Activists Gather Hundreds of Petition Signatures Opposing Concord BEARCAT, Hold Press Conference

BEARCATLiberty activists, led by Free State Project participants, recently gathered in Concord over the weekend to go door-to-door asking for petition signatures opposing the proposed BEARCAT, the armored “attack truck” the police are currently drooling over.  Here, the Concord Monitor reports on the successful petition drive that gathered hundreds of signatures.

On Monday, FSP president Carla Gericke spoke out at a press conference, calling for the grant application to remove all references to Free State Project participants and Occupiers being “domestic terrorists”.  The story about that press conference made the front page of today’s Union Leader.

Here’s the full press conference video, thanks to Biker Bill:

New Mover Amanda Billyrock’s First Cop Blocking

billyrockSometimes Cop Blocking is a planned activity.  Sometimes it just happens, as it did with new mover Amanda Billyrock and her friends in Manchester:

Less than 24 hours ago, I had never cop-blocked before.

For the unaware, allow me to describe: the term “cop-block”, coined by CopBlock.org, is the de-escalation of a potentially dangerous situation with police employees, by ensuring that all parties are held accountable for their actions. The main task is filming police interactions, but there’s more: getting names and badge numbers of the employees, repeatedly asking “Am I being detained?” to establish the requirement that there be suspicion of your having committed a crime for a stop to even be taking place, and refraining from saying anything more than “Am I free to go?”, as police are trained (and legally protected) to lie to you in an effort to prompt you to say something that they could use to prosecute you.

Aqua Kourt Pillage Feud #1

jonmeyer_bauernh_akpfPremiering in this week’s AKPF #1 timeslot is Aqua Kourt Pillage Feud #01, the first installment of Robin Hood of Keene‘s edited trial highlights from the raw full hearing. The next such occasion is scheduled for September 30 and October 1, unless a motion to dismiss filed by attorney Jon Meyer is granted prior. Last week featured Pete’s testimony chopped down to a format easily consumable by a televisual audience. This week’s video consists primarily of parking enforcer Linda’s testimony, and drudges on indefinitely until details begin to emerge.

Pete Denied Removal From Robin Hood Case

peteApparently because Pete, (who has never actually Robin Hooded) one time gave the location of a parking enforcer over a two-way radio and also once spoke to a parking enforcer at some point in the past, he is a valid defendant in this case, according to a recent filing and order from Cheshire superior court.

According to the objection filed by the City of Keene’s hired-gun private attorneys, Pete’s actions make him “directly involved” and “connected”. Apparently now anyone who has told a Robin Hooder where to find a parking enforcer, could be named in the lawsuit.

Judge John C. Kissinger then denied Pete’s motion to remove his name from the case.
