The Keene PD would become the laughing stock of the country. Public opinion is very powerful, and this will garner positive attention, not negative attention.
Do you realize that the FSP is the laughing stock of NH?
Serious question: why do you frequent these forums and follow the movement so closely if you believe it to be worthy of being a laughing stock?
It not a matter of what I think, it's about public opinion. People in NH only hear about the "crazy freestaters". But like I said, most people in NH don't know anything about the FSP. But Keene is a "small town", and I'm sure "the powers that be" are having a good laugh over the antics.
The "movement" is like a reality show on the internet. Kinda.
