The town of Charlestown has become a YouTube sensation in recent weeks, but not in a good way.
Charlestown’s troubles began when a YouTuber named Marc Manchon, who lives south of Concord, showed up to film vehicles coming and going from Whelen Engineering, a large manufacturing plant in town. The company designs and manufactures warning lights and sirens for first-responder vehicles.
The 35-year-old Manchon fancies himself as a First Amendment crusader and government watchdog. He drives around New Hampshire with a video camera, hoping to catch cops and public employees acting in a less-than-professional manner. He also shoots footage of private companies like Whelen that he argues profit from doing business with law enforcement agencies at taxpayers’ expense.
For the last couple of years, he’s livestreamed the videos on his YouTube channel — Press NH Now — where some get 20,000 views or more from people across the country. (A recent installment in his now seven-part Charlestown series, posted Thursday, was viewed 28,000 times in the first day.)
