Unofficial History of Drama in the Free State

[Turd Ferguson]

Really, I dont care what they do.

Just curious though.

Why do they always pick goofy shit to do to protest the govt? Chalking, dancing, titty painting, etc.

Seems you would get more benefit protesting laws that actually piss off a larger percentage of the population. Normal shit, like property taxes and things of that nature. Things that piss EVERYONE off.

Hard to get any sympathy from the general public because the pigs broke up your little dance party, since MOST people dont even bother with that shit. I'm assuming thats why they do this stuff right? To get the "masses" on their side? If thats not the goal, why even bother? All the freaks are already on board with it. Mission accomplished. This is just bad PR.


I dont get it, and if I dont get it, do you really think you'll get any support from lifetime democrat/republican types?

Think about WTF you're doing.

They think that picking the more absurd rules that the government creates and breaking them, forcing the issue to the point where someone is arrested, will get people to see how insane the system is.

Say, getting arrested for picking your nose or something proves that we're in a police state.

Everyone else sees them and thinks. "Well, that's a really stupid and bizarre hill to die on."

Yup.


I have no problem using protest as a tool. Its a good thing. Just seems they are using it in a sorta childish way.


Never stir coffee with a hammer. People will think youre nuts.

Were they looking for a Spartacus moment where everyone claims to own the equipment?

Presumably... a bit like Ian waiting for all the activists to stand in front of the cop cars.

What's facepalm about this, is that if they'd gone to the City of Keene and paid the $5 (or whatever it is in Keene) they could have held a public gathering, with music and stuff, and probably free use of city power, too.

Doing it "without asking permission" is pretty much synonymous with doing it with the expectation of getting arrested. Then people act all shocked and indignant that there were arrests.

I'm not saying there's anything morally justifiable about so-called "public" property.
I am saying, when NH natives see stuff like this, and see the reaction of the FKers, what they take away is that they (a) do NOT identify with these people, and (b) want nothing to do with these people or whatever philosophy motivates them to do these things

 

Be sure and ask for permission, activists!

Reminds me of when those Tea Party people, sometime last year, cancelled their rallly because they couldn't get a city permit to protest that day. 

Way to sock it to the man, guys !!!!

Perhaps if you are going to run for some kind of office here in New Hampshire it might behoove you to take some time and effort to clean up your online activity.  There are services that will do it for you apparently.

This is why some of us become politicians and others of us just buy politicians.

At $100/year, some aren't in it for the money.
Really.

That fails to account for the power and platform to push legislation that is personally financially beneficial, like that rep who pushed legislation to regulate hair stylists and who happened to own the only schools who could get you a NH permit to cut and style hair.

We had that happen here not too long ago. One more taxi service was allowed a license, out of 12 applicants, in a town of 80,000 people. Guess who's MOM was on city council?

Nothing investigated, nothing questioned about it......officially that is. Nothing to see here folks......move along.
