Jailed gun rights activist Adam Kokesh has vowed to run for president of the United States in 2020 on a platform aimed at abolishing the federal government.
Kokesh, 31, has been in a Fairfax County, Virginia jail cell ever since a high-profile police raid of his suburban Washington, DC home earlier this month left him facing a potential felony conviction. If released in time for the 2020 presidential election, though, the libertarian talk show host has plans to pursue a shot at the White House.
In order to pretend to be a martyr, he's refused to post the $5,000 bail the judge allowed. Maybe that's some kind of Libertarian ethic.

Just another moron on the level of Ted Nugent.
ReplyDeleteWhat specifically is the source of your hatred of rights?
DeleteAnd we're still waiting for the arrest of David Gregory, who committed the same kind of crime--presuming that Kokesh actually did anything illegal.
ReplyDeleteYou keep repeating lies even when I call you on them. Gregory had an EMPTY magazine in the TV studio. Kokesh loaded a shotgun with live ammo on the street where such a thing is strictly prohibited.
DeleteAre those two illegal actions really "the same?"
Don't know the DC laws with respect to Kokesh, but it was probably illegal.
DeleteThe Gregory thing was Definitely illegal, as the prosecutor's office acknowledged, but they declined charging him . . . based on . . . I guess they didn't feel like it.
Mikeb, why do you keep lying about what I say? Of course the magazine was empty. We all saw that. But empty or full doesn't matter. It was an illegal magazine. Presuming Kokesh actually did what his video implies, the two actions are both violations of D.C.'s evil gun laws. Gregory got a pass because he's a shill for control freaks.
DeleteThey may both violate the gun laws, but comparing an empty magazine in a TV studio to what Kokesh did is typically and grossly exaggerating the situation. It's what you do because you can't argue straight up.
