Last night, former Keeniac and publisher of the New Hampshire Free Press, Russell Kanning was kidnapped by armed men in Lebanon. Tonight, activist Jim Johnson was arrested at his home by staties allegedly on a “disorderly conduct” charge from Nashua. How many times has ANYONE been arrested weeks later for “disorderly conduct”? That’s normally a catch-all they bust you with on the spot during an encounter. He is being held in Westmoreland jail with Russell at least until an arraignment on Monday.
Not only that, but there is also an arrest warrant out for Jim’s wife, heroic civil disobedience superactivist Lauren Canario. Presumably for the same “offense”. Jim and Lauren haven’t been in Nashua for weeks. The last time he was there was during the Nashua 420 crackdown. Considering there were dozens of activists there, should any who can be identified be concerned that an arrest warrant has been issued for them as well?
Below is a letter I wrote to Keene Policeman Peter “Sturdy” Thomas, about my camera and the armed men who showed up outside my house at 3am knowing I was in jail. I feel the actions of several Keene Police have devastated the integrity of the Keene Police as an organization, and I am posting this to ensure their interactions will at least be public, so you can see what they are doing with your money.
Yesterday I called Ken Meola, Keene Police Chief per John Mclean’s request. I have not heard back yet, and here is the audio. I was put on hold, then they picked up and started talking, then I was hung up on. I called back, got transferred to records, and then was sent to Ken’s voice mail. (This is who is protecting you in an emergency)
2009 NH Liberty Alliance Activist of the Year Keith Carlsen and some others went to accompany Free Keene’s David Krouse to the arraignment scheduled this morning regarding when he was arrested for courageously standing in front of a Nashua police undercover car as they attempted to kidnap a peaceful cannabis smoker. The activists were threatened multiple times by the state’s court thugs. Here’s the audio:
The trial for David is April 26th at 8:15am. It sounds like the Nashua court bureaucrats could use a large turnout of liberty-loving activists armed with cameras and audio recorders. These people have never experienced liberty activists prior to David and Keith, and the turnout at his arraignment was very small, as it was not really promoted. Let’s see a huge turnout for this heroic man’s trial! Here’s the forum discussion thread.
This story starts way back when Sam had been previously held captive by the Keene thugs in blue. While being held in jail for holding a camera in a public area, Sam’s license had apparently been suspended. Although Eli Rivera lied on the witness stand and said he had given the ‘defense’ all the information they had on Sam, there was nothing in the files Sam had received to make him aware that the Keene PD had knowledge of his license being suspended. So it was to his surprise when he was arrested for driving while under a suspension while leaving the very court room Rivera had just testified to the Keene PD not being aware of his suspension. During the trial for this “crime”, Sam noted multiple crimes being committed by the agents of the state (the judge, prosecutor, etc…); as well as, the judge made up several facts (like a name for Sam that he does not go by, and information about a license that has never been seen by anyone in the court except Sam). When he was found guilty, and ordered to pay $300, he refused. I assume it was on the grounds that he owes them nothing, and their justice system is too corrupt to determine crimes and punishments. As a result, he will be spending the next 6 days in the Cheshire County Corrections Facility.
