Derrick J's Victimless Crime Spree

Derrick J is an activist who moved to New Hampshire for the Free State Project. He wasted no time here, quickly getting involved with projects around the state, and choosing to live free despite the tyranny around him. His boldness caught up with him, as he began racking up charges in Keene for all sorts of civilly disobedient behavior. Derrick J’s Victimless Crime Spree tells the story of Derrick’s time here in the Shire, leading up to his sixty day jail stint and eventual exile tour. With a two year suspended jail sentence hanging over his head, it is safer to spend the next twenty four months outside of NH. Embedded below is video that I recorded with Derrick on July 20, his final day in Keene before departing the Shire.
