Officer Bellanger,

On December 15, 2025, Judge William F. Mazanec III of Greenfield District Court reviewed the complete video record of the November 22, 2025 incident to which you responded and concluded that my conduct that evening constituted constitutionally protected First Amendment activity that did not exceed its boundaries. Because you participated in that response, I believe you should know how the incident was ultimately evaluated by the court.

puttin' the cunt back in country!

I am not antisemitic. I am anti-semantic.

I oppose the way the accusation of "antisemitism" is deployed as a semantic weapon — a preemptive label that substitutes for evidence, shuts down examination, and protects specific individuals from accountability. Once the word is spoken, the actual record often becomes irrelevant. The label does the work. The inquiry stops.
