Over 100 Occupy Keene’s Railroad & Central Squares

Today was a major activism day in Keene as over 100 gathered at Railroad Square and after a meeting walked down to Central Square. During the walk, traffic was blocked for a few minutes (a tactic with which I don’t agree).

The occupation began at 12:15pm and was still active late this afternoon. A hardcore contingent of activists seems committed to camping out on the ground that is supposedly “public”. Will the aggressors called “the city of Keene” make a move against the peaceful demonstrators on the first night? Only time will tell.

Stay tuned here for more, but for the latest, drop into the Occupy Keene facebook page and discussion group. (more…)

Free Keene Fest Photo in Keene Sentinel

FKFThe Keene Sentinel’s photographer Steve Hooper was at yesterday’s Free Keene Fest and this photo of his was published in today’s paper, with the following caption:

Jason Talley, left, of Grafton, talks with Jim Johnson of Winchester, who operates the “Answer Wheel” at the Free Keene Fest event on Railroad Square Sunday afternoon. Free Keene members, self-described liberty activists, put on the yard sale along with entertainment, as well as distributing informational fliers about their philosophy.

Interestingly, Free Keene Fest was described as a “yard sale”. I’m not sure if that is better or worse than “flea market”…
