The self proclaimed Garret Ean of Manchester, new mover Andrew Vermiglio aka Shire Dude joins us in studio to talk about his journey from California, the liberty culture of NH, Porcfest, agorism in Manchester, how public we are about our beliefs, plus Rob and Joel debate what minarchists really are.
Rich Paul was arraigned Friday morning for “Violation Of Probation” and ordered to stay in a cage with no bail by John C. Kissinger because he’s supposedly a danger to the community. Ridiculous.
Rich can now be visited at the Keene Spiritual Retreat aka the county jail, or visit him online via Securus. Or, send him a letter via Mail-to-Jail.
Stay tuned to FreeKeene.com for the latest. The next step is the full VOP hearing, date unknown at this point. Here’s the arraignment video:

WMUR’s Kristen Carosa came to town yesterday to report on the War on Chalk:
Also, the Keene Sentinel ran a story reporting on Matthew “Yankee” Oldershaw a local chalker who was the victim of a recent attack in central square. Oldershaw is currently hospitalized with serious injuries. The alleged attacker has been identified as James Michael Phillips, originally from Virginia, another violent transplant from outside NH. Here’s the Sentinel piece by Alyssa Dandrea and Ella Nilsen: (more…)
Rich Paul, who was out on probation after spending nearly a year in jail for the “crime” of selling flowers has been arrested and taken straight to the jail aka Keene Spiritual Retreat. The probation department alleges that he has continued to consume the evil flowers and that Rich was in possession of a weapon at the recent attack on chalkers Monday night. (Rich had a monopod on his camera and detached it and held it at the ready for self-defense as two potential assailants approached him.)
UPDATE: You can now write to Rich in jail via Mail-to-Jail!
UPDATE: Here’s the paperwork from probation with the alleged violations of probation against Rich.
UPDATE: He will have a bail hearing Friday at 9am and at this time he is facing the prospect of years in prison. Stay tuned to Free Keene for the latest. Here’s the RAW video of his arrest:

After being trounced in the 1st federal circuit court, the Town of Weare and the notoriously corrupt Weare Police Department have settled with Free State Project President Carla Gericke to the tune of $57,500!
After Weare police had arrested her for “wiretapping” for recording a traffic stop then dropped the charges, Carla sued. She had recently won an “interlocutory” appeal case where the 1st circuit decided (again) that there is an established right to record government police doing their job in public and that police cannot claim “qualified immunity” from personal liability when arresting videographers.
The civil case against Weare, the WPD, and the individual officers was remanded back to the federal district court to move ahead to trial, but now that trial has been canceled with the news that Weare has given up and settled the case for over $57,000! Plus, there are no restrictions on her discussing the case, as are typically found with settlements. Congratulations to Carla and her attorneys for this epic win!
