What about Adam Kokesh?

With all the drama over ObamaCare, Government Shutdowns, and Conflict in the middle east (as usual) one man’s story has gotten overlooked. That man is Adam Kokesh. He is a political activist, former Marine, and podcast host. His political views would have the average American in a tizzy at first sight but would likely create a light bulb like effect if only they put down their TV remotes and gave him a chance. But as is the case with any honest hearted and gutsy American Adam Kokesh is sitting in jail for a crime that really isn’t a crime at all.

At the end of May 2013 Adam took part in the Smoke Down Prohibition and found himself at the wrong end of a pair of handcuffs during the event. Now, one would be foolish to believe this was a simple coincidence. He had no marijuana in his possession and was charged with resisting arrest even though he went peacefully with the parks police. It just so happened that prior to this rally in early May of 2013 Adam announced he would assemble a crowd of peace loving gun owners to march around the Capital in DC with rifles slung over their backs in protest to talks in Washington about stricter gun laws. Adam and his crew quickly drew attention from both the mainstream and the alternative media with this ‘ballsy’ idea. He went on every show from Alex Jones to the local CBS news affiliate in his community. In fact, his Facebook event garnered so much attention that even the Captain of the DC police department issued a statement saying if Kokesh did try to carry out the march she would be greeting him at the entrance of the city to arrest him.

  

The problem with the march was in DC it is illegal to carry a weapon. This would be a complete act of civil disobedience. It wouldn’t have been violent or in any way harmful it would have simply been against the law. And just as quickly as the event had drawn attention it was quickly postponed. Instead, Kokesh decided it would be best if he called for all peace loving gun owners to stage their own open carry march on their own state capitals. But before the haters had a chance to call him every name in the book he decided to stage a small event of his own. (Allegedly) In the early morning hours of July 4^th 2013 Kokesh took a camera, himself, and his shotgun and headed out to Freedom Plaza in DC. In an act of civil disobedience he loaded his shotgun while reciting a speech that should have every American behind him.

Shortly after the video was posted on YouTube Adam’s home and belongings were raided by police and he was put in handcuffs for over 8 hours while they searched his home for evidence to support the video. Since July 26^th he has been sitting in jail. His trial begins on November 6^th and still no vocal support from some of the biggest names in Gun Rights. Where is the NRA to come to his rescue? Where is Alex Jones to get the word out about his trial? So far, nowhere to be found, and as events have unfolded Adam is now without proper representation in court having lost his lawyer. In reality it is up to us to spread the word and help Adam get the representation he deserves. Below I have posted a link to Adam Kokesh’s website and if you support the right to freedom for all beautiful human beings then support this man. For he represents us all.
