Some recent news from New Hampshire and beyond …
The Keene Sentinel was out today covering the Keene Middle School outreach event. I sat and spoke with Josh, a new reporter at the Keene Sentinel for about 20 minutes, and I did my best to explain the reason for reaching out to the middle school kids. There seem to be a few discrepancies in his story vs our discussion, so I’ve marked a few very minor corrections in red:

Police were on hand called by school officials, Friday as about a dozen six members participants of the Free State Project stood outside Keene Middle School at school’s end, holding banners and signs that read “FreeKeene.com” and “School sucks project.”
It was the second time this week the protesters had shown up as students were leaving school.
On Tuesday, Free Keene member blogger Sam E. Miller Dodson stood outside the school on Washington Street by himself, holding a similar sign. He dropped the sign after was attacked when a parent, unable to control his anger, hit his hand holding the sign, Miller Dodson said, and a student ran off with it encouraged by the juvenile behavior of the parent, ran up – snatched the sign from his hand and ran away to rip it in half. Miller Dodson said he needed reinforcements. called for nearby police (more…)

Today while shopping at the local Wal Mart Pete Eyre and I noticed a Keene Police officer shopping as we left. To no surprise we saw he was parked illegally outside. We waited around so we could ask him why he felt he was privileged enough to park there, while others would be ticketed.
The man with the badge claimed to be on official police business, though that looked alot like shopping to me, and stated that since he drives a different car than most he was allowed to park where ever. Even if he was shopping for the department couldn’t the man, who presumably tickets (fancy word for stealing or ordering) others for parking infractions, just park in a open spot?
There’s a video contest going on now for similar videos.
TX police spend hours harvesting mint plants they mistook for marijuana, legal weed and prohibition, and it looks like fatties are the new smokers so let’s tax and vilanize them.

Good afternoon.
Time for some mostly New Hampshire-esque news with some random thoughts of a former statist.
A man who was doing nothing more than carrying a switchblade knife has been arrested for being a felon in possession of a deadly weapon. This comes right after the wonderful Rep. Jennifer Coffey (a FSP participant) was victorious in seeing that mere possession of a switchblade knife by anyone not branded a felon is now legal in New Hampshire. Of course, if you’re a felon, you are a second class citizen essentially for life. You can achieve said second class citizen-ness for simply holding (and never using) a chemical substance in your hand… a trivial act which harms no one.
New Hampshire has one of the strictest (and arguably one of the most confusing) laws regarding felons being in possession of a deadly weapon. Under the law a felon could lawfully possess a crossbow while at the same time be tossed in prison for seven years for cutting steak with a dull steak knife. I shall explain:
The Trespassive Twelve‘s arraignments happened this week, and here’s the raw video:
