Freeman said this movement started early in 2009 when a lady named Lauren Caniro started a free-state project and would help local citizens from getting parking shrink wrapping machine tickets. If she paid for someone s meter, she would leave a note in an envelope stating her kind gesture that the person s meter ran out, but she saved them from a ticket. Evidently, Freeman said, over the years activists have picked up the ball and rolled with it.
Freeman shrink wrapping machine said what distinguishes shrink wrapping machine them from being just anyone paying someone s meter is the card they leave behind for the driver. Instead of the envelope and letter, shrink wrapping machine it s like a calling card, a little business card with a picture on it. Freeman said it contains shrink wrapping machine their information and something like Your meter expired, but we saved you!
According to Freeman, once people see this gesture, most really appreciate it. He said a lot of people will donate to Free Keene. He said everything that comes in for the group, comes in from donations and from people who appreciate what the members were doing. He said now people are out applying these actions on a daily basis. He said he hasn t personally been out robin-hooding every day, but he has gone out a handful of times this year.
Ginger Hill, Keene parking operations manager, said that there have been several altercations with the free-staters, and that some of the citizens don t like theirs actions and they have approached the members and made their feelings known.
Still, Hill said most of the parking enforcement officers can recognize a Robin Hooder when they see them and know them by name. But then there s some that come out occasionally, I don t know if it s new recruits, some kind of come and go, Hill said. She said before December 2012 people were just going out occasionally, that they weren t harassing the police. shrink wrapping machine All the activities they ve been doing now are new, Hill said.
Freeman stated the first of the month every two months the court has arraignments requiring defendants to come in who have never hurt anybody, such as KSC students who were arrested for carrying a container shrink wrapping machine full of alcohol from one house to another, not for hurting someone.
They include everything from city council meetings, to social Sundays. Social Sundays are held at a local bar. Freeman said about 15-20 people shrink wrapping machine will come and talk about different things. We re a bunch of people that have a similar political mind-set that favor freedom and like to discuss. There s no structure to it, it s very laid back, said Freeman. Freeman went on to say that the website Free Keene is a blog he created with other a dozen bloggers. He said some aren t Free State project participants.
Freeman said has accepted hugs, money and a lot of words of appreciation from people when robin-hooding . However, he admitted shrink wrapping machine some people don t like their actions, and he said these people tend to be family members of those working for the city parking enforcers, or people who have heard rumors about the Robin Hooders.
People think we re harassing the parking enforcers and we are not. It hurts us when the city lies about us. It causes misunderstanding. I think overall the people enjoy the fee being paid, Freeman said.
