Derrick J is out of jail! His first stop? Middleboro MA’s Profanity Event!

A large group of supporters gathered at the Keene Spiritual Retreat on Monday morning to welcome Derrick back to the semi-free world. Rather than go straight back to Keene and relax, Derrick decided to attend the “Free Fucking Speech” event put on by Adam Kokesh in Middleboro, MA – the town that has banned profanity. Here’s footage of the speakers at the event, which included Derrick J:

Response to Carolyn Szoc’s Letter to the Editor

On June 16 the Keene Sentinel published a letter to the editor regarding my participation in the local Memorial Day Parade.
