Maskless political protests – well over 100 people at events in Concord and Keene

Obey masks patch

I received the following from a reader reporting from the Keene maskless rally. I also had reports coming to me from the ReOpen maskless rally as well. In all of the reports, I noticed something VERY absent.

It went well.The guy who organized it, the guy from Plymouth, he said he put about 5 minutes of effort into it and shared it with about 6 people, “and look at what we have here from just that!” so he was happy. I’d say it was a couple hundred people. He said with a greater organizational effort, we can get a few thousand together and head to Concord next. This is his plan.

I met Jerry Sickels, his card says he works for the NHGOP, he said that was a good turnout on such short notice in Keene, a city that is now 2 to 1 Democrat rule now…
We got plenty of horn beepers too. He explained to me that Keene’s new Mayor, George Hansel, is more right of center than what he can really get away with in such a strongly Democrat city and still get elected- so that was interesting.

Karen Testerman was great, she said everything we wanted to hear; that we are under attack by our own government, none of this is legal, and all the usual that we all say here. She’s very personable, plain spoken, and there is nothing to not like about her.  She then spoke of the fallout of this, the economy, suicides… she certainly gets it all and didn’t say one single thing that was off or wrong. I was impressed.

She has a degree in microbiology she said, so she was able to explain some science to the group about how totally wrong all this is and that much of what we are doing is not correct at all.
She said at this point, we should not be voting in the people that have done this to us- it’s certainly *that bad.* So she is an option and she seems good, level headed and she comes from a Military family (her husband and all her kids, actually). I don’t know this lady, but she is really looking like the right person for the right moment that we find ourselves in today- having a science degree in a fake medical pandemic is a real bonus I think.

I met a group from a local Catholic school that were there. They, too, were expressing a lot of concern about how safe we all feel living down here in an area that is so clearly falling to the Left. A lady that is a teacher there said that there is not one family at school that doesn’t have this on their minds. She said their young adult kid has now settled out in <redacted> and they are actually happy about that. They just returned from out there and they were certainly there visiting but also wondering if they’d like it out there too.

This was a group of about 8 people and they all said the number one concern is Education that has failed so badly in our State (most all the students that come to their school walk in with terrible stories, she said), the effects of this mask stuff on the kids, and the Left lean that the state has had over their lives. These were all people about late 50s I’d say.

It was a great day, sadly though, I doubt it has any impact on the people running Keene. But we made an effort anyway and I think a lot of people made some connections…that was good.

I was also in contact with people about the Concord rally (I had roofing contractors yesterday so I did not attend). Over 100 people attended that rally as well.

So, what was missing?  Something that Gov Sununu just issued yet another Emergency Order on:

From Emergency Order 65 – An order authorizing assessments of civil penalties against businesses, organizations, entities, property owners, facility owners, organizers, and individuals who violate emergency orders (That’s everyone, in case you were wondering).

WHEREAS, in accordance with RSA 128, RSA 141-C, and RSA 147, local health officers are authorized to investigate, including inspecting sites on public and private property without the consent of the owners, all nuisances and other causes of danger to the public health;

The State, in the name of public health (Hygenic fascism), can do whatever the hell it wants, as warned. Should you decline or refuse, Order 65 outlines how you can be cited and fined.

Any business, organization, entity, property owner, facility owner, organizer, or individual that recklessly violates any Emergency Order, rule, or regulation issued under the State of Emergency shall be subject to civil penalties of up to $1,000 for each violation or day that a violation continues.

You can read Gov. Flununu’s entire order at the link,

So, were there any Law Enforcement at either of those two rallies? Why you ask? Sunoflu’s recent edict that ANY gathering of over 100 people MUST WEAR MASKS!

No. Not in uniform (and you can generally tell when State Troopers are in plain clothes – just look at their haircuts, their postures, their eyes, and bulges on their persons that aren’t ordinary (get your mind out of the gutter, people!). No one else running around with ID’s openly showing. And no one stopping people writing up “mask violations”.

Yet, two large sets of crowds.

Thus, the questions:

  • Was he just mouthing words just to shut up the Democrat yipping? Playing to the anti-base (as it were)? That he has no intention of enforcing this?
  • Is Sununu still playing the “political protests are fully protected under the First Amendment unimpeded by any means” – including people ignoring his now “you will wear masks or get cited” order?
  • Or is he getting ready to discriminate against only CERTAIN types of rallies?

More later.
