Adam Kokesh, the gun rights activist arrested after posting an Independence Day video of himself apparently loading a shotgun in Freedom Plaza, will remain in the D.C. jail at least through Monday, a Superior Court judge ruled Friday.
U.S. Park Police brought Kokesh to the District on Thursday to face gun charges related to the video. He was arrested July 9 during a raid of his home in Herndon and had been held in Fairfax County on charges of possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms while possessing a firearm.
Kokesh’s housemates alleged that he was mistreated in the raid, which was led by a Park Police SWAT team and assisted by local police.
Kokesh was posting bail Thursday in Virginia when Park Police arrested him again and took him to the District, according to a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office.
Kokesh was charged Friday in D.C. Superior Court with one count of carrying a firearm outside of his home or office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Chambers called the video a “deliberate and concerted effort to violate” D.C. gun laws.
Moral of the story so far? Don't fuck with the DC cops.
And David Gregory should be right there with him. There is no more evidence for the one than for the other.
ReplyDeleteIt was like jaywalking compared to drunk driving. You're too biased to admit it.
DeleteSince no one was shot in either case, they're the same crime. In your mind, because Gregory was doing it to promote gun control, it's all right, but a crime is a crime. Of course, neither should be a crime.
DeleteNo, Greg, it's because I have the ability to see the difference between a loaded shotgun and an empty mag.
DeleteNo, never fuck with the US Park Police.
ReplyDelete1) they are the feds and KNOW how to make arrests.
2) They have jurisdiction THROUGHOUT Washington, DC.
3) In reality, they are the Washington DC police Department--Not Metro PD.
He wasn't fucking with the cops. I think it was more toward The mayor and council.
