Wondering what’s going on with Manchester West High School’s MaryEllen McGorry? You know, the bureaucrat that testified against Ademo and supported the police officer who slamed a teen’s head against a lunchroom table? She was suspended recently pending an investigation. What has become of that?
Well, it’s a “personnel issue”, so you don’t get to know anything about it, despite being forced to pay for their monopoly on education. Dave Ridley gets the story:
Back in 2011, Keene-based activists traveled south to Palmer, MA to support Jay Noone as his home was being taken from him by the people calling themselves the “Town of Palmer”. You can see the video of that day’s events here.
In the 2011 visit, we were able to walk about the town offices and ask the employees questions with no threats from Palmer police.
This time, however, things were different. Activists once again traveled South to help protect Jay Noone’s home from being sold at a “tax sale”. Coincidentally, we happened to encounter a tax sale at Palmer town hall back in 2011 as well. This time, no one from the public was allowed into the “very open, public tax sale”. The first stop however was the “open house”, where potential buyers were informed that the home is stolen property and that they would be included in a lawsuit by Jay if they purchased the home.
Palmer police were mostly giving us the silent treatment, especially one officer who was parked conspicuously down the street video recording us from afar on a dated, tape-based device. Finally, I was later arrested for the horrible crime of walking into town hall with a video camera and refusing to shut it off. Apparently, the Glik decision didn’t mean much to these bureaucrats. All that and more are all included in this 15 minute video of the scene:
This past Thursday Keene resident James Walters arrived home around 3pm and noticed Keene PD’s Officer Short sitting in his driveway. Officer Short said, “I’d like to ask you about this sign” pointing to an anti-Romney political sign.
Walters asked, “am I being detained?”
Short said, “no.”
Walters asked Officer Short to leave his property and after a brief back and forth, Short asked for a receipt showing proof of purchase or the sign would be taken. Walters informed Officer Short that if the sign was taken, lawyers and the media would be contacted.
Walters said, “Short told me that the Attorney General personally called the Keene PD demanding them to take this particular sign.”
According to Walters, Officer Short then made a phone call, and took the sign.
Calls to the Attorney General’s Office were not immediately returned.
The Union Leader is reporting that the race in Hillsboro district 12 is a republican Free Stater vs a democrat Free Stater. Look for more of this in the future as more activists move here and take over the Republican and Democrat parties.
If you’ve been following the United States presidential race, there’s a chance you’ve seen the viral video of an Obama supporter explaining that she supports her candidate because of a free Obama-phone. While telecommunications is an important issue to many Americans, Free Concord presents an alternative spin on the monologue from a foreign policy perspective.

Earlier today, the police in the Town of Palmer ignored the historic Glik decision that affirms your right to record government employees in the performance of their duties, and went ahead and arrested a cameraman, me, for recording video in their town hall. Darryl described the scene earlier. A longer video is coming, but for now, here’s the video of us entering the town of Palmer offices, the arrest, to when the cops turn the camera off:
One more thing: In case you don’t believe this was a public auction, here’s proof:
1. Here’s the Zekos Group announcement of the auction, which I downloaded from their website, that clearly states, “This will be a very open, public, and professional process“. Other attendees were denyed entry to the auction – unless they had a $5,000 cashier’s check.
2. We visited the Palmer town offices and sat in on a tax sale in 2011 and were unmolested by the same town bureaucrats. See the video here: (more…)
