Beau Davis Arrested, Faces 7 Years for Distributing Plants

KEENE – That plant is known as cannabis and in the “Live Free or Die” State of New Hampshire a young man could be caged for up to 7 years if he dares compete with the very profitable Liquor Cartel. Beau’s official charges of “distribution of controlled substances” were announced at Keene District Court this morning at 9:30 am. At the same time all over the State, employees of the New Hampshire Liquor Commission exchanged money for alcohol. These employees will go home to their families while Beau is separated from everything and everyone he knows.

Beau Davis moved to the Shire as a crew member of Liberty on Tour during their Free State Friendship Tour. He hopes to travel more in the future, perhaps on the Oceans. Beau is known for his kindness and peaceful actions.

According to eyewitness accounts, Beau was arrested before 3:30 while standing near a group of people in Keene Central Square. A Keene Police Department Cruiser parked on the cross walk in front of the church. A uniformed officer asked Beau if “Davis” was his last name. Beau replied with “huh” as two male law enforcers, one in uniform and one out of uniform, put their hands on Beau before taking him away. The Keene Police Department or the Drug Task Force are not releasing information on the subject.

When asked what the charges against Beau are, the law enforcers replied “none of your business.” These law enforcers enforce prohibition which makes victims of peaceful people and the taxpayers who fund their aggression.

Beau still refuses to process and is likely being denied food, warmth and contact with people who care about him. There may be a video arraignment later today. The courtroom was full and 10 people from the Keene community were there to see Beau. One woman was wearing a “I Support Beau” t-shirt.

NH Civil Liberties Union fights to allow Bigfoot on Mt. Monadnock

From Boston.com:

On a whim two years ago, performance artist Jonathan Doyle paraded around the bustling peak of New Hampshire’s Mount Monadnock in a $40 Bigfoot costume from iParty.

He thought his deadpan video interviews with hikers describing their Bigfoot sightings would be worth a few chuckles on YouTube, and might boost the profile of his other artwork.

But the staff at Monadnock State Park found the Yeti act abominable. When Doyle returned with friends to shoot a sequel, the park manager quashed the production and ordered Doyle off the mountain, insisting he needed a state permit to film a movie in the park.

Bigfoot stepped up with a lawsuit, alleging that the park’s permit regulations are unconstitutional. (more…)

Lemonade Liberation Victory!

Today all charges against the Lemonade Liberating 3 were dropped!

Upon arriving for our 2nd appearance in the Washington DC Superior Court, my fellow ‘lemonistas’ and I had no idea what to expect.  We very well could have been taking our last steps as free people, facing up to a year in jail… for selling lemonade.  However, we were overjoyed when the judge called us to the front, and with a big grin said, “your case has been dismissed, you are all free to go!”  I think he was as happy as we were.

 

Immediately after exiting the courtroom, we made our way over to the capitol building (where we had previously been banned from) and snapped some pictures from the scene of our NON-crime.  It was a great day for all of us; but more importantly, for liberty.  We were able to show another example of how the government will try to crush peaceful people into submission with orders and threats, until they reach a point where they are forced to choose between backing down or creating a martyr.  Either way, they lose.

Libertarian Rep. Steve Vaillancourt vs. libertarian Rep. Seth Cohn on Occupy NH

In his latest episode of More Politically Alert, State Representative Steve Vaillancourt (R – Manchester), a libertarian opponent of Occupy NH, debates State Representative Seth Cohn (R – Canterbury), a libertarian member of Occupy NH. The discussion starts at around 10:45.

Vaillancourt, prolific media producer that he is, has also posted a blog about his experience at the redistricting committee hearing in Keene last Tuesday: Joy And Sorrow On The Redistricting Front. (See earlier Free Keene coverage.) Fun fact: I’ve never understood the appeal of the B-52’s.
