Kokesh Arrested

Were you charged with a federal crime?

Yes. I was arrested along with a couple hundred other people in a coordinated day of civil disobedience on the day the Iraq war started. We blocked all entrances to the federal building (which is the building kokesh is now in) and they had federal police come and carry us away one by one. They brought us all into cells in the federal building, held us for maybe half a day, then brought us in front of a judge and set us free.

The charge was something minor... "obstructing an entrance way" or something like that. They processed all of us and let us out with like a $250 fine.

That doesn't mean that it's not an immoral opinion. You disagree with a guy, thus he deserves to have guns pointed at him and be forcefully kidnapped and held against his will in a cage. Nevermind that he has not violated anyone's personal liberties. That's pretty fucked up if you ask me.

No, that happened to him because he broke the law. Or because he's cointeltpro and enticing all of you to break the law and look like loonies.

NO he did not. He is not even charged with breaking ANY law.
He is charged with resisting arrest. (which is a crock of shit)

Resisting arrest is not a crime if if one is resisting an unlawful arrest.

In fact (as the SCOTUS has ruled) resisting an unlawful arrest with violence is not a crime.
“Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting
officer's life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This
premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the
case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the
officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally
accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with
very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right
to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What
may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter
in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been
committed.”

I didn't have a high opinion of kokesh a year ago, but I'm starting to like him more and more. The more people keep saying he is cointel pro and the more republican types and dems that get mad at kokesh the more the so called gun rights pussies go after him the more I am convinced he is a really good guy. Also I keep hearing people saying he is all about doing stunts and he is a self promoter. Isn't that how people become successful? I'm sure the British said the same crap about ghandi when he was on his way to get some salt.

It's your right to smoke all the dope you want and bear arms, hopefully not at once anyway. But the way Kokesh goes about this is all wrong. He's cointelpro or a f-ed in the head showboating jackass who needs help and is going to set all we've worked for back a generation with his antics. Jail is probably the best place for him now.

Those are your opinions, which you certainly have a right to (as wrong as they are). But you might consider the Sage of Baltimore's wise words:

"For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all."
--H. L. Mencken

I just heard on Jones that they're charging Adam with assaulting an officer.
 
So whats this crap Stewart Rhodes spouted off about concerning Kokesh saying the march is about overthrowing the government?....did Adam say that? apparently this was said in the AJ interview a few days ago...i didn't listen to the interview. I suppose i could research this, but if anyone has looked into this, could we get a link?
 
I guess there was a hearing today. Sounds like he and some other guy are charged with felony assault on a police officer, with a hearing scheduled for Thursday. Adam got permission from the judge to call his dad.

You might find some of his 2300+ videos interesting

Here he addresses critics:



He may be young and ambitious, but he appears to be a good guy, not afraid to tell it exactly as he sees it.

I failed to see the "assault" in the vids.

I don't know if he said that or it is just being twisted that way,, but that is the Intended Reason for the 2nd Amendment that few ever care to recognize or acknowledge.
 
No bail, court Thursday. Claimed a "possibility of a history of excessive drug use"

somebody has a sock puppet
 
I'm baffled at how they came up with that charge. There is no way that will stick. I never was a fan of Kokesh but this is making me like him more.

Yeah, I'm having the same reaction. That particular charge only means that they really don't have any reasonable charge, I'd guess.
