The Nashua 420s continued today in response to the multiple arrests that have happened over the past week, despite police attempts to intimidate protesters into backing down.
Bill D. reported that two cruisers showed up at the rally today; the cops stood around watching everyone, and chatted with one individual who was sitting in the park, most likely a plainclothes officer or informant. As of presstime, no arrests have been made, although the police did object to the use of the bullhorn, claiming there was a complaint. Bill D. refused to identify himself when questioned, and they eventually left.
From the Porc411 call from Ryan M. that confirmed the rally was taking place today:
Hello, Porcupines. We’re now going on the fifth straight day of 420 celebrations here in Nashua, and I really don’t have any intention of stopping. Over the last week, Nashua PD has violently kidnapped several of my friends, which has angered me greatly. But, you know what? I’m tired of feeling animosity toward those who would do us harm. Today is a fresh new day and I’m in a fantastic mood. So, I just plan on going out to Library Hill today and have a peaceful party, hold some signs, and hope not to get bothered by anyone.
If you’re in the Nashua area today, say around, oh, 4:20, I hope you’ll join us. Kellie and I will be out there, and we’re going to have a great time. Peace.
