Thread: Lemonade Protester Gets Assaulted, Then Threatened With Wire

This video has it all. A cocky lemonade protester with a camera. A pushy pseudo-bureaucrat thinking he owns the street. And a bumbling cop who creates his own laws.

It starts when activist Garret Ean sat on a public sidewalk during a farmer’s market in Concord, New Hampshire to sell lemonade during Saturday’s Lemonade Liberation Day.

A man approached claiming he owned the street, ordering him to pack up and leave.

The man identified himself as the president of the Concord Farmer’s Market, which apparently had a permit to operate on the street that day.

The man, whom Ean identified as Steve Blasdell, ordered Ean to turn off the camera.

Ean instead engaged him in a debate about what constituted vending.

At 2:48, Blasdell shut down Ean’s camera, but Ean turned it right back on.

That was when Ean turned from lemonade activist into photography rights activist, claiming he was now “a member of the press.â€

entertaining story.

Link please?

Yea and Ean was on the sidewalk.

Ironically, placing a sign on a street sign, may be a code violation and a public safety issue.
