I say we take the oil. I don't think people realize the super-crisis mode the North Country is in. When you talk about the cost of fuel oil and how it hits a family, our average family income is half what it is down in southern New Hampshire.

What went on between McKay and Kenney before the shooting?

Re: What went on between McKay and Kenney before the shooting?

christopher-king.blogspot.com/2007/07/kingcast-open-letter-to-union-leader.html
....which notes that even Floyd's son said Liko did not run McKay over until he had been shot. Didja' know there was a bullet hole in the windscreen?
Anyway, we've interviewed neighbors of Fox Hill and they said nothing of note in over 10 years has ever happened there. It is in a quiet, very residential neighborhood and is simply a trailhead. That's why we just demanded the police reports relative to Fox Hill from Chief Montminy, who attempts to scare me away with an overtime charge -- which is clearly illegal.
Here's Junior Floyd's sworn statement:
christopher-king.blogspot.com/2007/07/kingcast-observations-on-greg-floyd-jr.html
"They had stopped in front of his arm the first time. They didn't actually hit the officer. Then they backed up to here and at that time my dad got out and tried to pull him to prevent him from running him over again" [KingCast says wait a minute: Run him over again??? There was absolutely nothing to keep Liko from running McKay over the first time -- but he didn't. Liko was just trying to get the hell out of there.] They backed up to here and the car went rushing forward and my dad shot at the driver and it hit him and made him stop. The front end of the car ended up over the officer's chest."
Seems entirely possible that Liko was just trying to get the hell outta' dodge, not run McKay over. Is it possible that Floyd just cracked him one because he had shot his buddy?
And Senior Floyd's:
A: "[T]his guy's trying to load and this guy's all mixed up or whatever so I kinda lean my elbow into his adam's apple and just shoot the other guy."
Q: "So you actually put the gun inside the window I mean is the window open?
A: "Oh yah the window was open."
Q: "Now I just want to clarify were you actually touching the passenger?"
A: "Yah... I was trying to stretch my hand in there and make sure [Caleb] stayed back."
That's a bald-faced lie. Watch the video. Caleb's window is CLEARLY up, and the official report clearly notes at p. 26
"The passenger side widow was in the fully up position but the glass was in fragments."
In fact you can clearly see Caleb's window up at 19:15:37 as the Tahoe ramming starts, you then see both of Liko's hands in the air in a classic "Stop it, WTF????" gesture and Caleb's window is still clearly up as they roll out of view at 19:16:32. Floyd shot the window out without saying a word and Caleb ducked to avoid the shot. Someone wrote in to me in a recent post, without any substance whatsoever and said this blog was full of "fairy tales."
No Sir, but the State's explanations are indeed poppycock:
Page 7 of the official report hard copy: [Floyd told the driver to stop. He said to the driver, 'Stop;' 'Put it down or, you're gonna die," and "Leave it alone, you know you want to live." He told the driver whatever came into his mind because he thought he could convince the driver to let the gun go so he would not have to shoot him."
Sorry, not only do you get disbarred for that Kelly, you go straight to hell. And note how Floyd neglects to mention that he shot Liko from the front in the first place as his son clearly noted.
As Al Pacino told Sean Penn in Calito's Way: "You ain't a lawyer no more Kelly. You a gangster. And you can't learn it at school and you can't have a late start....."

You've got an airtight conspiracy theory about Chris King's motives
26 Jul 2007
If what King writes about a possible coverup ignored by the mainstream media is is not verified by mainstream media accounts, then what King writes about a possible coverup ignored by the mainstream media should be immediately suspect, (until such time as the Union Leader, or WMUR verifies Chris King's work with a story about a possible coverup ignored by the mainstream media.)
We have every reason to suspect Chris King's motives, and consequently, the work he produces. Clearly, Chris King has something to gain from investigating this story, writing about it on his blog, and publishing a free, online documentary about this situation. What it is that Chris King has to cynically gain from this story is so clear, it is not even worth mentioning in this comment.
Re: You've got an airtight conspiracy theory about Chris King's motives
30 Jul 2007
Make no assumptions about King's purpose in exposing the truth except that he is committed to revealing truth on a factual basis, point by point. The situation is not what it appears to be in passing, but has emerged as a serious matter of substance for thought, consideration and action.
Concerned in MA
Re: You've got an airtight conspiracy theory about Chris King's motives

Importantly, the gain will be fully realized by the citizens of New Hampshire as the Attorney General's office is exposed.

Just posted the fact that back in 2002/2003 all the arrests that cops like McKay tried in Fox Hill Park were dismissed by Judge Peter Cyr because of Constitutional violations.
Here's a link to the Nashua Telegraph forums
forum.nashuatelegraph.com/viewtopic.php
....and here is a link to my blawg post
christopher-king.blogspot.com/2007/07/kingcast-watches-as-concerned-faces-ask.html
....with all of the relevant court documents linked.
Did you know that the information the town just provided to the Concord Monitor has no reflection of a 2005 complaint filed against McKay by Attorney Troy Watts?
christopher-king.blogspot.com/2007/07/kingcast-demands-copy-of-police-video.html
And that there is no record of the use-of-force report from the 2003 incident with Liko Kenney?
It's bad news to have a use-of-force report tied in with Constitutional violations, yo'.
And last but not least McKay violated the principles of when to use Pepper Spray (Passenger in car and Liko known to be emotional) and use of deadly force (Tahoe bashing even though Liko was off the road already).
Take a look here with yesterday's Concord Monitor story linked:
christopher-king.blogspot.com/2007/07/kingcast-and-concord-monitor-say-key-to.html
And major media is in contact with me. Media beyond the four corners of New Hampshire, you bet.

Kelly Ayotte knew of Constitutional violations and of the missing police files.
christopher-king.blogspot.com/2007/07/kingcast-schools-beverley-wang-wmur.html
christopher-king.blogspot.com/2007/07/kingcast-and-concord-monitor-say-key-to.html
From the first post:
First of all, the WMUR story (video link here) that references the "last complaint being made [against McKay] in 2000" is a total lie. I would consider Attorney Troy Watt's complaint and the Tim Stephenson complaint at p.570 of the pdf files to which only media folk like KingCast have access (for now) to contraindicate that statement.
Now then, let's take a read of Attorney James T. Brook's 1 May 2003 Motion for Continuance, which is in a file that NH AG Kelly Ayotte HAD to have read because she discusses the 2003 arrest in her official report:
Counsel requires a copy of McKay's police report in order to prooperly litigate this issue. Defense counsel, however, has yet to receive Officer McKay's police report from the Graton County Attorney. Counsel did request McKay's report in a February 20, 2003 discovery letter addressed to the Franconia Police Department. At the time of the discovery request, the Franconia Police Department was prosecuting the allegations in the above-captioned matters. The department did not respond to the request and, instead dropped all of the complaints."
Whoops. The State knew all along about this type of nonsense. And they know that McKay tried to frame Timmy for some kinds of youth sex charges that went away. There is probably a deeper sex/money/drugs angle working here; I have heard that McKay (a camera buff) may have had Montminy in a compromising position and that's how he ran the show there in Franconia. We may never know that, but we do not something's fishy in Denmark, as my Nashua Firefighter neighbor and his wife commented a month ago.
Whe I was in Franconia last time Carlito's Way was on TV and I will now take this time to encourage local media to get on the clue bus before the National media I'm working with come in here and embarass the living snot out of you, and to remind Kelly:
"You ain't a lawyer no more Kelly. You a gangster. You on the Other Side now. And you can't learn it at school and you can't have a late start....."

Have you ever considered that many townspeople found that Chris King is the only person that would give them a public voice? Are people unaware of the corporations that own 95% of all media sources? These are the same corporations owned by the Federal Reserve (privately owned shareholders), These are the same corporations funding our congressmen. Many reporters would lose their jobs and have when speaking out against the populace. Well, get ready because it is going mainstream........You will only believe them?? Why not the people from the area that knew both of these people and the corruption in the town? Many of the citizens referred to the 12 years of McKay as, "McKay's reign of terror". This has been being said for many years and many feared him.
Re: Documented proof of cover up in Franconia shooting tragedy.
30 Jul 2007
haha....Is Chris at a suspicious place at a suspicious time?
I could be missing something but most people serious about bringing an important story forward that is being suppressed by the state, would think about ways to make it accessible to the masses that is not dependent on mainstream media. If someone is going to use a documentary as the form of media they would also research all they could about the circumstances. They would gather all of the information they could about it. I commend Chris for doing what others are afraid to do and soon enough the mainstream will hear the true story of the tragedy in Franconia.

Let the truth be told.
Coverup and lies
30 Jul 2007
I want to know why the Town and the Franconia PD say no complaints were filed after 2000 when we know some were?
I want to know why Bruce McKay's police file is so secret?
I want to know why the Franconia selectboard and the Franconia Recovery team decided to meet on short notice to discuss survey results? Results that should be available to the public in their entirety on a publicized forum.
I want to know why the Franconia selectboard still to this day refuses to hear citizen complaints and refuses to change failed police complaint policies in favor of a Citizen Review Board.
I want to know why I have to fear for my family's and my neighbor's safety when we have a known and unstable felon Floyd still walking in our midst?
I want to know why the State cleared that person we fear of any wrong-doing on May 11, without any real investigation?
I want to know why the State's version of the events are clearly contradicted by other testimony for more than one person?
I want to know how the State can explain the multiple conflicting statements Floyd made AND discount Caleb McCauley's testimony almost entirely?
I want to know when the Franconia PD, the Franconia selectboard, and the State AG will finally produce ALL documentation in it's ENTIRETY as per the right-to-know laws?
I want to know why all the secretcy and posturing if it is what it is?
ITS TIME FOR SOME ANSWERS!

A low life pretending to be crusader for justice.
A total fraud, and he has sucked many people in.
Yeah, the state whitewashed this case. Let the real attorneys handle it -- not this disbarred fool who is looking for a payoff.
He mentioned on his blog that if there is some kind of legal settlement, he'd donate half of HIS proceeds to a tennis camp. LOL.
Re: Re: Documented proof of cover up in Franconia shooting tragedy.
30 Jul 2007
I wonder how much Chris has spent of his own money to get the documentation needed and taped statements. I wonder how many countless hours he has devoted to this civil right issue. I wonder how long he has had a blog about civil rights? I wonder how he could have learned so much about civil rights in 8 weeks time if there was no prior knowledge or interest in this area?
I wonder? Maybe he does have a heart for civil rights and justice. Open your heart and ask what your true motivation in bashing Chris is?
The Franconia Tragedy is important and necessary to address.
Re: Re: Documented proof of cover up in Franconia shooting tragedy.
30 Jul 2007
First off, I'm not disbarred and I whipped WMUR's ass over that:
christopher-king.blogspot.com/2007/06/kingcast-cease-and-desist-letter-to.html
Second, the issue on money was whether or not I write a book or movie about it, not from a legal settlement. And I don't see John Sedgwick (Boston Magazine writer who has an August story about this case and to whom I have given substantial information) or Casey Sherman who is writing a 2009 book about it offer any of THEIR money to Tamarack Tennis camp.
Sedgwick:

Sherman:

My lawsuit is strictly for releas of information, which I am doing as a media person, as I have my NH AG press kit they were compelled to give me because I am a legitimate blogger and have worked as an editor/photojournalist for an Ohio Statewide newspaper and as a reporter for the IndyStar?
Then what do you have to say?
Nothing.
You're a stupid-assed, dumb-assed hater.
No go sit in the corner on your thumb and spin like the dunce you are.
But before you go there, remember this "lowlife" has whipped Kelly Ayotte in court (by myself) and her buddies Chief Dunn and Prosecutor Albrecht in court as well (with the help of former Hillsborough County lead prosecutor David Horan); whipped them so bad each time they didn't even have the cajones to walk into the courtroom.
Not to mention numerous First Amendment battles throughout the years one of which was tied in with getting Julia Earl ousted from Nashua Schools as Superintendent, as noted in this Nashua Telegraph editorial:

*********
Excerpts:
Fact: As noted in these/two posts, the companion Fox Hill possession cases of State v. Wright and State v. Miller were all dismissed for Unlawful Constitutional violations by Judge Peter Cyr, even though Cyr is known for authorizing "no-knock" pot raids.
They nol-prossed Liko's possession complaint so that he wouldn't have a Constitutional finding in his file, duh. But if anyone should have had a Constitutional finding in his favor it was Liko because he was not smoking marijuana while the other folks were.
With that in mind and now having proved what my sources told me about the other cases a while back, this and the next post will explore my transcription of the 2003 video that dirtbag Union Leader Publisher Joe McQuaid failed to provide in full for his little YouTube beat down of Liko Kenney, no doubt orchestrated with NH AG Kelly Ayotte and NH LE. In a day or two you can watch the FULL video and see what transpired after they bring Liko into McKay's squad car.
21:04:01 - "You can't pull people off the street and put them in handcuffs and drive them around for no reason." [held: correct, as noted by Judge Cyr].
21:05:46 - "I was sitting in my car resting before driving home and now you've done this to me for no reason." [held: correct, as noted by Judge Cyr].
21:15:00 - "Why am I in handcuffs?" "[Officer Cox or Ball] Because you resisted arrest." "Why was I being arrested, why?" "[Officer Cox or Ball] I don't understand what the original offense was." "That's because there is no original offense." [held: correct, as noted by Judge Cyr].
21:15:30 - "He punched me in the face and you and him both saw him punch me in the face and you both are saying he didn't. I'm being beat up IN HANDCUFFS by 3 adult armed men who all have guns and I have NOTHING." [held: correct, by common sense].

abuse never happens in a vacuum, and we can assume this is not the first instance of police targeting and abuse in this small NH town. when left unchecked, abusers infest the police culture and potentially destroy the very lives they were entrusted to serve and protect
the quote at 21:15:30 is heartbreaking at a human level.....and to think a judge never heard this video/audio!? perhaps there is no humanity left in the system.

Re: Documented proof of cover up in Franconia shooting tragedy.

www.bostonmagazine.com/articles/collision_course/
Bill Kenney is among those who theorize that Floyd was an informal backup for McKay, operating on a kind of buddy system. The two lived not far apart, and seemed to share a similar outlook on the world. Floyd refuses to speak to the press, but some in Franconia also speculate that he kept a police scanner, which would have let him track McKay’s movements. In any event, in his role in the bloody events on Route 116, he outdid the slain cop-cum-prosecutor. For Liko Kenney, Gregory W. Floyd served as judge, jury, and executioner.
Re: Documented proof of cover up in Franconia shooting tragedy.
31 Jul 2007
Excerpts:
"Chief Montminy does not keep arrest records subdivided by officer, but on the job last year, according to the word around town, McKay rang up over 300 stops—summary interrogations, drug searches—pursuing every infraction, no matter how petty, with the same bulldog ferocity. The other two full-time cops in town reportedly collected just 11 between them.
Unlike Massachusetts, New Hampshire does not have district attorneys, and relies on police prosecutors to pursue guilty verdicts in minor crimes. To earn extra money, McKay filled that position for the town. Sometimes, when trying a suspect he’d arrested, he’d put himself on the stand to present the evidence. “I always thought he was a fascist,” says Jean McLean. That impression wasn’t eased by the Hitler mustache—a dab of dark hair right under his nose—McKay wore for a time, or the GOTCHA vanity plate on his Nissan 4x4.
With such a profile, McKay attracted a lot of talk in Franconia, little of it flattering. Once, it was said, he pulled over a 79-year-old woman for an expired registration sticker. After she tried to explain that she was heading home to cook dinner for her husband, he made her wait in the car for two hours. When McKay discovered a group of kids celebrating their high school graduation by frolicking along the river, he had every one of their cars towed. He’d even threatened to ticket a man for driving his riding mower across the road. McKay’s targets rarely filed complaints, though. “People feared retribution,” says Roland Shick, an antiques dealer in nearby Bethlehem. “They were afraid McKay would attack their kids, or themselves.”
After Kenney got out, McKay kept a close eye on him. He would often drive down to Tamarack, then slowly turn around by Kenney’s house, shining his high beams into the property. Just to say hello. “I used to be able to set my clock by it,” said neighbor Connie McKenzie, who saw McKay pass by her house, headed for Easton, every evening.
*******
"Connie McKenzie, who works as a nurse, arrived next and performed CPR on McKay until the EMTs took over. She says she wanted to check on Kenney, too, but was ordered not to. “I thought someone should at least take his pulse,” she says.
Bill Kenney is among those who theorize that Floyd was an informal backup for McKay, operating on a kind of buddy system. The two lived not far apart, and seemed to share a similar outlook on the world. Floyd refuses to speak to the press, but some in Franconia also speculate that he kept a police scanner, which would have let him track McKay’s movements. In any event, in his role in the bloody events on Route 116, he outdid the slain cop-cum-prosecutor. For Liko Kenney, Gregory W. Floyd served as judge, jury, and executioner."
John also did not have the full media kit from the AG's office that I have, which shows according to Floyd Jr. and Caleb Macaulay that Liko did NOT strike McKay twice with the car, so he wrote this:
"Kenney revved his car forward, striking the officer. Then he backed up and drove at McKay again, this time plowing the front end of the Celica up over McKay’s torso."
*****
We now know, as I have written numerous times on my blawg, that such is not the case, according to Floyd Junior and Caleb Macaulay.
Namaste.
