Self-immolationThe Boston Globe’s Mark Arsenault reports on the self-immolation of Thomas James Ball:

KEENE, N.H. – On a mid-June afternoon, an unemployed history buff from Holden, Mass. announced cryptically on his Facebook page that “D-Day’’ had arrived.

This video of Beau’s arrest for wearing a hat in court (charged with direct criminal contempt) and the subsequent “right of alocution” hearing shows some important things about the NH liberty movement today. Continue reading after the video for analysis:

Lastweek I was arrested for “improperly influencing” a ‘judge.’ Yesterday, I released this video showing everyone exactly what happend and today, the district attorney – Chris McLaughlin – non processed the charges. Above is an update I captured shortly after hearing the news.

For those that live in Keene and think Burke abused his power, or broke a law, please call Chris McLaughlin – 603.357.9815 or John Webb – 603.352.0056, tell them to press charges on Burke (for abuse of power, false arrest or any of the other laws anyone else would be arrested for).

Thanks again to all those who helped me while under arrest, in jail and afterwards on court papers.
