Freeman’s supported have created a website called 93days.com and state the following:
Ian Freeman of Keene, NH rents a house to a tenant, who has a musty old couch on the property.
The city planner complained and a Keene City Code Enforcer ticketed Ian. Ian was willing to remove the couch, he only asked to face his accuser. Instead, a trial date was scheduled.
When Ian failed to sit down fast enough at “trial”, the “judge” sentenced him to 30 days for contempt of court, moved him to a back room, sentenced him for another 60 days and, finally, 3 days for refusing to pay the couch-related fine.
Freeman appears to be a talk show host and member of New Hampshire’s liberty movement. A clearly unhinged judge (identified on one site as Judge Burke) is shown screaming, “Have a seat. Have a seat” before having him arrested.
I would love to know if there is something more to this because on the surface, it looks pretty abusive conduct by the judge. The video leaves the impression that he is being cited for not sitting down fast enough as opposed to the camera that he references toward the end of the tape. It is unclear why the proceeding was moved or what conduct behind closed doors led to such a hefty penalty.
