It was Friday night, and Keene Copblock was on the streets. While observing another scene I noticed what looked like an undercover unit drive down the street and turn onto Marlborough. I gave chase on my bicycle down to the Keene police station, where the officers were taking beer from the trunk of one undercover Impala and loading it into the backseat of another. I pulled out my camera and began recording. That’s where the video picks up. Thanks to Lightspeedliberty for editing the video and the other CopBlockers for their dedication and assistance in busting these aggressors:
It's just days before the real-life premiere and "Derrick J's Victimless Crime Spree" has exceeded 20,000 views on YouTube in just over a month since its release. The feature-length documentary was shot primarily in Keene, NH and chronicles the first year of Derrick J's activism here. The film is packed with exciting footage and insightful commentary. The YouTube statistics are a testament to the movie's popularity with viewers as it currently has 589 likes and only 31 dislikes!
The real-life premiere is happening this Saturday, 9/15 at 9:45am at Keene Cinemas. Admission is free and will be first-come-first-serve. After the movie there will be a Q&A with Derrick J, executive producer Ian Freeman and editor Beau Davis. We'll be giving away an exclusive, autographed movie poster to a lucky winner and following that, there will be a bring-your-own lunch at Ashuelot Park. Details on this Facebook event.
CONTEST TIME! Anyone who contributes $5 to our chip-in below will get a ticket entered in our raffle to win a Derrick J-autographed 24×36″ movie poster! ($10 contributions will get 3 raffle tickets, and any multiple of $10 will get 3 tickets per $10) Anyone who has already chipped-in prior to this announcement will also be included in the raffle. The movie poster is the one you see in this post and there are only five of them being produced. Three will go to the movie’s production team and the other two will be those raffled. Winners will be drawn on September 15th – one after the Q&A session at the premiere and the online winner sometime later in the day.
Please “sponsor a seat” at the premiere event and get an entry (or more than one to increase your odds of winning) now via this chip-in:
Last September, Derrick J Freeman held a dance party in Central Square. As many of you know, the party was quickly shut-down with the arrival of Keene PD. This year to commemorate the infamous “Live Free or Dance” Party, I will be hosting “Live Free or Dance II” at Ashuelot Park on Sunday September 9 at 10pm.
I ask that anyone planning to attend remain peaceful and respectful of the rights of others.
Using a portable battery-powered radio (and battery-powered party lights) – we shall have a dance party this year, hopefully without any arrests!
If the KPD shows up, I will take full responsibility and if arrested for any (bogus) reason, I ask that bail NOT be paid.
Meet Derrick J at the real-life, big screen premiere of “Derrick J’s Victimless Crime Spree“! See it exclusively in Keene at Keene Cinemas, 9:45am on Saturday, September 15th (Facebook event here.). After the film will be a question-and-answer session with Derrick J and the production team.
Admission is free, though donations will be accepted to cover the reasonable cost of renting the theater. In fact, if you can’t make it in person you can sponsor a seat via the chipin below (also installed on the righthand column of this site).
By the way, we’re working on a cool contest that should involve everyone who donates to the chipin and in real life at the theater. Stay tuned here and to the facebook page or email list for updates.
