“A civil conspiracy is a combination of two or more persons by concerted action to accomplish an unlawful purpose, or to accomplish some purpose not in itself unlawful by unlawful means.”
What were the unlawful purposes or means? They claim in the amended petition that the unlawful purpose was to cause “tortious interference” with the city’s employment contracts with the Parking Enforcement Officers.
But, the city already admitted in their initial following that they could not use the existing laws against the Robin Hooders – acknowledging that nothing we have done and are doing is illegal. So is our behavior unlawful or not? They can’t seem to decide. Not like the private attorneys care – they just want more billable hours to the city, which will of course be paid by taxpayers.
Essentially their argument is that basic constitutional activity, (speaking to and recording bureaucrats), should be banned because some employee’s feelings might get hurt.
Here’s what our heroic, pro-bono, free-speech-loving attorney Jon Meyer has to say to that nonsense: One day before the city’s filing, Jon filed his masterful response to their “Memorandum of Law“. In his response, Meyer tears up the city attorneys’ memo, standing on constitutional grounds as well as case law. He cites the First Amendment of the US constitution as well as Articles 8 and 22 of the NH constitution as well as various cases including Schenck, where the US Supreme Court found floating buffer zones, like the city wants on their parking enforcers, as unconstitutional. It’s worth a read.
Stay tuned here to Free Keene for the latest on the Robin Hood saga. Meanwhile, on the streets of Keene, Robin Hooding continues unabated, while the city has pulled 1/3 of their enforcers off the street. Alan Givetz is apparently on desk duty and has been for weeks.
Earlier today, the defense team headed by David Coombs to represent Bradley Manning rested after a presentation of nine witnesses from forty-six originally nominated. Some of the trial proceedings were held in secret during the government’s interrogatories. Bradley Manning will not be taking the stand in his defense. Al-Jazeera English has the story on the latest from the trial scheduled to conclude August 23, in addition to more detailed reports from the Bradley Manning Support Network.
Debuting for the masses the propaganda hitpiece of unintelligible video produced by the CoK staff, AKPF #1 episode 08 Dolus opens with a global news update before delving into the ridiculous media production attempt of the local reigning royalty. The program is rounded out by wonderful original videos from the 2013 Porcupine Freedom Festival held annually in Lancaster, New Hampshire. Speakers included renowned anarchist author David Friedman, courageous police accountability activist Antonio Buehler, and compassionately insightful author Mary Ruwart. Numerous allied comrades of many admirable causes converge, coalesce, and codify. In the end, Peter ‘Sturdy’ Thomas becomes a rejuvenescent participant in AKPF antics.

NH Secret Police vehicle, captained by trooper Joseph DiRusso
One week after having my property stolen from me by a secretive enforcer for the New Hampshire state police, I have written a letter which I have submitted to Larry Kane, the clerk of court for the Keene district. I entertained the idea of writing to the judge in this case, but ultimately decided to address the clerk of court. Not being charged with a crime, I cannot file a motion relative to a charge, so I instead exercised my free speech and relayed my issues and requests to the court’s president of paper.
Dear Mr. Kane,
I, Garret Ean, am a member of the Keene, New Hampshire community. On the morning of June 26, I was bicycling in my neighborhood when I was approached by two men claiming to be acting under judge Edward Burke’s authority. One of them handed me paperwork before penetrating my pants pockets with his bare hands, looking for all sorts of items to deprive me of, ultimately settling on confiscating only my valuable videocamera.
When I was free of the undesired captivity of the two strangers, I searched to find out why it was that my property was taken, and why such a warrant exists. As I flipped through the documents, I discovered that at least one attachment cited in the partial search warrant was missing. Specifically missing was the explanation of what constituted probable cause to violate my state and federal constitutional, as well as human rights. (more…)
Now, Meyer has made the time in his busy schedule for the Robin Hood of Keene case where the people calling themselves “the city” are suing several Robin Hooders in hopes of creating a 50ft anti-freedom radius around the meter maids. Meyer filed his appearance today in Cheshire superior court on behalf of five of the six defendants, with Copblock.org‘s Pete Eyre deciding not to opt-in to having an attorney.
To be clear, Meyer is donating his valuable time to the cause, pro-bono, and is up against the city people’s hired gun (paid by your tax dollars) private attorneys, including renown civil rights attorney Charles P. Bauer. Bauer and his partner Eric Moskowitz have filed this “Memorandum of Law” on the constitutional issues in the case, as the judge requested. I’ll post Jon Meyer’s memorandum when it is ready, likely in a couple of weeks, as he just signed on to the case.
They just don’t know when to quit. They only know how to escalate. In a motion to amend the city’s original filed petition in the Robin Hood case, the city’s hired-gun (at who knows what cost to taxpayers) private attorneys have asked the judge to accept new language alleging that Robin Hooders are engaging in a “civil conspiracy” against the city and their parking enforcers.
Here’s what our heroic, pro-bono, free-speech-loving attorney Jon Meyer has to say to that nonsense: One day before the city’s filing, Jon filed his masterful response to their “Memorandum of Law“.
