My timing sucks but I’ve been wanting to make a comic for some time about the federal government’s reverse Midas touch as it applies to disaster relief in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I’m not sure when a good time will present itself so here it is.

Nationally syndicated radio talk show host Ian Freeman will spend 100 days in jail because he questioned the legitimacy of a system which would penalize him for having a couch in his yard and conduct his trial in secret.
**preliminary report**
Active FreeKeene blogger Ian Freeman today helped the Keene District Court prove that it is ready to crack down on non-violent peaceful people today. At least 6 officers of various rank were present in court to try and outnumber the liberty activists. Judge Burke was obviously ready to order Ian’s arrest, and did so less than 45 seconds after entering the courtroom. Ian was then taken to a second room where his supporters could not go with him. He was viewed on closed circuit TV as he continued to question the system and not consent, and drew two further contempt of court charges, all three for 30 days in jail.

The people calling themselves the “city” claim that there is a complainant who lives down the street, however this person allegedly refuses to meet me and talk to me like an adult. Instead, the alleged neighbor calls the Blue Light Gang to try to intimidate me into disposing of the couch. (more…)
Free Minds TV‘s director, Lauren Canario was arrested by the feds last year for walking down a public road. They stole her camera and she finally got it back a year later. The video she recorded of her arrest was still intact. The Ridley Report presents the footage:
