They said they were, the Grafton County Superior Court now says they’re not.
Don’t you worry… we’re not close to being done with them on self-defense freedom for PUBLICLY FUNDED AND TAX EXEMPT university students.
Notice how Judge Vaughn italicizes “responsible” citizens… to emphasize that Tommy Mozingo and I are not. (We’ve never been convicted of a single criminal offense.)
I’d say protesting the government in favor of natural and constitution rights is the only responsible thing to do when the government illegaly infringes on those rights.
Secession advocates are thrown out of a Huntsman town hall meeting in Keene New Hampshire by the police. So much for free speech, freedom to peaceably assemble, freedom of the press, right to protest–it’s all a joke.
At least the police feel like they have liberty. Ian Freeman, Jason Talley, and newcomer Nicholas Shankin record.
Harvard student blogger Matt Bieber has written yesterday that he was baselessly arrested by Hudson police while at a Mitt Romney event on January 9. Police said that he was identified by campaign staff as someone who was present at a previous protest which Bieber claims to have not attended. His experience is published at his blog here.
The previous protest that he was alleged to have been at could have possibly been one which I had attended in a journalistic capacity. Occupy New Hampshire participants had gathered outside of Romney’s campaign headquarters on Elm Street in Manchester. Some protesters waived signs over the windows while the presidential candidate talked to supporters inside. This occurred during the initial occupation of Veterans Park back in October.
The facts in Bieber’s case are vaguely similar to the circumstances that resulted in the arrest of Dave Ridley at the Radisson in Nashua on May 25.

Adam Kokesh of Adam vs. The Man and I went to the Hudson, NH Police Department to file a criminal complaint against former House Speaker and presidental candidate Newt Gingrich’s security agent who assaulted Adam earlier the previous day. When we were there, Adam was filming, and was threatened with arrest.
I told the shift commander that he was absolutely incorrect about New Hampshire law due to a 1st Circuit Court of Appeals decision that denied qualified immunity to Boston, MA Police for making a similar arrest.
It is okay to be wrong… every human is wrong about stuff all the time. It does take, however, a big man to admit that he was wrong, and Lieuteant Dyac of the Hudson, NH Police proved to be a big man. Of course, it would have been preferred that he knew the law ahead of time, but we all know that ignorance of the law isn’t an excuse for US, but IS for state agents.
I am going to write a letter to Hudson, NH Police Chief Jason Lavoie praising his commander for his willingness to admit a mistake. I’d respectfully ask you all either do the same or call to quickly ask that the Chief be told that his Lieutenant is a step above many law enforcers we’ve encountered being wrong about the law. By taking the time to research the issue before taking action, Lieuteant Dyac saved his department from civil liability. He clearly is an asset to that agency.
YouTube commenters seem to agree:
These guys are good Officers, it’s obvious? they genuinely care about people and the constitution and they where very professional. Good on them.

I witnessed first-hand a member of former House Speaker and Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich’s private security detail unjustifiably (under NH law) assault Adam vs. The Man‘s Adam Kokesh. Video of it can be found in Ian Freeman’s blog here.
Shall we post his picture everywhere so we can let the world know who he is and hope that someone can identify him?
If no one can recognize him, don’t worry, the Hudson, NH Police will be identifying him shortly for us. Stay tuned to Adam’s show for the video about that. I’ll even help conduct the background investigation into who this criminal is.
