-She was not drunk.
-The drug charge was for her valid prescription medication.
-She says she had no alcohol in her car and was unaware if her passengers did.
-She presented a drivers’ license and registration, so why disobeying an officer?
-She did not resist arrest.
Should you like to help Amanda with her attorney’s fees, here is a link to her defense fund. She is going to continue to post to her facebook and twitter and is encouraging you contact police prosecutor Jim Sawyer at 603-524-2330 and ask him to drop the charges against Amanda Johnson.
Hopefully she will be re-posting the video of her arrest soon.
Free Keene welcomes our newest blogger, NH native Graham Colson. Graham has come a long way since he first discovered the ideas of liberty via the epic 420 celebrations several years ago here in Keene. Now he joins the blog team here at Free Keene. Here’s his bio from the bloggers page:
Graham grew up in nearby Swanzey. When he was 16 and still in forced public education, he heard about the exciting things happening in Keene and knew he had to be a part of that in some capacity or another. When Graham turned 18 he moved here and he says his life changed forever, “These last few years have undoubtedly been the most single most interesting period of my life, and I’m looking forward to whatever the future in the Shire holds.” Graham considers himself an Anarcho Capitalist, and seeks to be a part of bringing about the end of the cancer calling itself the state through nonviolent means. He shares an inspirational quote from Gandhi: “When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall.”

Robin Hood of Keene, in solidarity with the city, will attempt to expand the holiday week of free downtown parking in Keene, New Hampshire by an additional day. In an effort to not annoy holiday shoppers, City of Keene will not demand change from drivers parked at metered parking spaces from December 18th though December 25th. Robin Hood’s Merry People will be saving driver’s from parking tickets from 9:00AM to 5:00PM on Tuesday, December 17th.
This is the first time that Robin Hood of Keene and City of Keene have partnered together to help drivers and downtown Keene based store owners. If this test run works well, Robin Hood of Keene and City of Keene may partner together in future endeavors.
Ademo Freeman of CopBlock.org and Garret Ean of FreeConcord.org joined me to discuss the topic, “Is Silence Better than PR?” The answer depends on the individual, but Ademo & Garret draw some pretty clear lines of when it is a good or bad idea to go public with a criminal charge. Do you agree or disagree with their views? Please share your thoughts during tomorrow’s live episode of Peace News Now at 10p EST on LRN.fm.
This week we discuss the Robin Hooder’s sweet (be it shortlived) win in court as well as Garret’s four week Peaceful Streets excursion. Show notes at BlackSheepRising.org
