New Hampshire Police Seek to Arrest Free State Activist for Gardening without a Permit

(LCL) KEENE, NEW HAMPSHIRE – Local police are currently waiting for Free-State activist Jesse Moloney, better known as “Anarcho-Jesse”, to turn himself in on an outstanding bench warrant. The bench warrant issued by the Keene District Court stems from Mr. Moloney’s failure to pay the initial fine imposed by Justice Burke during Mr. Moloney’s trial. In July of this year, Mr. Moloney was found guilty on charges of “Excavating without a permit on city-land”.
In an attempt to expose the fallacious misnomer of “public” land and as protest regarding the necessity of a “food-cooperative feasibility study” commissioned by the city at a cost to taxpayers of approximately five-thousand dollars, Mr. Moloney began excavating a plot of “public” land downtown thereby resulting in his arrest this past April.
Despite challenging the validity of the Keene ordinance, by offering the lack of New Hampshire being a home rule state, whereby cities operate only under jurisdiction extended unto them by the state, Justice Burke found him guilty. In his ruling, Justice Burke adjudicated that the state statute did not intend to overturn the existing city ordinance, and as such, imposed a $120.00 fine upon Mr. Moloney. The current bench warrant resulted in his failure to render payment of the fine unto the court.
