Pro-gun activist Adam Kokesh, recently seen in an Internet video loading and cocking a shotgun, is being held in a Washington jail for three days pending a detention hearing on Monday, a judge ruled.
He is charged with
carrying a rifle or shotgun outside a home or place of business, an
offense that carries a maximum of five years in prison and a fine of up
to $5,000.
Kokesh, an Iraq veteran,
made headlines with a July Fourth video posted to YouTube in which he
loaded a shotgun in the middle of the national capital's Freedom Plaza.
He also used Facebook to
call for an armed march in Washington for the same day but called off
the event in May. It is illegal to carry firearms in the District of
Columbia.

Magistrate Judge Lori Parker said Kokesh "poses a danger" and went "out
of his way" to violate the district's laws.

if he is jailed, someone should bust him out, it's the least we could do. the man's a patriot
ReplyDeleteHe's in jail already.
DeleteThere are times I wish patriots like Adam could think more like the way lying, conniving, deceitful, devious progressives think. I would love to see all this bluster come crashing down when he proved in court he was not in Washington. Instead the whole scene was "green-screened" at a legal location. Although they would probably convict him anyway since he uses a PHOTO of Washington.

Convict him, regardless I am sure.
DeleteTHIS MUST STOP! I don't care where he was.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
