[CANCELLED] Tilting at the City of Manchester to release Big Mike from jail

When

4:20 PM on April 20, 2013

Where

The State House
Concord, New Hampshire

Why

Marijuana prohibition has gone on long enough. The United States jails more people than any other nation—both in absolute numbers and as a proportion of the population—and the vast majority of those people are in jail for the victimless, consensual “crime” of consuming a substance that the government doesn’t approve of. Numerous attempts to pass legislation relaxing marijuana prohibition have failed. An additional tactic is clearly called for.

Some people attend the rallies to protest the current state of affairs. Some people smoke at the rallies as an act of civil disobedience. And some people have simply given up caring what the government’s “laws” say they must not do.

[CANCELLED] Tilting at the City of Manchester to release Big Mike from jail

Who:
Don Quixote de la Shire
anyone who joins him
and onlookers

What:
Tilting at Manchester City Hall, District Court, police station, and jail in order to free pro-freedom activist Big Mike from Valley Street jail.

When:
Sunday, 2010-01-24 12:00

Where:
Don Quixote will start his ride at the spot in Veteran’s Park, where Mike and Brian were arrested last week. We will continue to City Hall, District Court, and the police station. If necessary, the knight errant will tilt his Lance of Levity and Axe of Anarchy against the doors of the jail.

Why:
Because we cannot sit by while our friend Mike sits in jail for months. Mike committed no crime against the inhabitants of this city. He was celebrating freedoms prohibited by the government thugs that call themselves the City of Manchester. After being detained against his will for twenty minutes last Saturday, he was told by a cop he could leave. As he passed by, they brushed up against each other. The cops then arrested him. He is being held in jail until a trial in April for “assaulting an officer.” If the city of Manchester releases him, then we can drop this matter.
