KEENE, NH – Several activists found themselves at Keene District Court the day after the Porcupine Freedom Festival. Rich Angell was on trial because the State claimed that he is required to register with them before he can travel on their road monopoly. Rich Paul was there for charges of criminal trespass and criminal contempt.

During Angell’s trial, Beau Davis was kidnapped and caged for wearing a hat inside the courtroom. Before “Judge” Burke made note of the hat and ordered Beau to remove it, I wasn’t even aware that the soft-spoken activist was in the room. Burke compared his court to a funeral and religious service and demanded an offering of respect in the form of hat removal. Beau declined to remove his CopBlock.org hat and refused to assist in his kidnapping.

The video above was live-streamed yesterday morning and shows activists questioning the court bailiffs who kidnapped a peaceful person. Despite the bailiffs’ unauthorized orders for activists to leave the court lobby, an officer of the Keene Police Department reassures us that we can stay, and agrees to answer questions to those with or without cameras. Hannah Hoffman asks the Law Enforcer if he would have arrested Rosa Parks for her act of civil disobedience and he admits that he would, despite it being an effective way to create change.

He admitted to having a different philosophy than many of the concerned community members but refused to elaborate on what that might be. YouTube commenter Mike for Liberty posted that he believes “his philosophy is? violence.”
