Kokesh sentenced
WTOP reports that Adam Kokesh was sentenced today for his little “I can load a shotgun in downtown DC”, “Oh, no you can’t” theater. It looks like he got “time served”, some probation time and he has to register as a “Gun Offender” whatever that means.
In November, he pleaded guilty to three weapons charges: carrying a rifle or shotgun; an unregistered firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition.
He also admitted to a marijuana possession charge linked to smoking the substance near the White House in June.
The rifle possession charge carried a penalty of up to five years in prison. The other firearm charges each carried the potential of up to one year, with potential fines.
The drug charge carried up to 180 days behind bars and a fine.
I’m just glad that he finally spent some time in the hoosegow, finally, if not for the gun charge, then at least for all of the other shit he’s been getting away with since 2007. Thanks to TSO and Brown Neck Gaiter for the tip. While I think that he shouldn’t have been arrested for having a loaded gun in our nation’s capitol, it is illegal there and he was just doing it to get attention – that seemed to work for him.

180 days will get him SOME quality rime with Bubba, Thor, & Company, and they’ll straighten his ass out, knowhutimean?
If Kokesh pled to a crime carrying a 5 year penalty, would that not make him a felon? As in, not able to lawfully possess a firearm, at all.
While I agree that he shouldn’t have been arrested for it, the reason he did it is what makes him a turd. If it was to get standing for filing suit in an attempt to get the law overturned, that’s one thing, but to do it for your own self gratification is just stoopid.
Someone else who posts here always says it better than I. “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
He may be a dumbass, but no free citizen should ever be arrested or punished for bearing arms in our nation’s capitol. When did we stop being Americans and start being subjects?
Well, aside from us and, oh, six or seven others, his flag-planting ceremony mattered to no one. He is dumb as a brick and, despite the time-served sentence, those convictions are now a big Red X on his back. Drugs and guns will be all anyone will need to see and that’s that for him. He will soon realize that whatever his dreams of now exposing the truth about whatever he thinks needs exposing, no one will give a shit. Hey, that’s just the way it is out here in the world.
Ah, finally, one big turd in the catbox gets thrown into the trash!
What a nice ending to the week!
Uh yep! But, whats even funnier is? One of his “followers” was running around, trying to use his “good name” while he’s in captivity *snort* and talking about raising more money to support him, too. And so, play stupid games, win stupid prizes fits Adam Vs the MAN quite well now.
Fuck him, in the ear with a frozen trout…
“Gun offender”? Does that mean, like sex offenders, he has to leave his porch light off on Halloween while the kids are out trick or treating?
@8 Street, just stick radishes in his ears. They’ll get stuck. 🙂
#9 CCSenior; I think it means that he has to turn off the porch light on the opening day of deer season.
Only a matter of time before he walks on his wanker again
@10, Ex-PH2, that sounds like a waste of some perfectly good radishes which could go into a salad! I say screw him in the ear with a frozen zucchini, my neighbors always have a surplus from their garden! Anyway, he’ll soon be screaming *WEEEEEEE, WEEEEEE!* for Bubba, Thor, and everyone else they pimp him out to, if he isn’t already!
Proud, you’re right, but coarse chop the zucchini and add it to the salad.
Let’s try some moldy dried-out refrigerated cookie dough. You know how easily it’s shaped into stuff. 🙂
I thought this said he got time served. Is he out already?
Now we just need to get David Gregory in jail for a few months……
