Man arrested for flyers in IRS officeNews from the Free State
Project
I've been watching the Free State Project off and
on (more off than on), every once in a while something like this
happens.
Keene, NH resident and Free State Project participant Russell Kanning is on a mission. Wearing overalls, a straw hat and carrying a pitchfork, the thirty-five year old libertarian activist is out to expel the Federal Government from his city. And, despite his lack of sophisticated weaponry, he has triggered quite a response from Washington. Plain clothed officers and uniformed Department of Homeland Security agents were present in force to meet him at noon today as he appeared at Keene’s IRS office with several supporters. But it wasn’t his pitchfork or his friends that had agents seeing red, it was his handful of….flyers. “I want them to quit their jobs,” he says, referring to the one or two IRS agents that staff the part-time office on Main Street. His flyers contain a form which he is asking IRS agents to sign, pledging they will stop working for the agency because of what he considers the “evil things” it funds. He was arrested for handing out flyers and wanting to talk to IRS agents. Right. No one nervous there, nope. In all fairness though, if it had been a business and he had been asked to leave, it probably would have qualified as trespassing. Nice piece of theatre though.
