On Monday, August 12 2013, at the “Superior” courthouse here in Keene, I was sprayed with water by a man who works for the “local government.” After being cooped up in the court house for four hours, I decided to enjoy the outdoors for a bit during the lunch break of the Robin Hood evidentiary hearing. After enjoying a sandwich outside with friends, I decided to draw some artwork on the sidewalk which prompted a “government” employee to spray me with a hose.
This event demonstrates a lot of interesting things : (more…)
We’ve only got about a quarter-year until the first Keenevention, November 1st-3rd! The initial schedule has been laid out. You can see that at the bottom of the Schedule and Speakers page on Keenevention.info. (It is subject to change.)
As reported here, Manchester police issued a summons for violating a sign / zoning ordinance for using a laser projector during a Peaceful Streets event which warned citizens of the dangers that lay ahead at the suspicionless checkpoint being operated by MPD. In response we set up a successful go fund me campaign to help with legal expenses.
Attorney Seth Hipple was hired to handle the case and a letter was sent to the city requesting that they clarify exactly which subsection of the ordinance we were accused of violating. The response we received was unexpectedly positive, the summons has been cancelled. Here is a copy of the letter. MPD LASER LETTER
As of right now, the Green Beam is ready and waiting to deploy at the next event. The law office of Martin and Hipple will remain on retainer in case the planning department decides to pursue the matter or the city devises a new strategy. Any remaining funds will be used to upgrade and maintain the laser. Thank you for your support.
This is the unedited video from Cheshire superior court where the Robin Hooders are involved in a civil trial brought by the people calling themselves “The City of Keene”. The city people want Robin Hooding (a peaceful activity that saves motorists from parking tickets) to cease. Don’t miss Pete Eyre’s testimony at the end:
Pete’s segment was so good, I even cut it out into a separate video. If you don’t have time for the full 5.5 hours, definitely make time for Pete’s testimony. The CopBlocker speaks truth to power and flummoxes an experienced attorney, who clearly didn’t know to whom he was speaking:
Yesterday on Peace News Now I was joined by Robin Hood of Keene for a recap and update on the City of Keene lawsuit. Guests Ian Freeman, Garret Ean, James Cleaveland, Kate Ager, and Graham Colson provided excellent insight into the motives behind their actions.
While Robin Hooding this past Saturday in Keene, there was much Cheshire TV series crossover occuring, as Merry person Garret was joined by Black Sheep Rising producer and co-host Conan, as well as the mute miniature pinscher co-host Ji. Fans of the AKPF #1 series would be familiar with the parking enforcers who star in the program. The after-hours mature talk show, Black Sheep Rising, is well known for its mascot studio dog Jioto, or more simply known as Ji. While Ji was actively participating in Robin Hooding for most of the day, he did take a break to beg the friendly parking enforcer for treats. AKPF agent Jane satisfied his request before the impassioned young canine set back out to filling expired meters for his hominid comrades.
