N.H. lawmaker says a dead cop is a good cop
By MIKE RECHT, Associated Press
CONCORD, N.H. (January 2, 2001 6:56 p.m. EST
http://www.nandotimes.com) - A newly elected Republican state
lawmaker has angered his constituents, party leaders and police
by saying he favors killing cops when they cross the line. One
police chief calls him "a hate-mongering lunatic."
Tom Alciere, 41, won a seat in the New Hampshire House on his
fourth try after a low-key campaign last fall. It wasn't until
Sunday that his constituents in Nashua learned of his anti-police
views.
Alciere told the Valley News of Lebanon that he loves it when
someone kills a police officer: "It's unfortunate that cops do
make it necessary (to kill them) when they're waging a war on
drugs, and I view cops as enemy officers." He said he is "too
chicken" to do it himself.
He acknowledges posting his views at Internet chat sites for
months, including this 1999 comment: "Nobody will ever be safe
until the last cop is dead."
State GOP Chairman Steve Duprey said Alciere should renounce his
views or resign. But Alciere stood his ground.
"There's no way I'm going to resign," he said Tuesday.
Alciere, a married father of one who inspects circuit boards at a
factory, said he was arrested for "petty stuff" years ago but
never went to jail and has no criminal record. He said his
anti-police comments are the "harmless rantings of a private
citizen" that won't influence his legislative work.
"I'm rather embarrassed I voted for this guy," said Larry
Lesieur, who voted a straight Republican ticket. "This guy is
kooky. I think he definitely misled voters by not revealing these
things. In the next election, I'm pretty sure he ain't going to
make it."
New Hampshire has no procedure for recalling state
representatives, and legislators said they expect Alciere to
serve.
"As despicable as the ideas are, the complaints against him are
for his ideas," said Peter Burling, the House Democratic leader.
The New Hampshire House is the largest state legislative body in
the country and many campaigns don't get much media attention.
Alciere admits he didn't advertise his views during his campaign,
but denies misleading anyone.
"Nobody asked," he said. "For state representative, you don't
have to tell where you stand on the issues."
He said when police cross the line, citizens have the right to
use force to defend themselves: "Whatever is necessary is
necessary. It sounds kind of harsh."
He is taking plenty of heat. Newmarket police Chief Rodney
Collins called Alciere "a hate-mongering lunatic," and Gov.
Jeanne Shaheen is among state leaders to denounce him.
Nashua Deputy Police Chief Timothy Hefferan said supervisors warn
officers to be careful if they get a call to Alciere's apartment
building. He said police usually stay out of politics, but "I
think we'll have to revisit that policy just to enlighten
people."
Alciere's views got some publicity when he wrote letters to
newspapers.
In 1997, three days after Carl Drega killed two state troopers, a
part-time judge and a newspaper editor in Colebrook, Alciere sent
a letter saying that except for the editor, Drega was "an
otherwise innocent cop-killer taking out enemy officers in
battle."
The letter was never published, but became part of the
investigation.
A short time later, Epsom police officer Jeremy Charron was
murdered. Alciere defended Charron's killer, Gordon Perry,
because he said Charron had no right to ask Perry and a companion
for identification while they slept in their car.
Alciere said his anger stems from reading and watching television
about police misconduct, and his belief that many of the laws the
police enforce are unjust.
But during his campaign, he promised simply to oppose any bills
that infringe on freedom, and defeated a Democratic incumbent by
55 votes. In his previous runs for the seat, Alciere ran twice as
a Libertarian and once as a Democrat.
After the election, Alciere went online and said he was elected
by a "bunch of fat, stupid, ugly old ladies that watch soap
operas, play bingo, read tabloids and don't know the metric
system."
"The same lamebrains who vote for politicians who are WRONG
finally voted for one who is RIGHT," he wrote.
