Derrick J Assaulted by Crossing Guard

Friday afternoon, I went out to record some scenes of the new indoctrination center for Keene’s young adults. There I found this violent woman who, unprovoked, attacks me with her sign. She wouldn’t give her name.

9-Second Version in which she attacks.
53-Second Version in which she explains.
3-Minute Version in which I forgive her.
Raw Version featuring the Keene Police rejecting the Police Hugging Squad coming soon!

Yeah, I should move…

Recently a few of my friends were arrested for trespassing on public property, sounds silly right? What’s also silly is the comment I got from one of the arresting Cheshire County Sheriffs. See video below.

It’s sad to hear so many officers say things are fine and believe those who have issue with government services – like myself – should move to another (governed) land.

Seems like there is plenty to do here in Keene (and the Shire).

New Commenting System Changes

Certain trolls on the FK comments section had figured out how to spoof the Gravatar system and make it appear as though they were legitimate, registered members of this website. The comment form has now been modified so that it now only asks for a name, comment, and captcha. The email and website options have been removed, and not even the name field is required anymore. Only registered users will be able to utilize the gravatar feature and have their name link to a website.

This will make it easier for anyone to drop in a quick, anonymous comment. It will also ensure those who take the time to register an account here and login to comment will not be imitated by the trolls and will be more easily identifiable in the comments sections. Of course, Facebook commenting is available as it has been.

I hope you like the changes.

BEARCAT-Supporting City Councilors, Mayor Targeted by AntiSec

Did you really think it was going to be over last night? What a shame no city councilors had the courage to change their vote in the face of so much public opposition to the killing machine that the Keene police want to bring to town. We tried to tell them the world was watching.

Now it appears some hacktivists have also been paying attention to what is going on in Keene and the heroic group AntiSec has targeted “mayor” Kendall Lane and the Keene city councilors who voted in favor of the BEARCAT for a good doxing.

They have started with info about Kendall Lane and Janice Manwaring. AntiSec states that the rest are coming. The dox are being posted to the AntiSec facebook page, and who knows where else they are being spread.

Do you think the council expected attention like this? Kudos to the brave hacktivists in AntiSec for taking on this issue and paying attention to the oppression going on here in Keene.

I will update this post as AntiSec continues to post more info.

Dox for Kendall Lane:

Target: Keene, N.H., Mayor Kendall Lane.

Looks like LENCO is still at it, attempting to control who sees their violence-fetishizing promo video for the BEARCAT attack vehicle. They have pulled down the video from Capuzzo’s channel, which had over 30,000 views thanks to it being linked in the Huffington Post piece on the Keene BEARCAT situation. Fortunately, there are still others online. If you would like to help ensure this never goes away, you can download an .mp4 of the video and upload it to your own Youtube channel (or other video sharing service, since Youtube is so obedient to the state).

Cowardly City Councilors Ignore the People, Vote for BEARCAT 9-4

Police State KeeneTonight, the Keene city council could have made history as the first ever political designation to reject arms manufacturer LENCO and the federal government’s pushing of the BEARCAT police attack “tank“.

They could have heard the voices of the people who were crying out against this intimidating monstrosity that will inevitably militarize the Keene police even more, and as city councilor Carl Jacobs appropriately pointed out, distance them further from the community they supposedly serve.

They could have. But they didn’t. The BEARCAT passed 9 to 4.

Despite the outpouring of opposition in the community against the BEARCAT, not a single councilor changed their vote from December, when they originally voted in favor of it. That vote was 13 to 1. Why were the numbers different? The new city councilors who took office in January were the ones to vote against it. So, the councilors who originally voted for it completely disregarded all the input they received from the community in various forms:

  • In a Keene Sentinel online poll, 72% said they city council was wrong to accept the BEARCAT. (Only 12% favored the BEARCAT in the poll.)
  • WKBK’s Dan Mitchell stated on-air that 90% of his callers were against the BEARCAT.
  • City councilor Bettina Chadbourne related during tonight’s meeting that of the 80 phone calls she received from various members of the community, (old, young, business owners, men, women, etc) only ten calls were in favor of the BEARCAT.
  • The public hearing on the BEARCAT featured dozens of speakers, the supermajority of which opposed the BEARCAT.
  • A random walk down Main St. would show anyone who bothered to ask people that the supermajority of people oppose the BEARCAT.
  • Most letters to the editor of the Keene Sentinel were in opposition to the BEARCAT.
  • During the meeting the councilors who favored the BEARCAT got no applause from the packed room, while the councilors who spoke in opposition to the BEARCAT were blasted with applause.
