...Jarrod Ean-Dixon, longtime New Hampshire resident and a supporter of the Free State Project, was shot in an altercation over the Free State Project’s flag. The flag (pictured left), which is a play off of the Gadsden Flag, features a porcupine instead of a snake, along with the famous motto: “Don’t tread on me.” The porcupine is the symbol of the Free State Project due to its docile and defensive nature paired with its willingness to defend against aggressors when cornered. Ean-Dixon was at a social gathering where the flag was prominently displayed, and two guests engaged in a dispute with him, considering the altered porcupine version of the flag to be disrespectful. An altercation ensued and Ean-Dixon was shot multiple times...

SMGDH ... I don't even ... :(:mad:

[otherone]

Disturbing. I hope his recovery is speedy.
There is irony here as the violence ensued because of a flag.

[Brian4Liberty]

Crazy.

And the idiot also hit a female friend that they had brought to the party.


Michael Sirois of Chester is charged with shooting two people, and Jason Gerry of Sandown is charged with as an accessory to the crime, described in the following police narrative:

At approximately 2:20 a.m., officers responded to the area of 131 Amory St., across from the Manchester Fire Department Engine 6, for a report of shots fired. Upon arrival, they found firefighters treating a man exhibiting multiple gunshot wounds. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he remains in stable but critical condition. He was subsequently identified as Jarrod Ean-Dixon, 36, of Concord.

The resulting investigation revealed that those allegedly involved in the shooting of Ean-Dixon had fled in a vehicle. Responding officers searched the surrounding neighborhoods and located a vehicle that matched the description of the one that had fled. They stopped the vehicle, and its occupants were later identified as Michael Sirois, 22, of Chester; Jason Gerry, 21, of Sandown; and Kasondra Williams, 20, of Raymond. As Williams exited the vehicle, she exhibited a gunshot wound to her leg, so she was immediately transported to a local hospital for treatment. Williams has since been treated and released with a non-life threatening injury.

(Jeff Hastings)


MANCHESTER — Kristin Geiger was awoken early Saturday morning by three people, two men and a woman, having an argument outside on Amory Street, not far from her apartment building.

“There was a lot of shouting,” she said. Between the haze of sleep and wakefulness, she said it seemed as though the three argued for as long as 20 minutes. Then came the gunshots.

“I hit my husband and we both rolled onto the floor,” she said. Geiger said there had to be between five and 10 shots fired. “It sounded like they emptied a clip,” she said.

Police said the shooting happened at 2:22 a.m., across from the 134 Amory St. fire station. Jarrod Ean-Dixon, 36, of Concord, was shot several times, police said, and was taken to a hospital.

According to police, Ean-Dixon got into a heated argument with Michael Sirois, 22, of Chester, who was with Jason Gerry, 21, of Sandown and Kasondra Williams, 20, of Raymond.

Sirois, Gerry and Williams left the home after but due to car trouble, the three found themselves back in front of the home where Sirois and Gerry then engaged in a fight with Ean-Dixon.

Police said during the fight Sirois shot both Ean-Dixon and Williams.

Sgt. Loui said Sirois was the only one involved who was armed.

Manchester police said the argument was over a flag displayed at the residence that was considered by one of the suspects to be offensive.

The flag hanging in a window was the yellow, “Don’t Tread on Me” flag created by American colonial statesman and general Christopher Gadsden during the American Revolution. The Continental Marines and US Navy had adopted wide use of the flag, and more recently the tea party.

But the flag that started the Amory fight had a porcupine instead of the iconic rattlesnake.

“Mr. Sirois felt that was a desecration of the flag. He got very upset about it and the altercation ensued,” said Manchester Police Sgt. Ken Loui.

When police arrived, Geiger’s husband, Steven, went outside to see what was happening. He said workers across the street at Domino’s Pizza told him a woman in a white BMW was changing a tire as two guys on the corner at Cartier and Amory streets “scuffled on the ground.”

Steven Geiger said he only learned that a woman had been shot and that was through news reports.

“I presume she didn’t finish changing her tire because there’s one on the sidewalk,” he said, pointing to it.

Yellow crime tape cordoned off the sidewalk in front of closed storefronts at 129 Amory St. A Cornerstone Baptist Church sign is still affixed to the building, although the church has moved to Pinardville.

Late in the morning, two detectives inventoried and photographed evidence at the scene. Ten yellow markers crowded an area of the sidewalk. Yellow tape also cordoned off an area on the other side of the street, outside the pizza shop at 150 Amory St.

Ean-Dixon was transported to a local hospital and police said the shooting has left him in stable but critical condition.

After police stopped Sirois’ car, Williams was found to have a gunshot wound in the leg, was treated for it at the hospital and has since been released.

“The shooting of Ms. Williams was apparently as the result of reckless conduct with that firearm,” he said.

Sirois was arrested and has been charged with first-degree assault with a deadly weapon for the shooting of Ean-Dixon and second-degree assault with a deadly weapon for the shooting of Williams. Sirois was being held at Hillsborough County jail on $100,000 bail, and is expected to be arraigned on Monday at 9th Circuit Manchester District Court.

Jason Gerry was also arrested and charged with second-degree assault for his actions during the fight. As the driver of the car, Gerry was also charged with driving while intoxicated, driving without giving proof, and operating after suspension.

Gerry was being held at Hillsborough County jail on $6,000 bail, and he too will be arraigned Monday.

Manchester police stress the public is no longer in danger but asks for anyone with information about this incident to contact the Detective Unit at 792-5500 or 792-5500 or Manchester Police Crimeline at 624-4040.

Meanwhile in light of this latest violence, the Geigers are looking to leave.

“All I know is we are looking for a new apartment,” Steven Geiger said.

West Side shooting resulted after argument over Free State porcupine flag

By: Carol Robidoux (http://manchesterinklink.com/author/carol-robidoux/) | 13 hours ago


MANCHESTER, NH — Two men are in custody following an early-morning shooting Nov. 5 on the city’s West Side (http://manchesterinklink.com/police-investigate-double-shooting-west-side/) that left two people injured. The shooting appears to have begun as a dispute over a flag, police say.
Michael Sirois of Chester is charged with shooting two people, and Jason Gerry of Sandown is charged with as an accessory to the crime, described in the following police narrative:
At approximately 2:20 a.m., officers responded to the area of 131 Amory St., across from the Manchester Fire Department Engine 6, for a report of shots fired. Upon arrival, they found firefighters treating a man exhibiting multiple gunshot wounds. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he remains in stable but critical condition. He was subsequently identified as Jarrod Ean-Dixon, 36, of Concord.
The resulting investigation revealed that those allegedly involved in the shooting of Ean-Dixon had fled in a vehicle. Responding officers searched the surrounding neighborhoods and located a vehicle that matched the description of the one that had fled. They stopped the vehicle, and its occupants were later identified as Michael Sirois, 22, of Chester; Jason Gerry, 21, of Sandown; and Kasondra Williams, 20, of Raymond. As Williams exited the vehicle, she exhibited a gunshot wound to her leg, so she was immediately transported to a local hospital for treatment. Williams has since been treated and released with a non-life threatening injury.
According to Manchester Police Det. Kenneth Loui, the ongoing investigation currently indicates that Sirois, Gerry, Williams and others had been socializing at the residence of 131 Amory St., and that an argument ensued between Sirois, Gerry, and Ean-Dixon over a flag that was displayed at the residence, a flag that Sirois found offensive.

Police say a shooting resulted after an argument over a flag with an image like the one on the right, featuring a porcupine. Alleged shooter Michael Sirois felt it was a desecration of the flag on the left.

According to Det. Loui, it was a flag associated with the Free State Project featuring a porcupine and the words “Don’t Tread on Me.” According to Det. Loui, Sirois felt the flag was a desecration of its original form, also known as the “Gadsden flag,” which features the same words but with a snake.
Sirois, Gerry and Williams subsequently left the residence as a result of the argument. However, due to car trouble, Sirois, Gerry, and Williams found themselves back in front of the residence where Sirois and Gerry then engaged in a physical altercation with Ean-Dixon. This altercation precipitated the shootings of both Ean-Dixon and Williams, by Sirois.
Sirois was arrested and has been charged with first-degree assault with a deadly weapon for the shooting of Ean-Dixon and second-degree assault with a deadly weapon for the shooting of Williams. Sirois is being held at Hillsborough County House of Correction on $100,000 cash or surety bail, and is expected to be arraigned on Monday, November 7, at 9th Circuit Manchester District Court.
Jason Gerry was also arrested and charged with second-degree assault for his actions during the physical altercation with Ean-Dixon. Additionally, as the driver of the above vehicle at the time of the stop, Gerry was charged with driving while intoxicated, driving without giving proof, and operating after suspension. Gerry is being held at Hillsborough County House of Correction on $6,000 cash or surety bail, and is also expected to be arraigned on Monday, November 7, at 9th Circuit Manchester District Court.


The investigation into the above matter continues; however, there is no ongoing threat to public safety.

hmmmm

[Zippyjuan]

Democrats are....unhinged nutcases who pretend to be peaceful.

Doesn't sound like Democrats. They wouldn't get excited over that flag.


and two guests engaged in a dispute with him, considering the altered porcupine version of the flag to be disrespectful.

It is more symbolic to conservatives.

[donnay]

*Sigh* So very sad.

[TheTexan]

Over a flag?!?!? WTF?

I get where he's coming from.

I'd totally lose my shit too, if someone insulted the US flag in front of me.

[oyarde]

I get where he's coming from.

I'd totally lose my $#@! too, if someone insulted the US flag in front of me.

I would not notice , but since you mentioned it , the porcupine is kind of lame .

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

Doesn't sound like Democrats. They wouldn't get excited over that flag.



It is more symbolic to conservatives.



I doubt it. A conservative is not going to react to Gadsden like that.

There's a lot missing in the story. It's like these embellishing stories that say a husband shot his wife over lumpy mash potatoes. They are trying to be cute to sell stories, but never dig deeper about 15 years of deep marital problems. The guy in the story no more got shot over a flag than someone gets shot over potatoes.

I'll bet a cyber nickel that a discussion ensued about politics or the election. Maybe it got personal.

[dannno]

Doesn't sound like Democrats. They wouldn't get excited over that flag.
.

Heh, they get pretty excited over the Confederate flag.

Man this is so insane. So sorry Michael. :( What the f kind of psychopath is going to try and murder someone over their taste in flags? SMDH

Obsession with idols is so, *ahem*, manly.

NAP? Ain't no flesh and blood got time for that.

Hope your friend recovers fully.

[PierzStyx]

Over a flag?!?!? WTF?

Why are people so surprised that someone was shot because of a flag? American soldiers shoot people because of their flag everyday.

[CaptainAmerica]

Doesn't sound like Democrats. They wouldn't get excited over that flag.

I thought it took place in a democrat convention of some sort

Who was the shooter? Just wonder of what identifiable ilk they were, if any. It's usually lefties who lose their shit like this, though most are too phaggy to carry a gun.

Glad he wasn't killed and all my best for a full recovery.

World's going piecemeal crazy.
