Unofficial History of Drama in the Free State

It's not that I agree with the rule, but that's kinda of how stuff works.  You study up on something like this.

Millions of words of laws on the books just in NH and federal laws blow that away.

GET BUSY READING!

You don't need to know all the laws, just the ones that apply to you.

Anyway, I don't have a problem not getting arrested. If you are getting arrested all the time because you don't know the laws, you are doing something wrong.

Everybody does things that might get them in trouble with the law.
Some people honestly don't realize they are violating a statute, and cops act thuggish and arrest them.

Some self-described "liberty activists" intentionally do things that common sense would suggest might violate statute, are confrontational (or passive-aggressive) with the cop, and then act surprised when they get arrested.

The latter group feel passionately that they are on the front lines working for freedom.
They are not, however.

act surprised when they get arrested.

Key word emphasized.

[dalebert]

Well in this case there really is nothing.  They are arbitrarily arresting people for something that's not against the law and they haven't been able to show a law or even an order that's signed by a real person with the authority to impose an order.

Arbitrarily, as in

Anyone who thinks they know what laws apply to them is a fool.

It is in this context that "passive-aggressive" is bullshit. If they were minding their own business instead of fucking with people trying to be free, there would be NO aggression of ANY kind. The suggestion that the VICTIM of the aggression is being (passively) aggressive is the seed of the state's bullshit WRT "victimless crimes."

Chris Lopez has fractured her spine

Her deck collapsed and she was airlifted to Mass General.  She's in surgery now.

That's rude, man.

I like Seth and Chris both.\

People with a sense of compassion are invited to help:

Dennis, did you forget that this is the sandbox for trolls?
Compassion? You'll find more at /b/.
This whole thread is devoted to ridiculing others.

/that said, I feel for Seth and Chris. I hope she doesn't have permanent damage. I heard that the spine wasn't severed, and am waiting with bated breath for updates.

As you can tell, I don't like Seth, so I make jokes about him. Seth doesn't like me, so he tries to get me arrested. Seth is a dick. His wife getting hurt doesn't change that.

If I had to choose Chris or Seth getting hurt, I would pick Seth.

When Pat McCotter had brain aneurysm, I made a joke about Seth on NHunderground. That is what got me banned there.

[BonerJoe]

I would have donated if Seth wasn't such a cunt.

[sillyperson]

I honestly wish you could see firsthand how much Seth has done to reduce the size & scope of NH government. He's truly in his own element there, and I am sure will gladly attest to that when he is finally NOT dealing with the immediate life-changing trauma and someday catches up on this thread.

In your case blackie, I think he acted (likely even over-reacted) to a perceived threat that was either not there, not credible, or both. Er, neither. Yeah.

Anyway... believe it or not, Seth has pulled the NH House Republicans farther toward Libertarianism than some ostensible libertarians who've been there for decades.

So, if you're not a Freak Stater you can get away with anything? I see.
