JACKSON — A man who led a protest from a skateboard through North Conway last month and called for defunding the police was charged with child pornography. On Father’s Day (June 21), Chris DeVries, 37, of Jackson led a protest he called “Skate Away the Hate,” which involved people riding bikes and skateboards down Route 16 from Schouler Park to Depot Road and back.
At the protest, DeVries spoke through a bullhorn and listed off a number of demands that he said came from local chapters of Black Lives Matter. “If we divest funds from police and prison systems we all benefit,” said DeVries. “Those funds can go to local communities and social services.”
Defunding the police, BLM, and Antifa are all Marxist ideology that are being brought forth into the public eye. These are being funded by George Soros, a billionaire who funds and starts political wars in many countries. Unfortunately we have people that support an idea of defunding law enforcement based on poor facts and misguided information. There's a bigger agenda behind the movement. They want society to accept pedophiles as part of the LGBTQ community. In my opinion, I think the protesters have made their point, and it's time to stop these "peaceful" protests and get back to being a community again.
Gee, why does he want the police defunded? Particularly the cybercrimes forces. When the police go away, no one will find the pedophiles until its too late.
Of course the pedophile wants to defund the police department..... Also, why are white people from a small mountain community speaking on behalf of "the local black lives matter chapter"

I guess we now have an idea why he wanted the police defunded.

Well said!

But wear a mask, right?
What a bunch of frauds.

We are all Americans and we are in this together. It says "we the people" in the Declaration of Independence.
