Tuesday, June 17th 2014 - 2pm - Members of Free Keen and Stop Free Keene are being interviewed by a national news crew about their ongoing "Chalk War" and "Robin Hooding". They drew pictures for the cameras, but they were removed just minutes later by anti-chalk factions. They were replaced immediately after removal. While I was walking away from the event, one girl standing outside a Mexican restaurant, said, "We know your'e filming us right now." I responded, "Actually, I'm not. Should I be?" I got out my camera and began recording. The girl who commented to me disappeared, as did another man, James Michael Phillips. He's the man who hospitalized another person for using chalk. They both weren't brave enough to make their comments on camera. One man, however, taunted, "Nice PURSE! And PINK shorts." When I began recording him, however, he wasn't so courageous. He came up to my camera and twice tried to grab it from me, but he was too slow. I look forward to one day living in a world where adults can walk down the street without being harassed for the clothing they wear or the purses they carry. I will model adult behavior for those who missed the lesson during their upbringing. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qto6XUPhZtk

Thursday, July 24, 2014 - Legendary cannabis activist Rich Paul was charged with violating the terms of his probation. The government alleged that he continued to use cannabis and one evening was seen on camera holding a camera monopod (apparently a criminal act?). The hearing provided an excellent opportunity for Rich and fellow activist Garret Ean to take the stand and show that they are not afraid to admit to illegal activity -- so long as it harms no one. No victim, no crime. Rich was found guilty of continued cannabis use, but the judge decided that (since he wouldn't stop smoking anyway) Rich no longer has probation as a condition of his freedom. Instead, he was sentenced to 6 months in jail. But not before making an eloquent and moving speech about how the State creates victims out of non-criminals rather than punishing criminals and making victims whole. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZqgqZ2fr8U
