is below:
Ahhh the use of dogs in forever failed government “War on Drugs.” It seems that in Concord, NH a state police K9 got loose from it’s handler, ran across the street, viciously attacked another dog, and then viciously attacked the 13-year old girl/owner who was trying to protect her dog from being attacked:
“The girl, attempting to protect her dog, was bitten several times on her left arm and hand. (A NH State Police official) said the incident is under investigation by the department and that State Police have been in touch with the victim’s family.”
Clearly the state police will conduct a full, fair, and evenhanded investigation of themselves. Had this dog attack had been completely reversed in sequence and involved a dog charging the state trooper… I think we’d probably have another dead dog.
Find a police officer out in public and ask them what the 17th Amendment to the US Constitution is. After that, ask them about the 6th. Just for kicks, ask them how many rights the 1st Amendment restricts the government from infringing on.
I guarantee you that ninety percent (plus) of the police officers you ask wont know the answers. Why? Well, the police academy does not teach the entirety of the US Constitution or the NH Constitution. Doesn’t this seem like an important thing to teach the people who are the “boots on the ground” portion of the government?
I’ve attended both the New Hampshire full-time and part-time police academies and neither taught anything more about the US or NH constitutions other than the basics about searching and seizing. Were I able to re-attend the police academy I’d love to ask the instructors from the Attorney General’s office what my responsibility is to Part I, Article 10 of the New Hampshire Constitution. Clearly, these words on paper combined with my required oath to defend them mean something, don’t they?
Question: How can someone take an oath to uphold and defend something that they know almost nothing about?
(the oath to uphold it is almost as much of a joke as the law enforcement officer’s code of ethics is … nothing more than a PR trick.)
