July 4 armed march in DC...???

I hate being the tin-foil hat wearer but

When was the last time anyone such as Kokesh was a big-hallucinogen fan?

And more importantly... when was the last time the local PD needed 20 SWAT team members to clear a house full for mushrooms? I know they overuse these forces to make everything abundantly overpowering/safe, along with instilling a chilling effect, but I just don't buy it. The article i read on the Washington Post screamed of "EAT THIS STORY UP AND DON'T QUESTION IT."

Edit: I am in no way a fan or even tolerable of his idea of an armed march on DC.

That came from the website ran by Kokesh. i put no stock in anything Kokesh or his friends have to say.

BTW: Kokesh was arrested by the U. S. Park Police who are responsible for policing Freedom Plaza, where Kokesh went into his act. Kokesh may be looking at a federal felony charge.

From the link:

U.S. Park Police Lt. Pamela Smith said her agency executed a search warrant at Kokesh’s home in Herndon about 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, looking for a weapon. The park police are the federal agency responsible for policing Freedom Plaza, the concrete park a few blocks from the White House where — in a video posted to YouTube on July 4 — Kokesh appears to load a shotgun in violation of D.C. gun laws.

When the occupant is known to be armed, is known to flaunt gun laws and publicize the event, and when he describes his video as "very specifically a call to overthrow the United States federal government.”

Additionally, we're looking at four felonies at the very least:
  • Unlawful possession of a firearm
  • Possession of unlawful (ie, unregistered) ammunition
  • Possession of Schedule I controlled substance
  • Possesssion of a firearm during commission of a felony

Given all that, it's reasonable to consider this man armed, mentally unbalanced, and potentially very dangerous.
 
The fact he was caught with mushrooms helps me to understand some of his rather odd behavior over the past couple of years.

I did not think much of his intelligence and that opinion has not been changed by the fact he allegedly kept illegal drugs in his house along with firearms after putting a video like that on the internet.
 
I live in the DC Metro area, it's not uncommon for the SWAT teams to be involved in something like this. If Joe Average had done the same thing, it would have been handled the same way. It's safer for everyone involved, both the police and whomever they're there to take into custody, they've extensively trained for it. 20 of them? Who knows, but I doubt it was that many. Overreacting? Let's see, he calls for an armed protest march on DC and gets national exposure as a result, then (allegedly) loads a shotgun on video near the White House with phrases like "We will not obey" and "We are the final American Revolution." and posts the video of himself breaking the law online. What did they think was going to happen? Anyone with half a brain would have taken the drugs out of the house, especially if he wanted to keep owning firearm...legally. Now he's the poster child of a "gun nut" for the anti-gun crowd and a martyr for the other extremist nuts.

Actually, I think we've dodged that bullet. Some newspapers call him a "gun activist," but I haven't seen any comparisons between him and us.
 
Gun nut, no. Nut, yes.

There is a MAJOR difference in a nut and a gun nut, AKA an afficianado.
He needs mental help as a member of the former.

He's not a gun nut or a gun activist... he's simply a jackass.

He doesn't represent me.
He doesn't present a positive image of gun owners, or activists for that matter.
He doesn't have a clear plan or course of action other than irritating the authorities.
His followers are equally ineffective and serve only to bolster his idiocy.
A tiny minority of the world realizes he exists, even less listen to him.
He's a absolute failure... a pointless, dishonorable existence fraught with police intervention.

We know the government is out of control and does not respect the will of the people anymore... but 95% of us currently live pretty well, can still own as many guns as we can buy, and we really have very little to complain about compared to the rest of the world.

A real activist will have far more smarts than this clown... a real activist will get elected.
 
The "plan" is to be non-violent...yet their weapons are loaded...hmmmm.....

I guess the question is, can he find 1000 people willing to join him?
 
If we could just listen to history

Rosa Parks changed our laws, our thoughts and our lives by doing nothing more than just quietly saying, 'no' in 1962.

It took a humble, elderly women to, uhem, stand her ground by refusing to move.

This classless act did exactly the opposite and got the opposite effect.


We need humility and we need to stick to what is right or what we know as the Bill of Rights.

If we could learn to stand our ground for the entire Bill of Rights, others might wake up and join in.
 
Hey Tom Servo.

You're absolutely correct about people on this forum being active, but the fact is over half the country is either uninformed, in denial, or has been indoctrinated by the media.

The whole point of the Second Amendment is so the people can fight back against a tyrannical government and the founders said so. They said we not only have the right but the moral obligation to do whatever is necessary to keep the government check. Not the other way around, they work for us.

I think it's time for drastic measures, because if people don't do something now it may not be up to us peace loving Americans soon. How drastic those actions should be depends on if the government listens or not.

Protesting, marching, writing your representatives, financially supporting those that share your beliefs and voting are our best chances at peace. If People are too lazy to even vote they're not America in my opinion and deserve what they get. I just don't want their in actions to cost my children their freedom.


I just want my children to be free

The arrest warrant is posted here. Apparently the detective

has previously observed Kokesh on two separate occasions at the White House and I have reviewed over 25 videos depicting Kokesh. The videos include video of Kokesh's arrest on June 8, 2013, for possession of marijuana in front of the White House. At the time of the instant offense, Kokesh was on release in the marijuana possession case which bears case number 2013-CMD -0¡OSZ2.

They seized the shotgun and several other guns, as well as marijuana, mushrooms, and "other suspected narcotics."

So, he's being charged in Washington DC for violation of § 22-4504, which carries a fine of $5,000 and/or up to five years in prison. However, the separate drug charges in Fairfax may add up to a felony, in which case the punishment for violating DC's gun law is a $10,000 fine and/or 10 years in the pokey.

So, at least he's not our problem any more.
 
Saw this come over the news and thought many here would like an update.

washingtonpost.com said:
A D.C. Superior Court judge Friday placed Adam Kokesh, the Fairfax County gun-rights advocate, on two years of probation in connection with an Independence Day incident in which he videotaped himself loading a shotgun in Freedom Plaza, near the White House

Seems that in June he was seen by police smoking marijuana outside the white house, then did the incident of possessing, loading, a pump shotgun in july at Freedom Plaza, both which lead to the arrest. Turns out he plead guilty and apologized per the article.

It mentioned that he is also moving to California as well, but also that he will refrain from civil disobedience.
