I used to be a member of the Libertarian Party, over 20 years ago. When I joined, they asked me to sign a statement rejecting the use of political violence.

Checking on the national LP's current sign-up page, they still ask new members to check a box that says:

I certify that I oppose the initiation of force to achieve political or social goals.

Since the New Hampshire LP has apparently rejected this principle and instead embraced the initiation of force against current officeholders, we should expect that the national LP disaffiliates the NH LP, right?

Right?

Fuck I was hoping this wasn't the NH Libertarians.

They're completely nuts. These are the same people that were running a Bitcoin trading scam and claiming they were a church. Also Ian "it's fine if I'm dating a 14-year-old" Freeman.

Like, take all the the terrible Libertarian stereotypes, and that's them.

NH LP needs to be kicked out, their just a bunch of alt right idiots posing as libertarians. It's really fucked up.

Ian should be happy! When he gets out in 2032, she will be 24, and he won't be breaking the law!
