   Hey y’all,

   Hope you’re having a good day.

   Mr. Guilbault, just wanted to let you know that despite the passage of 11 days since your response to me, I have yet to receive any communication from your colleague Mr. Magnan.

   On another note, just wanted to make sure you saw the most-recent Penn Point by Penn Jillette entitled “Police VIOLATE Protesters in My Hometown” (http://revision3.com/pennpoint/police-violate-protesters), in which he’s quoted as saying:

   * “. . . where the colonists fought for the kind of freedom that is being pissed away in my hometown of Greenfield, MA”
   * “They’ve done something really really wrong in arresting those guys”

   He also called the use of wiretapping laws “bizarre”.

   I don’t pretend to claim that Penn, Adam or I have extensive knowledge in the legalese used by your courts. It doesn’t make sense to me that one needs to pay for and attend three years of school to know what’s right and what’s wrong. As Adam notes on his recent post about Penn’s video, he [Penn] “at the end sides with us, like most logical people.”

   With this in mind, and considering that the coverage about our arrests (thanks to the actions of Todd M. Dodge and his colleagues) may only increase, I’m interested to learn what actions you, Mr. Martin and Mr. Guilbaultd, will take to remedy the situation and ensure it won’t happen to others in the future.

   Thanks for your time. Looking forward to hearing from you.

   -Pete

   Below is the response I received to the email above from Greenfield’s Mr. Martin. My response to him is immediately below.

   ——————————

   Mr. Eyre,

   I am awaiting a report from a senior investigating officer. When the report is presented to me via the Public Safety Committee, I would like to discuss the contents with you. Actually, if you are in Greenfield in the near future, call and we can meet.

   I thank you for the updates relative to this incident.

   Bill Martin
   Mayor

   ———————-

   Thanks for the response Mr. Martin.

   Unless things change, I won’t be in Greenfield until July 29th to accompany my colleague Adam Mueller for his pre-trial hearing.

   If you receive the report from the Public Safety Committee before that date and wish to have a conversation, please let me know. Again, as my phone is still being held be the Greenfield PD any communication we have would have to be done in-person or via email.

   -Pete

   Pete, that’s really great. I wonder if the Mayor would be willing to do a video interview with you guys.
