Pro-Robin Hood Letter to the Sentinel : Unedited Version

Robin Hood of KeeneA letter to the editor was recently published in the Keene Sentinel by David Crawford. In it, he expresses appreciation for Robin Hooders, the people who save motorists from being ticketed for parking at expired meters by placing coins in said meters before the meter maids can reach them to write a ticket.

However, if you read the version the Sentinel published, you did not read the whole thing. David reached out to let us know the letter had a few things that were cut out by the newspaper’s editors, including his naming of former KPD captain Peter “Sturdy” Thomas and a mention of tax dollars. Here’s the original version of his letter, as he sent it to the Sentinel:

Did you get saved from a ticket?

There are people calling themselves “robinhooders” and they are saving people from getting parking tickets in Keene.

Here is how they do it: (more…)

Police to Release Heroin Dealer to Bust Cannabis Dealer?

This is the insane “war on drugs”: The KPD & FBI bust a heroin dealer then promise to set him free in return for helping them bust a cannabis dealer! The story goes deeper – turns out it was all about targeting Rich Paul’s political associates. The FBI’s Phil Christiana was handling the case and tried to get Rich Paul to set up his fellow liberty activists for arrest. Rich refused to turn snitch and is now going to jury trial on Tuesday at 9am at Cheshire “superior” court. In this video from CopBlock‘s Pete Eyre, Rich Admits he sold cannabis and plans to ask the jury to nullify the war on drugs. Rich says, toward the end of the video, “The time has come to end…this war on drugs”.

Sheriff’s department denies alleged discrimination, requests trial – Sentinel

footeThe Keene Sentinel has been doing a good job of following harassment and discrimination allegations against the Cheshire Sheriffs from an employee. The charges involve multiple department employees and also include former Sheriff Richard “Dick” Foote. Looks like they have denied the allegations and are moving for a jury trial. Get the details in this story from the Sentinel.

‘Free Keene Knuckleheads’ Yanked from YouTube

It was one month ago when DrDavid Berman removed the feedback mechanisms from his popular youtube video Free Keene Knuckleheads Confronted. Some time recently, the video itself became privatized, making it inaccessible for viewing to the general public. You can see multiple shots taken from Dr. Dave’s perspective in the AKPF episode Dr. David Joins Aqua Keene Parking Force, including audio ripped from the original. Since the video’s debut, Robin Hood of Keene and his Merry Men (of which this author is an active participant) have received a number of apologies and expressions of support from individuals identifying as Christian who believed that the doctor’s actions in the video did not represent their faith well.

knuckleheads_akpfthumbnailWhile Dr. Dave’s approach was unnecessarily confrontational, I do appreciate that he took the initiative to express himself on video for public dissemination. There are many who never express themselves. Robin Hood and the Merry Men welcome third party videographers to record our actions, and we encourage them to disseminate as much of their footage to the public as possible. The original video description of the Knuckleheads video read:

I’m Confronting these idiots because they are constantly following meter maids around with cameras trying to intimidate them and make their work life miserable. They are acting like little babies because I am calling them names like Jerks and knuckleheads. Aww…did I hurt your feelings? They and those who defend them are just that.

420 Celebrations Are Back Daily in Central Sq!

Pot LeafAs Rich Paul’s trial looms, he has called for the return of the 420 celebrations in Keene’s Central Square.

True to form, a group of hardcores came out this afternoon and enjoyed a smoke commenced after Rich’s iconic, “We smoke these in remembrance of lost liberties and in hope for a day where the people no longer fear their government because the government fears the people! Smoke ’em if you got ’em!”

Rich Paul MegaphoneMuch conversation was had and a lovely afternoon was enjoyed by the near half-dozen in attendance.

420 celebrations will continue in Central Square through (and beyond) April 20th when a larger event will take place at the state house in Concord. (There will still be a Keene 420 that day as well.) However, the Concord 420 is expected to be well-attended, as it is every year. Here is a facebook event for the Concord 420 on 4/20.
