This morning I had a candid phone interview with my brother Ademo Freeman, Founder of CopBlock.org, who was found guilty of “wiretapping” public employees at work. In the interview, he reveals some insights from his experiences on the inside of Manchester’s Valley Street Jail. Learn more about his case at CopBlock.org/FreeAdemo
I was released from HCDOC, aka Valley Street Jail, at 5 am this morning. It was in a rush to avoid, IMO, a documentary crew who wanted to film me. Either way its nice to be free(r) and I wanted to thank everyone who supported me while I was in a cage. Thanks again.

Though his period in a cell is over, appeals are still moving forward to reverse the baseless ‘wiretapping’ felony convictions.
I am grateful to have been on as a guest on WKBK’s “Talkback” with Cynthia Georgina and Mitch Greenwald this past weekend for about fifteen minutes, where I answered Cynthia’s questions, took a couple of phone calls, and had the chance to advocate for voluntarism and secession. She had me on since I am a candidate on the ballot this year for state rep in Keene. You can grab the archive here.
A couple of weeks prior I had called in to announce my candidacy for state rep in Keene and also comment on the hosts suggesting they would consider a ban on profanity in Keene. Here’s that archive.
Published yesterday in the Union Leader is another article speculating as to the reasons for MaryEllen McGorry’s suspension. She is at the moment still receiving pay, though the article implies that she may be terminated from her position. Her secretary was also suspended the following week.
West principal’s paid suspension remains a mystery, fueling speculation
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
MANCHESTER — A veteran school board member said that the paid suspension of Manchester High School West Principal MaryEllen McGorry signals that the allegations against her are serious and her termination is possible.
David Gelinas, the vice chairman of the Board of School Committee, said he does not know the reason for McGorry’s suspension, which took place last week.
“It would have to be serious enough or believable enough for a superintendent to suspend someone with pay,” Gelinas said. (more…)
On Thursday MaryEllen McGorry was suspended from her duties as the principal of Manchester High School West. Now the Union Leader is reporting that her secretary, Denise Michael, has also been suspended and is under investigation. That is all the information that school superintendent Tom Brennan is willing to release to the public at the moment, according to the UL:
MANCHESTER — The secretary of suspended Manchester High School West principal MaryEllen McGorry has been placed on administrative leave, Superintendent Tom Brennan said.
Denise Michael will be on paid leave until an investigation is completed, Brennan said.
He would not give reasons nor say whether the suspension has anything to do with McGorry’s suspension, which took place last week.
Brennan said Julie Moore of Employment Practices Group is handling the investigation into the McGorry matter. Her rate is $250 an hour. (more…)
A New Hampshire woman with a federal civil rights lawsuit against Loudon police has settled with the officers involved on the day prior to the scheduled trial. Jessica Dennis had filed the suit in June of 2011, in relation to an incident that had happened to her while she was being arrested in July of 2009. Dennis was in woods near a house party that police were breaking up when she was attacked by a police canine. She sustained injuries from the attack, and after police had pulled the dog off of her, she was taken into custody for suspicion of underage drinking. Reports also indicate that the police immaturely insulted and ridiculed her throughout the ordeal. She would be found guilty of nothing in state criminal court before filing the federal case alleging violations of her civil rights.
