No Prison Time for Adam Kokesh

[KingNothing]

An adult was put in a cage for owning something the Constitution explicitly says is legal, and a fungus.

Land of the free, indeed.

In any event, I'm happy that the violence inflicted upon him was limited and is over now. Hopefully he turns this into a moral, and financial, positive and gains from it. I'm certain that he will. He seems like a great guy.

I've talked my share of shit on the guy, but definitely glad to see they didn't throw the book at him. Hope he can put this all behind him soon.

I wonder how long it will take Kokesh to land back in prison.

 

[Brett85]

Not saying these gun laws and drug laws are just. Just saying he would be smart to not intentionally do things that will get him in trouble and should instead focus on more constructive political activism.

If you want to smoke pot/other drugs in areas it is illegal, invest in metal doors, that will give you enough time to flush a reasonable amount of evidence.

Different states have different allowances. In TN, you can keep them if they are antique/heirloom type weapons, and kept locked separate from ammo.

What the fuck good is that? seriously

What good is a gun you can't use?

What good is a gun with a lock on it or one locked in a safe?

 

[pcosmar]

I read somewhere he was in for 114 days. That was long enough for him to find out who his true friends were, so he did get something out of it.

Actually,, he found out his friends weren't. Which is also very good to know.

Yay Adam!

In this society the bad people stay out of prison and many of the best go. I don't see the problem with civil disobedience.

And frankly, I'm tired of people (not necessarily you) who act like disobeying random govt. edicts is somehow immoral, while threatening violence against people when the government says its OK is somehow morally acceptable.

 

[The Free Hornet]

Guy wants freedom. Moves to one of the most un-free states in the country...

-t

I thought he wanted to fight for freedom and he moved to the front lines. What's with this shit?

 

[fr33]

I'm glad he's not going back but too bad they took his legal gun rights away. (Go bury some in the desert.)

I wonder how long it will take Kokesh to land back in prison.

Hopefully never. He stopped calling his show Adam vs The Man. I heard him talk about why and it sounded like he doesn't want to keep being the guy marching on the front line like he had been. I can't blame him for that.

I am glad he got off, largely because he didn't infringe on anyone's rights during his antics... but he is not very smart about things and he makes himself very unsympathetic due to his actions and rhetoric.... imagine him going before a jury for example.

Also, half the point of civil disobedience is to show how sympathetic your cause is and how ridicules the government is behaving. When one's actions or rhetoric overshadow the point you're making and turn people off of you, then it is kind of self-defeating.

I am glad that Adam does not have to go to prison.

Kind of like staffers of a political campaign that prides itself on integrity, yet due to not very smart actions end up being criminally indicted?

I think that portion of your comment, was actually meant for these threads, and regarding someone else?

I wish I got that lucky.

Yeah, we have too many people in prison but I don't believe that "many of the best," end up there. Most people go about their day in a productive manner and avoid any confrontation whatsoever with those in positions to arrest them.
