Judging by the number of people not affiliated with the Freekeene.com people, todays smokeoff was our most successful rally/protest ever. 
The police, (2) both stopped, waited around for a bit, then left.   ;D
I heard estimates as high as 80-100 people throughout the half hour or so this went on.  (that number seems high, but this still had a large number of people there.  Union Leader article on yesterdays smokeoff.

This is being promoted as a daily event at 4:20 in the afternoon. 
We would love to have libertarian activists there to have the massive turnout needed to deter (peacefully) any police aggression as well as help influence the direction.

I believe 80 is the most counted at one time, but people were coming and going which is where the 100 estimate comes from.

I think we've reached a turning point: neither of this week's UL articles mentioned/creditedblamed Free Staters for these gatherings.

The movement in Keene is long past being a Free Stater movement. The locals are getting more and more involved. We are little more than seeds. I always associate with Free Keene. Not particularly proud of the FSP these days. Much more interested in branding Free Keene. Sorry, just finished Moon is a Harsh Mistress and still lapse into kind of talking like a loonie.

I counted 85 people at the height of the event today.
