The only complaint I have about the behavior of the activists is that they repeatedly laughed aloud in court when the judge, prosecution, or witnesses, said anything disagreeable. To be honest, it was very difficult to contain my own laughter on many occasions, and I will not say that it is “wrong” to laugh at […]
Today is day 2 of the Greenfield, Mass trial of Pete Eyre and Ademo Freeman for recording police officers in the course of their duties. And it started off with a whimper. The judge, without any further written order, has allegedly reduced the amount of transparency allowed in this trial. At first, he allowed only […]
You’re trying to say ‘nobody got hurt’ so you shouldn’t be held accountable for whatever the infraction is. By that logic, You probably feel the punks in Worcester shooting the gun at the park should be left alone because nobody got hurt.

Be sure to consult CopBlock.org and research how to deal with police ahead of time. You may even want to call the […]
In this chapter of that larger tragicomedy, lawmakers whose campaigns are underwritten by agribusinesses have used billions of taxpayer dollars to subsidize those agribusinesses’ specific commodities (corn, soybeans, wheat, etc.) that are the key ingredients of unhealthy food. Not surprisingly, the subsidies have manufactured a price inequality that helps junk food undersell nutritious-but-unsubsidized foodstuffs like […]
This was not “the law’ that shut down Skylar Roberts and company. These are thugs. Every human being is free to engage in economic activity as she or he sees fit. When other people force your decisions upon you, that is exploitation and slavery. The bottom line here is that two or three big people […]
