Kokesh arrested again
We first wrote about Adam Kokesh nearly eleven years ago when he staged some sort of protest on the Washington Mall against the Iraq War. The last we heard from him, he was trying to stay out of jail after his arrest for drugs in Virginia when marshals served him an arrest warrant for when he possessed a loaded weapon in downtown DC.
Well, he filed to be the Libertarian candidate for the 2020 presidential election, last week and within 30 minutes of the filing, he was stopped twice in Texas and arrested for drug possession again according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram;
“At this point and time the dog did alert so we’re going to a whole ’nother level,” the trooper said while Kokesh was recording.
Before he turned off the camera, Kokesh said: “If you don’t hear from me, please come find me.”
In a statement released by his girlfriend, Kokesh called his arrest a “gross miscarriage of justice.”
Kokesh was booked into the Wise County Jail on charges of possession of a controlled substance-penalty group one and two, tampering with evidence and possession of marijuana. Bail has been set at $76,500, according to Wise County Sheriff Lane Akin.
“During the search, troopers located evidence and arrested Mr. Kokesh,” said DPS spokesman Lonny Haschel.
Akin said his office started getting besieged with calls from Libertarian organizations on Tuesday.
Ben Farmer, Kokesh’s chief strategist for the presidential campaign, is in Decatur and said that they are asking the district attorney to reduce Kokesh’s bail to zero.
And a fine president he’d make, too;

Was Bradly Manning the girlfriend in his car?
Had to be “PRE-OP” Bradley, ’cause comrade Kokesh has a preference for horse-cock sammiches w/Mayo.
He needs to recruit Manning as his running mate, or vice a versa. They are birds of a feather. Maybe they could start a new party, the Felonian Party. Think about all the votes they could get from the recently franchised felons of Virginia.
Or the Blue Felonian Party.
I see what you did there, Jonn.
I’m sure that the DA down in Texas is busily finding a judge to lower this asshat’s bond to 0.
I doubt that. Ft Worth is a pretty conservative town in a pretty conservative state.
Ya know, I debated adding the /s tag, I guess I should have.
Reporting for duty… Duty to serve prison time…
“I’m here to service all of you at the BTJT Deli…”
Bubba, Thor, Julio, and Tiny are going to see that same image, in 3-D, except he’d be in a prison uniform. 🙄
The proper uniform for him. I’m thinking he’ll look smart in a one-piece orange. The Felonious Felcher that he is…
Adam Kokesh allegedly had a negligent discharge of another kind in a parking lot somewhere:
Comrade Kokeshski is 35 now with a criminal history that includes firearms violations and CDS. I’m guessing he’s self employed.
I’m pretty sure there’s a recently disbarred lawyer (recently released from incarceration) who’s willing to take his case. Pro-Boner.
What happened to his “Adam Vs The Man” gig on Russia Today? They finally get sick of his stupid shit and realize he was a drag on their credibility?
Adam Kokesh? THAT yo-yo has been missing its string for at least a dozen years!!
He really does live in his own little world, doesn’t he? I’ve sometimes wondered what it’s like to be just plain nuts, and then someone like Kokesh shows up… and I’m glad there’s an exit door.
Ask Pelosi and schumer, they can tell you what its like!
He is a stud. Got all up and brave in the face of my 5ft 100lb wife once. She laughed at him which made him angrier. Asshole.
::snerk::
Gotta live assclowns whose 15 minutes were up a decade ago.
He was a contributor to reason.com. Since this development who knows. Regardless of where he works now. He has proven himself to be smegma level on the human equivalency chart.
Don’t think he was ever a contributor to Reason. They’ve written about him over the years and interviewed him a few times, but I don’t ever recall seeing anything written by him.
We’ve all heard the phrase “Manny being Manny”, usually when the person in question was acting like a fool. Apparently this was just “Kokie being Kokie”.
As Bugs Bunny once put it: “What a maroon.”
Thank god are brave boys in blue got another dangerous Veteran who believes in the 2nd amendment off the streets. Who knows what could have happened?? He could have used the drugs and enjoyed himself!!!
Why can’t he get lit on Booze like a red blooded American?
Shit, the more I hear about this guy, the more I like.
Believes taxation is theft.
Loves the 2nd amendment.
Believes we should avoid foreign entanglement (Like George Washington)
Stands up for what he believes in even if it cost him. (I’ll take that even if I disagree with him of self serving politicians.)
Was a Marine.
Hell, I’ll have drink with him anytime!
I get it. Some guys like trannies too.
Some do I’ve heard. Coming out finally Cav?
Hey that was a clever retort. Very, very clever.
Before you start the manlove you might want to check further into the object of your affection. He is a piece of shit.
Ah, they’re so cute when they’re young and naive.
Of course taxation is (morally) theft. So is condemnation of property. But both are tools used by any effective government.
Laws are also restraints on individual liberty. Ditto a government’s ability to compel compliance with the law. But like taxation, both are also tools used by effective government.
Unfortunately, performing even a government’s essential functions (many government functions are not essential) costs $$$ – so some taxation is a necessary evil. You’re not going to get there via voluntary donations.
Ditto voluntary compliance with law (written or unwritten). There will always be some number of miscreants that simply won’t comply with the rules of civilized society. An effective government has to have a mechanism to deal with such miscreants.
Bottom line: take away funding or the ability to compel compliance with valid law, and in effect you have the absence of effective government.
The absence of effective government has a name; it’s called “anarchy”. No thanks.
And, as another commenter noted: you might want to check into Kokesh’s background a bit more before you go drinking with him.
Hey IntelPog, BE CAREFUL of what you wish for ‘lil Pinky, you might actually get it!
