This is just to let you all know that I have been removed from the ballot and am no longer running for Mayor of Keene. I hereby endorse my former opponent Darryl W. Perry, to be the next mayor of Keene, and hope that my many supporters will show him some love!
I’m still in the Spiritual Retreat and am enjoying the visits and mail that I get. I hope to hear from more of you! I do not however, suggest trying to use the remote visitation feature of the system…it does not work, and is very expensive! If you are far away, I suggest sending a mail-to-jail instead! And drop a donation to my defense fund if you want to spend some money.
Kudos to the Sentinel for being first to press with the story on the 2nd lawsuit the city has filed against Robin Hooders. In it, the city attorney finally admits it’s about the revenue, but adds a lie to the mix:
Any significant loss of revenue has more to do with officers writing fewer tickets than in the past because they’ve been distracted by the alleged harassing behavior, he said.
It’s either a lie or city attorney Thom Mullins doesn’t understand how Robin Hooding works. The Robin Hooder should be positioned in front of the parking enforcer, filling meters before the enforcer can reach them. That is why they are writing fewer tickets, it’s not because they are distracted! Just admit it, Thom – you guys are pissed that you have missed out on at least $25,000 in revenue this year because Robin Hooders have saved well over 5,000 motorists from being victimized by your agents!
Oh yeah, and googling “Keene” reveals Free Keene in the top ten results.
Yep, totally irrelevant!
If your liberty movement isn’t receiving opposition like this, you might be doing it wrong. Move to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project and make your activism for liberty count! For maximum fun, come to Keene – here are over 150 reasons to do so.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
The people calling themselves the “City of Keene” have now filed another lawsuit against the same Robin Hooders (and Pete Eyre, who has never Robin Hooded) in Cheshire “superior” court. This time, they allege the same things as before, that we have cause them damage by “harassing” and “intimidating” their parking enforcers as part of a conspiracy to meddle with their employment contracts. Now, they are seeking monetary damages plus their attorneys’ fees (which are not going to be small, given the huge number of hours they have likely already billed on just the first case alone) and are demanding a jury trial! So if it weren’t bad enough that they are wasting the court’s time with one trial, now they are going to waste even more of the court’s time AND the time of a dozen innocent jurors who could be out living their productive lives.
“This is not about revenue. This is not about the city losing any money,” – City Manager John A. MacLean
From the new suit:
37. The City has suffered damages, all within the jurisdictional limits of the Court, for
the following:
a. Loss of an employee;
b. A modified schedule for another employee because of the Defendants’
behavior;
c. Hiring costs to replace the lost employee;
d. Monetary and administrative expenses with regard to counseling and other
Human Resource issues; and
e. The PEOs’ inability to properly perform their employment duties.
Item “e” is another way of them saying “LOST REVENUE”. Looks like the truth has come out. It IS really all about their lost revenue…and the continued attempt to crush the liberty activists in the area. The defendants must file appearances and answers in the case within 30 days of being served with the case. Here is the 2nd lawsuit against Robin Hooders in PDF form, as filed in Cheshire “superior” court on Monday 9/23.

1. Why are you running for city council?
There is no principled voice for liberty on the Keene city council. Year after year, the “city” gets bigger, more expensive, and more intrusive. I can’t turn that around alone, but one voice and vote for freedom is what I can provide.
2. What are the three biggest issues facing city government and what can – and should – the city council do about them? (more…)
