KEENE, N.H. (WHDH) — A group of men and women in New Hampshire say they’re just trying to help people avoid parking tickets, but Robin Hood and his merry men are looking at a lawsuit and could end up paying the price.
“When you save someone from a ticket people are really appreciative of that,” said Garrett Ean, “Robin Hood of Keene”.
The Robin Hooders patrol the streets of Keene searching for the parking officers and try to beat them — with coins — to the meter.
“My husband had it a few weeks ago. He was just running a little late in one of the stores…and when he came back he had the little card there saying they had put a little extra money in for him. It definitely saved him,” (more…)
WBZ’s Michael Rosenfield was first to contact me today, and also first to post their report. I have one major critique of this package:
They show Alan, the meter maid, complaining that my friends and I watched him and his family at the park on Sunday and tried to make it sound intimidating. They did not show my rebuttal to his claim. Here’s what really happened:
Every week, activists gather for Social Sunday. This last Sunday we went to Robin Hood park (yes, really – it’s called that). While there, I walked from our picnic area to the bathroom, hundreds of feet away from our gathering. On my return walk I saw someone I thought to be Alan at the playground. When I returned, I asked the Robin Hooders who have more street time and familiarity with Alan if that was Alan, so people were looking over there to confirm or deny it was him. That’s all! He acts like we stalked him at the park, when I’m pretty sure we were there before him!
This recently released short documentary really does a great job of introducing why the Free State Project‘s wide spectrum of geographically concentrated pro-liberty activism is the most viable solution to achieve liberty in our lifetime:

Just hours after the Union Leader linked to the video of him insulting Robin Hooders, local pastor and Robin Hood opponent Dave Berman was back on the streets insulting Robin Hooders again. He started by accusing me of being mean, so I reached for my camera and he did not want our conversation on the record, so he began to walk away, but not before accusing activists of “doctoring” video and calling my friend an idiot:

Not all TV news is created equal. 7 News Boston’s Ryan Schulteis’ excellent report on the Robin Hooding lawsuit by the “City of Keene” is the best one yet. Only positive responses from people on the street and the city looks bad for not returning calls for comment.![WBZTVLogo[1]](https://i0.wp.com/freekeene.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/WBZTVLogo1.jpg?w=150)
