>N.H. lawmaker advocates killing police who cross the line
>By Mike Recht, Associated Press, 1/3/2001 01:36
>
>CONCORD, N.H. (AP) A newly elected Republican state lawmaker has enraged his
>constituents, party leaders and police by saying he favors killing police
>officers 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.
>
>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.
>
>With 400 members, 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.
