    This video explains the situation. It helps us understand why the charges were filed.

    Nice to see the DA is a reasonable person.
    Let them keep thinking Ron Paul supporters are just a little army. Every military strategy manual in the world has examples of the bad things that happen to arrogant commanders of massive armies that underestimate the enemy. They all lose. We will win because the human heart, despite its detractors, is meant for truth and freedom.

    Even the Union Leader editorialized against this crap.

    When is this nonsense going to end?
    Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi dropped the charge on Thursday. He said that the facts on the scene supported the reckless conduct charge, but that subsequent facts showed it was not justified. According to state statute, “A person is guilty of reckless conduct if he recklessly engages in conduct which places or may place another in danger of serious bodily injury.” Whom did Fleming supposedly endanger by firing into the lawn? A garden gnome?

    It is hard to see how this charge was ever justified. Law enforcement officials need to stop treating every display or discharge of a firearm by someone not in law enforcement as a criminally dangerous act.

    Yeah, it tells us that the Police do what any hysterical caller tells them to do. Good thing that these officers don't have to think on their own or evaluate the situation when they actually get to the scene.

    Mostly a quiet neighborhood.
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    Yup... like I said, if I was the responding officer, I would've only given him a briefing about warning shots and took the real criminal to jail.

    And that is were the story should have ended. Or never should have even started.
    In America today there remains two factions.
    The Federalist and the Anti-Federalist.
    Neither of the two dominating political parties belong to the latter.
    You can't be one and the other..

    Let me know please when your nearest neighbor wants to sell. We live in town and our neighbors suck goats.

    Lots of land available around the area,, prices are cheap.

    No Jobs though.
    Unless you work for the state.
