You can find a full description of why Mike posted bail in the 2009-02-04 episode of Free Talk Live. Mike called in at the very end of the show.

Dalebert reports that Mike Barskey’s court date has been set to March 12th, 2009. Since he’s unwilling to pay his $2040 bail or complete two parts of the processing he will be kept in jail till his court date.

In related news, Jesse Maronie (sp?) and Charlie Gearheart (sp?) have been arrested for disorderly conduct outside the Milford District Court while rallying for Mike Barskey at his arraignment. Dalebert reports that Charlie was slammed up against a wall and brought to tears.

UPDATE:

Mike Barskey has 6 charges against him according to Kat Kanning: speeding, open container, gun with no concealed carry license, not showing up for court and two others now forgotten. Worse case for the concealed carry charge is 1 year in jail + fines.

Mike refused to have his fingerprints taken and was told that that when he is brought to Valley Street jail in Manchester that they would “take them.” He mentions in his Porc411 messages that he is refusing or planned to refuse to answer some or all of the questions they were asking of him and he wasn’t planning on paying the cash bail.

The last message from Mike came in at 2:42am indicating his car was being towed to his home rather than being impounded.

According to Kat Kanning from on the NHUnderground forum:

Valley St. Jail has the worst reputation in NH. Mike’ll need your calls to the jail to help keep him safe. The website detailing all the abuses there seems to have been taken down. Here’s my article about it:

As you know if you’ve been reading this website for a while, the men and women calling themselves the “City of Keene” attacked me and my family because my tenants had a couch in their yard. I offered to move the couch if the complaining party (who was later revealed to be a city bureaucrat) would just come and talk to me like an adult, she refused, the government people continued to prosecute, and I continued to refuse to obey to see how far they would push it. It all culminated in their courtroom with me being thrown in jail on a sentence of 93 days – three days for the couch and 90 days on three charges of “contempt of court”. After a weekend in jail, I asked “Justice” Burke for mercy and was released with the stipulation that even though I had spent three days in jail I still somehow owe the $120 fine, or alternatively 10 hours of “community service”. Neither option was particularly attractive to me in that I’m certainly not interested in giving my money to the “STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE” and also do not have time for volunteering at the moment, so I made them a final offer. This was my opportunity to test how greedy the government people truly are.

I offered to give a $240 contribution to the Community Kitchen, a local food bank organization, in lieu of their demands of a $120 fine or 10 volunteer hours. If they were to turn down my offer they would not be able to effectively position themselves as being community oriented, and would instead reveal themselves as just another greedy government bureaucracy.

I’m pleased to announce that my offer was accepted (it took them the full ten day limit they have to decide) and I have made my contribution as promised. The actions of the government people in this case goes to show that their most important goal is obedience. Extracting money from the local population is also an important goal, however it can only effectively be done when the local population is ignorant and no attention is being paid to the forced extraction activities of the government people.

The more light we can shine on the violent monopoly of government, the less likely they are to continue their abuse. Please come to New Hampshire and join the peaceful evolution.
