He video taped himself committing a crime and then posted it on the internet.

Loading a gun, a constitutional right within "freedom" plaza. Then came the paramilitary to break his door down.

Think about that for a second. Excercising a right in "freedom" plaza gets a swat team breaking down your door. Derp

It is not an (unrestricted) right to have a loaded gun in public.

The irony is lost on so many. The 2nd amendment by a citizen in "freedom" plaza gets a military style raid on his house hours later.

Whether or not a district bars that amendment to the point it is impossible to exercise is irrelevant to me. It is another example of how far out of whack this country has become.

I agree the name of the plaza is ironic, but he still broke the law and will be rightfully punished.

What he did was dumb. DC has strict gun laws. What he did was in fact 100% illegal. He knew it was illegal, and he did it anyway. What were you guys expecting? Ofc he is in jail, and will probably be there for a long time. His little display was pointless, its not going to change the direction of gun policy.

Activist Adam Kokesh ordered held without bond in D.C.

WASHINGTON - A D.C. Superior Court judge has ordered a veteran and activist accused of openly carrying a shotgun in D.C.'s Freedom Plaza held without bond.

During a preliminary hearing Monday, an attorney representing Adam Kokesh argued that the stunt -- filmed and posted on YouTube -- was nothing more than political theater.

The judge disagreed, ordering that Kokesh be held until his next court appearance.

"I consider your client to be a very dangerous man," the judge said. "This is not a political statement."

Kokesh had been arrested and charged with drug-related offenses in Fairfax County, Va., earlier in July.

He is expected back in a D.C. courtroom Aug. 13.

Maybe I am missing something but with the judge already saying he considers him a very dangerous man without the trial even starting can he be considered impartial?

Adam Kokesh.

The truth = former military, father is a wealthy Zionist, has openly called for armed revolution, ever seen the marijuana prohibition rally video where the other "Libertarian leader" tried to plant a joint in his back pocket while he was being arrested by half a dozen uniformed officers? This guy is controlled opposition, his objective is to get the American people to fire the first shot.

Once you know the facts you understand that this is all nothing more than a scripted ploy meant to build a groundswell of support for a revolution. All the world is a stage to these people. He is basically a more refined and radical Alex Jones.

Press your ignore button when it comes to controlled opposition like this guy.

Still waiting on David Gregory's arrest, with DC's strict gun laws and all.

Libertarian pundit Adam Kokesh defends Las Vegas shooters for “not necessarily unjustified violence”

"The host of a talk-radio-style online show says killing cops isn't murder because sometimes police kill people too"

http://www.salon.com/2014/06/12/lib...ers_for_not_necessarily_unjustified_violence/

Speaking on his Internet show on Wednesday, libertarian pundit, gun rights activist and former resident of a D.C. prison Adam Kokesh partially defended the actions of Jerad and Amanda Miller, the far-right extremists who recently killed two police officers, a civilian and themselves in a Las Vegas public shooting.

Railing against the Southern Poverty Law Center and USA Today for acknowledging how the Millers were influenced by Kokesh, the host swore vengeance, saying that the SPLC and USA Today are “not going to get away with it this time.”

He also argued that because America’s political institutions — including the police — have become “homicidal … against freedom,” it was wrong to see the Millers’ unprovoked killing spree as acts of murder rather than self-defense.

“Let’s say someone is going around stabbing people, like, just stabbing people,” Kokesh said. “It’s not murder to kill someone in that situation. And [as] has been pointed out about the Vegas shooting, when you have police officers that are going around and doing violent things all day long, and then they take a break for lunch, well, it doesn’t mean all of the sudden they’re innocent or they’re being peaceful because they’re taking a break from all of their other anti-freedom, rights-violating violence,” he continued.

Kokesh argued next that the Millers had, if anything, saved lives by murdering two police. “Think of how many lives might have been saved by this incident,” he urged his audience. “How many people would these cops have killed had they not been killed?”

“We can only hope that some of the officers in America are listening — if you care about your own safety — to understand that you are hurting people,” Kokesh threatened, “and you can only push them so far before they hit a breaking point.”

Ultimately calling the attack an example of “not necessarily unjustified violence,” Kokesh insinuated that the Millers’ killing spree was the government’s fault.

The proper conduct would be civil disobedience. It would be campaigning at a State level. To convince or elect local representatives to effect desired changes. That is a proper contest.

To promote violence first before campaigning cannot be condoned. I must condemn this man and ALL who follow him. He advocates terrorism by citing and advancing what the Millers did. Those were innocent men they killed. I must oppose anyone who says otherwise.

Jesus Christ anyone who would advocate and promote actions like that should immediately lose all legal access to fire arms.
