LAST MINUTE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SATURDAY APRIL 5, 'HANDS OFF!'
Friday April 04, 2025
PROTEST AT THE AIRPORT ROTARY       FIRST:  RAIN OR SHINE, WE WILL PROTEST. Bring your rain gear, cover your sign in plastic or with packing tape. We will be there regardless of the weather. It is going to be epic even if it's wet!   UPDATE: We met with police today at their request. They've seen for themselves that we are expecting a huge crowd.   They want us to be safe during this very large protest at the airport rotary. Their primary concern is people in the road or crossing the road because we will be distracting drivers. We will have safety wardens and leaders assigned to each area. If there are any issues look for the neon yellow hi-vis vests.   We are not using the inside of the rotary.   Police suggest we don't have people crossing rt.132 and rather not have us crossing rt. 28.    These are suggestions to avoid too many crossings:   If you park at the airport stand near Wendy's or on the hill in front of the airport. If you are going to cross to the Nantucket Sound space, 28 is safer than 132.  Park at Staples or Walgreens of in that area for the Nantucket Sound space. Park at the mall overflow, cross at the lights at the mall to get to Citizen's or Nantucket Sound or walk to the grassy area in front of the church.   They are putting up a couple of those programmable street signs coming into the rotary warning drivers to proceed with caution, and they will have cameras that they will monitor from the station to make sure there's no problem.    And, Hyannis Fire/Rescue is on alert.   TO ALLEVIATE PARKING CONCERNS: CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. First consider Uber or the Caper Cod RTA. The RTA has many lines that can connect you to Hyannis. From there, you get on the ?Barnstable Villager? line and can get off at the mall or the landing at Hyannis, or you can simply tap to get off when the bus approaches the rotary, they will stop if you tap the yellow line.  [https:] )   PARKING: Please carpool if you can. The parking enforcement officer will be on duty in the area so please be sure all parking is legal. Besides Staples and Walgreens, you may want to park at Cape Cod Creamery or the space at the bottom of the lot by Target and overflow parking in that area. If you are able-bodied, please consider parking at ?The Landing at Hyannis (with Floor & Decor, T-Mobile,Ihop, etc). It is about a 15 minute walk from there. Another option is paid parking at the airport:  [https:] We will be around all edges of the rotary, so just stand near where you parked to avoid crossing roads unnecessarily.   SAFETY: Make sure to stay on the grass, a few feet away from the curb, don't go in the road and don't go in the middle of the rotary. Police can shut us down if we pose a danger to ourselves or drivers.  Be mindful not to block cars visibility for entering the rotary.  Notice where the ?exit? sign is for your area. It is the responsibility of all attendees to follow all safety guidelines.   Attendees: Do not engage. Step away. Alert a safety warden. Your calm response is your power. If there are counter protesters, DO NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. If attendees engage, the police can shut us down. We don't want this to happen!! Notify a safety warden (in a neon vest) in your area of any disturbance immediately before it can escalate. This event will have A LOT of attendees, so everyone must act responsibly and obey instructions from organizers and police.   If counter protestors escalate and you feel you need to start videoing for any reason, you are encouraged to do so. It will be good record keeping. Please continue to ignore the agitator(s) and find a safety warden, in a neon vest. We don't expect any violence. We expect this to be a peaceful, safe, event to show our care, community, and courage.   Before you leave: Make sure to leave the space better than when you arrived. If anything needs to be cleaned up (signs, trash etc.) please lend a hand. Also, if you're not already part of an ?Indivisible? group, make sure to get a ?palm card? before you leave, with a QR card to join. There will be donation buckets if you would like to leave a few dollars to support the ?Indivisible? groups on Cape Cod.   WE DON'T WANT TO JEOPARDIZE OUR USE OF THIS SPACE, SO WE NEED TO FOLLOW RULES AND CLEAN-UP.   SAFETY AND DEESCALATION TIPS FROM MOVEON.ORG

Thursday April 03, 2025
Above: HN video freeze frame of Timothy Lee Galvin being taken into custody in a Hyannis family neighborhood, with BPD booking photo and other inserts from June 2023.   BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS  ?  [D.O.J. MEDIA STATEMENT]  ?  A Hyannis man was sentenced today in federal court in Boston for possession of a firearm and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. Timothy Lee Galvin, 32, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Angel Kelley to 97 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release. In December 2024, Galvin pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. Galvin was indicted in August 2023. On or about June 2, 2023 in Barnstable, Galvin was arrested for possession of approximately six grams of fentanyl and three rounds of 9mm ammunition in his pocket. In addition, a privately made.45 caliber pistol, 11 rounds of .45 caliber ammunition and 47 rounds of 9mm ammunition were found in a backpack. United States Attorney Leah B. Foley; James M. Ferguson, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, Boston Field Division; and Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert Galibois made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Tolkoff of the Organized Crime & Gang Unit prosecuted the case. This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce gun violence and other violent crime, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results. For more information about Project Safe Neighborhoods, please visit Justice.gov/PSN. INITIAL HN VIDEO: The following is the initial June 2, 2023, HN video footage and BPD radio transmissions from the evening of Galvin's dramatic arrest.

***  WATCH ***  NEMO FINDS A GUN!
Thursday April 03, 2025
HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS ? [HN VIDEO NOTES] ?  As you will see and hear in the following HN Video, at around 10:30 p.m. last evening, police responded to an address on Winter Street after a resident heard a ?sound outside her building? and located ?an object? which she believed was fired from a gun. Barnstable PD patrol officers and a member of the Barnstable PD detective division began working the scene to the rear of 161 Winter Street. Two members of the Barnstable County Sheriff's Crime Scene Unit responded to take photographs and collect evidence related to ballistics and firearms. According to sources, investigators were able to find evidence of a gun being fired but were initially unable to locate the firearm. Because the case reportedly involved the firing of a gun, with no way of telling how much time had elapsed prior to a person touching the gun, a Barnstable Police K9 patrol officer determined it was best to call in a K9 unit with special training in the detection firearms and gunpowder. K9 Nemo and his handler, Barnstable County Sheriff Deputy Nick Fitzpatrick, arrived about 45 minutes later, having just traveled to the scene from an area off-Cape. It was worth the wait. Nemo and Deputy Fitzpatrick were able to quickly locate a handgun within a matter of minutes. The incident was still being actively investigated at the time of this report. As you will see in the following HN Video, officers were speaking with a man on scene who was later transported to Barnstable PD Headquarters for further questioning regarding the incident. The man was not under arrest. Members of the Sheriff's Crime Scene Unit were in the process of collecting evidence to be processed. This is developing story and HN will provide official details as soon as they become available. [DEVELOPING] [HN VIDEO  ?  PRESS PLAY] P.S. ?

All potential defendants are presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
