NH: Cops arrest pot protesters - Keene, Marijuana

[RastaManVIBRATIONJah]

weAre in a fucking recession!! spending millions on trying to fight a harmless PLANT is so fucking pointless.

[garybno1]

also if it causes depression then ys it used to treat depression

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@garybno1 that's just like asking why anti-depressants can increase depression(which it can)

[jackwriley10]

i was there today and i didnt see anybody blowing smoke in anybody's face...i'll repeat what i said I WAS ACTUALLY THERE TODAY!!! i was in central square where they were...just hanging out...and no smoke was blown in my face...looking from across the street or reading it in the newspaper or watching it on you tube doesnt count as BEING THERE!!!!

[Vorpalbite]

Did you see that video from the Pittsburgh G-20 Protests ??? Men in unmarked military uniforms forcing that protestor into an unmarked car ? ? ?

ITS TIME TO USE OUR GUNS !!!!

[chaserehn]

No its not time yet.

[RidleyReport]

It may never be time. Angry gunfire tends to grow the govt.

[chaserehn]

I hope you are right. But at some point you must say Their is a price I will not pay! Their is a line you will not cross!.

I hope to see you one day in the free state. Long move from Idaho.

[p00lman]

So police came in and arrested people who've been continually breaking the law.

Wow, what a shock!

[Vorpalbite]

I knew the city couldnt resist the revenue and the cops couldnt resist their own egos.

You can not protest anything in this society anymore, authorithy is far too arrogant

[txballoonman]

There will be no revenue for them.  Rich will not pay a fine.

[p00lman]

You do realize that the police have to uphold the law or they get fired/demoted/transferred. It's their job.

If you want to change the law, go into politics.

[RidleyReport]

"police have to uphold the law or they get fired/demoted/transferred."

That's what the quisling in Defiance said.

[p00lman]

I don't know what Defiance is.

Police don't get to pick and choose which laws to uphold, and neither do you.

[mcgrawtim123]

Where does the County get its money?

If you want real change, threaten the County's money supply.

[803honda]

Daily??? for real??? every day???

[CorrosionX3]

Winter will eventually stop your protesting :P

[txballoonman]

The first day I spent in NH was -7 degrees. Andrew Carroll was arrested for possession that day. It was an act of civil disobedience. The heart of corrupt government is colder than a NH winter. The weather will stop nothing.

[earthmother]

threat? LOL break the law, get arrested....dumbasses

as if this stupidity is going to do anything to further the cause....please, keep the idiots out, we have enough of our own homegrown as it is.

[nicko978]

Shut up or else!!!

There are such things as immoral laws and breaking them is not wrong. Like I have no right to say "shut up or else" to you. And you have the right not to listen.

[p00lman]

If you think a law is immoral, then go into politics and get it changed.

Although I'd like you to explain what is immoral about banning drugs.

[nicko978]

My dad said the same thing. I am going back to school to get into politics. But I'll still refuse to abide by any unethical or immoral laws. A soldier has the right to refuse unlawful orders well citizens do to.

Nothins is immoral about banning drugs. I don't use.. and I'm not supporting the free pot. Pot is so easily available do it in your own home for all I care. But I support anyone's right to peaceful assemble.

[nicko978]

lol its late im tired my comment reflects it.. I don't support the legalization of marijuana. But I don't care if you're doing it in your own home and not exposing others to it. Especially children. Smoking i bad for health.. increased healthcare bill etc.. snoke but dont encourage other to do so.. keep it to yourself

[p00lman]

A soldier has the right to refuse orders, because it's not the law that he follow them. That's a terrible analogy. Try again.

So in other words, you agree that it's not an issue of morality.

[nicko978]

Right after i posted that I realized what i said lol. Thats why i replied to myself saying I was very tried. Kinda put my foot in my mouth on that one LOL..

[p00lman]

Ah, I didn't see your second post.

You know what I find surprising? That smoking cigarettes in public isn't considered a crime, because one could argue that it harms those around the smoker.

[nicko978]

Exactly and I don't agree with smoking in public. Do it in your own home for all i care. Do you think we should allow teachers to smoke on campus? no you don't.. so why allow smokers to blow smoke around our kids in any public zone?

[AnarchyInYourHead]

I don't think they care to smoke in public, but they are in this case in order to make a statement that needs to be made. LOTS of people are smoking it in private now but it's time to challenge all the fear-mongering and bullshit that's fueling a violent drug war that makes victims of innocent people who haven't harmed anyone and don't deserve to be labeled criminals.

[nicko978]

points taken. ty

[profreewill]

So you think we should arrest people who smoke cigarettes in public. You think we should use the law, to force people to not do something because you simply don't like it.

[nicko978]

not because i dont like it.. becauise its common sense. Its unhealthy. You don't want some disease ridden bum pissing on you do you? not because you dont like it.. because it unhealthy. HAHA

[profreewill]

So you think the government should arrest people for unhealthy things? Should people be arrested because they eat bigmacs in public. To tell, how unhealthy you think pot is? How many deaths do you think are associated with pot each year? Well I'll give you a hint, more people died because of aspirin than pot....

[nicko978]

in public places yes.. if you were eatinga bigmac in public and forcinmg me to eat it too its the same as blowing smoke in my face. No deaths except maybe suicide because pot is a depressant.. i got really depressed and lazy when i smoked and luckily i stopped. and then there are driving under the influence deaths to consider.

[profreewill]

For one post try not to mix two thoughts. Alcohol & Pot (two very different things) Alcohol = tons of deaths a year, from drunk driving, alcohol poisoning, et al. Pot = none! No deaths. See I like facts, not speculation, speculation is what you are doing with your suicide comment. You have no proof so you just throw that in for good measure, and people who have not done the research may be swayed by that. But people who have done even a little research know that that is not a viable argument.

[profreewill]

So rather than take responsibility for your own thoughts you blame the weed. Typical! Zero research, blame someone other than yourself. I wonder what all the other people who have suicidal thoughts and aren't on pot blame? My freind took his own life, he was under the influence of Gatorade, and sleeping pills. With your way of thinking we should ban both.

[profreewill]

Maybe you wouldn't have been paranoid if it wasn't illegal. But now you want to continue the failed war on drugs because you were paranoid. Again, you are blaming the pot rather than taking any responsibility. That's like someone saying beer make me an asshole. I'm guessing you had a tendency towards being an asshole before the beer. But we are not talking about beer we are talking about pot. Alcohol is truly dangerous pot on the other hand is pretty darn safe.

[inertia186]

Reminds me of voting.

[garybno1]

nicko ur so full of shit smokin weed didnt make you depressed n if it did its not the pot its j that ur a sad little pussy

[Bioreek]

maybe your just a suicidal guy

[profreewill]

Your post is very telling about how you feel about the less fortunate. You a) feel that they are disease ridden (a sad, and very misinformed view point. b) you feel they are bums. The definition of bum. "a vagrant. • a lazy or worthless person." P.S. stop putting haha and LOL at the end of your comments. Unless you've made a joke or written something funny.

[nicko978]

wtf dont try to take that out of context.  and i said haha at the end because i basically said you like bums pissing on you but wont let it happen cuz its unhealthy.. dont turn this into a flaming comment fest cuz il just leave. i thought we were having a decent debate and your aargument have provoked some thought and maybe persuade me a little.. dont flame.. LOLOLOLOLOL

[profreewill]

Sorry!

[WillahG]

Banning drugs is most definitely immoral. We have 2 million non violent drug offenders in jail. You think that throwing non violent pot smokers in jail with violent criminals is moral? Not only is banning drugs immoral it's hypocritical everyone knows alcohol and tobacco are worse then pot. And the fact that you "non drug users" (who I'm sure do drugs they just happen to be legal drugs) would try and tell another person what to do with there own body is fucking disgusting and inhumane.

[nicko978]

hey i agree with the minor drug offenders argument. But drugs are bad. I know first hand dozens of friends and family members who ruined themselves because of drugs. Don't even try and play the "drugs arent bad card" because its ignorant LOL. Would you be ok with your children smoking cigs and shooting up? ofcourse no right minded parent would be ok w/ it. drugs also = bad health which means increased medical bills all around..

[AnarchyInYourHead]

That's quite a sweeping statement. No I don't want kids smoking tobacco or shooting up, but I don't think cannabis in moderation is a bad drug in the big scheme of things. Tylenol doesn't seem too bad in moderation. Alcohol seems pretty bad to me, but it's legal, so it's often used when safer drugs would be a better option. All drugs aren't bad, in all cases. Some are worse than others. Drug abuse is bad. The drug war is worse. Cannabis is one of the better ones, frankly.

[profreewill]

I love how you lump all drugs into one a category and then to add to your manipulation you add in the whole kid bit. We've been told that steroids are bad, but not if you have Aids, not if you have Crones disease. Pot is a great drug for people with chronic pain. But you call the informed ignorant. No LOL!

[CorrosionX3]

Statutes are not laws.

What will further the cause is people claiming their rights, as they are doing. When an officer talks to you, you stay polite and say "Hello Mr Peace Officer, did you witness me breaching the peace or are you here to protect me?" ... Remind them of their oath as peace officers, and enforcing statutes on non-consenting peaceful people IS BREACHING THE PEACE

[p00lman]

Exactly.

[RidleyReport]

see video descrip for link to new video.... a sit-in is occurring in a restricted area outside Keene PD.
