Pot activist praises Keene PD handling of 420 events - NH

[SSILENTNATION]

Even Jason Soren - the father of the FSP - completely disagrees with these little shows - as seen by his comment to the article on these arrests in the unionleader.

[imsocuteable]

What the hell is wrong with you people in New Hampshire? I had thought California was the place to go to see crazy people... looks like I'll need to find a job in NH.

BTW, the proceeds of the lawsuits... where do they go? Does that guy just pocket it (and buy a lot of pot), or does he donate it?

[p00lman]

This is hilarious. These petulant, whining children are praising the cops for handling these situations better? What fucking hypocrites.

[JohnBabiuk]

when they handle themselves accordingly they deserve praise. It's the ones that act as thugs, breach the peace, or break the law that should be outed. An abuse of power SHOULD CONCERN all members of the public. They are the servants not the ruling class, and some seem to forget that.

[p00lman]

No, they're not servants, they're people just like you and me. "Protect and serve" means to serve the common good and the laws of this nation. It doesn't mean to bend over and kiss your ass, you selfish prick.

[JohnBabiuk]

Mate, in order to prevent corruption and tyranny. All gov't officials (INCLUDING COPS) have to take an Oath of Office. That Oath of Office, and Position of Public Trust, puts them in a position as a Public Servant. To Serve the Public! They are always to be in a position envying the public, otherwise corruption and tyranny reigns supreme. THAT was part of the checks and balances put into place to prevent tyranny. Problem is, too many people like you allow them to be ignorant of this fact!

[p00lman]

They "envy the public"? Uh, what? That's the first time I've heard that one.

Your argument's just getting stranger and stranger. Keep going. Do they also masturbate about the public? Do they make animal balloons in the same of regular people?

[Elephantintheroom01]

And the opposite of 'kiss your ass' is... tazer your ass? I'll choose kiss please.

They may WANT to server the common good, but why would the law be the right way to do that? The law is inflexible, it has to be to stop people from bending the rules, however it SHOULD be flexible to stop the rules from bending the people... into its image. Which btw isnt democratic.

[p00lman]

Um, "rules" aren't people. They don't have intentions or motivations. They can't "bend" people.

It's only when stupid activists try to fuck with the system that they get fucked in return. That's just how life is.

And no, it's not a choice between kiss and taser. Stop thinking in terms of extremes. That's only for nutbags.

[JohnBabiuk]

The beauty of the system, is that people like me will always be free, because I have taken to time to expose the deceptions, and rebuke the states claim that I am too feeble minded to handle my own affairs. I don't consent to be governed by a corporation, and have fired the "nanny" that is the state. I don't get the benefit of "social security" or "limited liability" but also don't have to follow the corporate policy (a.k.a. Statutes and Acts). I made my choice, you make yours. Simple.

[p00lman]

So how are you posting on the internet? What electricity are you using? What land are you living on? Do you have running water? Where does your food come from? What currency do you use? Which roads do you travel on?

Oops, not as free as you thought.

[JohnBabiuk]

Electricity generated through solar power. Internet is easy, you just need to provide your own server. Water comes from my well. Food comes from my garden and animals butchered from my farm. Currency comes from what people exchange for my services. Roads are the public motorways of the commonwealth, not the nation pal, covered by the Common Law Right to Travel! Wanna keep going? Why don't you stop wasting time arguing with me, and seek your own freedom, or not, up to you!

[p00lman]

That's okay, I'd rather be free of being a smelly redneck farmer.

[SSILENTNATION]

I am going to assume you make your own untaxed whiskey at that strip joint you frequent so often as noted on your page. I also assume those STD dripping whores that you have to PAY for attention don't accept your Canadian currency? I mean....you do practice what you preach right?

[JohnBabiuk]

lol. wow, you've really run out of logical things to say, no retort so you turn to criticism. It's ok, dismiss what I say. Mind you, I make my living doing things like dancing with those pretty girls, spreading love and joy, and enjoying life! I don't hate my job or life, I love it! And enjoy every minute of it. I found a way to turn my passion into my paycheck.

[SSILENTNATION]

So you are happy....conjuring up your own server, farming, traveling, writing on youtube, being a John etc etc...a real Macgyver with a twist of Fonz! I guess you have nothing to complain about then.

[Elephantintheroom01]

I was making a point, but you have ignored it.

Rules are made with motivations and intentions. What else causes them? They arent naturally occurring like gravity.

If there are a set of rules governing a persons actions, then of course they bend people into their own image. One example is how murder by civilians is intolerable, however for soldiers its standard.

I didnt mean to show only extremes, i meant to show how one is preferable to the other.

[p00lman]

If you can't tell the difference between a man murdering his wife and a soldier killing an invading enemy, I really can't help you.

[Elephantintheroom01]

When was the last time America was invaded? However it has invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and there were no WMDs.

[p00lman]

I'm not defending all wars or individual wars. I am, however, distinguishing between the murdering of the innocent (assuming that most domestic murders are without justification) and the killing of those who have made threats to your entire society.

[Elephantintheroom01]

This is the problem; this is when double standards come into play.

Does crime not count as a threat to the entire society? I certainly don't plan on abandoning my neighbours if they are burgled... or any person for that matter. Which means that some killings are justified as defence of life.

But given that the army is only capable of broad actions, or to use a term in the UK, a sledge hammer to crack a nut. Do you think that it is impossible for them to leave innocent people untouched?

[p00lman]

There are laws against crime, so no, crime doesn't threaten an entire society because laws exist to deal with it.

Laws weren't around to keep Hitler from invading Poland, or Saddam from invading Kuwait. If you can't stop such aggressive actions with laws, what other means besides the military do you have?

[Elephantintheroom01]

Nor are there any laws that stopped Bush from invading Iraq. It was in fact the laws which allowed them to do this without proper evedence nor a referendum.

[p00lman]

I'm not defending any individual wars.

But I'm saying there is a huge difference between killing during wartime and killing within your own society.

[Anothercoilgun]

Its a trap! Get you comfortable at first.

[funktroop3r]

Lol at the kid yelling freedom into the cops ear, he needs to calm down some.

[42kang]

pretty sure that shaking a police officers hand is a legal joinder that gives him juristiction. how shit is that ay

[12GaugeLosAngeles]

Ha ha, cops can't make shit up no more...

[bcaouette85]

We got the same thing here. Lewiston, Maine cops are total butt heads but the twin city Auburn, Maine they are very professional. Exactly as same describes.

[badkarma52]

CIVIL disobedience is the only way to get our point across without giving the LEO's justification for unwarranted arrests. The "freedom" screamer needs to learn that lesson. Great job Sam and Dave.

[davyjames]

who is the girl next to Sam... SEXY!

[Anothercoilgun]

Damn, super fine.

[someonenoticeimdead]

@davyjames I like her little knapsack on her hip. :3

[glenisah]

Very good, This should show the world that peaceful demonstration within the law can be achieved with only the occasional altercation.

[stratvic]

Reading the law you are going to break is a sensible idea.

Getting the cop to read the law ... brilliant.

... especially when you are practising civil obedience.
