A prominent New Hampshire Defund the Police and Black Lives Matter activist was arrested and charged with possession of child pornography last week. Chris DeVries is also being charged for possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms and falsification of physical evidence, which Jackson, New Hampshire police claim is a result of the progressive activist attempting to chuck away his cell phone when law enforcement arrived at his residence.
DeVries is known as the ‘rolling protestor’ in Carroll County, New Hampshire having organized an anti-police protest on Father’s Day in which skateboarders and bicyclists rode down a state highway. The Black Lives Matter protest was termed “Skate Against the Hate.”
“I feel like this is one of the best things I can do as a father on Father’s Day,” said DeVries last month. “I want to live in a world where racism is not accepted or tolerated, and I don’t want to live in a community or know there are communities in this country where people are afraid of their local police.”
“If we divest funds from police and prison systems we all benefit.” said the leftist activist at the time. Certainly, those charged with sex offenses and detained in the jail system would benefit from the abolition of both, to the detriment of society.
DeVries is also a town official for Conway, New Hampshire, serving on the town’s municipal budget committee.
Jackson police chief Chris Perley is alleging that internet forensics experts utilized by the police force have discovered more than sixty images of child sexual abuse on DeVries’ cell phone.
“I can’t comment on this case specifically or Mr. DeVries as he is a charged criminal defendant pending adjudication and presumed innocent until proven guilty,” Perley told the Conway Daily Sun. “But I can say that generally speaking, people should be very cautious about listening to voices suggesting defunding of the police because their motives are not always in the best interest of society.”
Every count of child pornography possession is punishable by up to 15 years in prison, but it’s doubtful DeVries would face the maximum sentence if convicted. He’s plead not guilty to all eight criminal charges and is being held without bail as of Thursday.
A convicted child rapist was recently arrested for a brutal on-camera assault at an Olympia, Washington ANTIFA left-wing protest.
