The Pennsylvania police chief who made a profanity-laced videos while firing machine guns and ranting about liberals has been suspended without pay for 30 days.
After a 55-minute executive session, the Gilberton Borough Council voted 5-1 on Wednesday to suspend Chief Mark Kessler for using “borough property for non-borough purposes without prior borough permission” by using machine guns and other weapons in his YouTube videos. Kessler had donated the weapons to the borough earlier in the year.
In online videos posted in July, Kessler had used profanity to berate “libtards” and suggested an armed rebellion against the government.
According to WFMZ, Michael Morrill, executive director of the liberal group Keystone Progress, delivered a petition with 20,000 signatures to the council on Wednesday demanding that Kessler be fired.
Well of course his community spoke out and asked that he be removed from office. After all NOBODY could condone his behavior.
Wait, what was that?
WPMT reported that gun-right activists — many of them armed — showed up to support Kessler.
“Why do you hate freedom?” Hecklers yelled at Morrill. “Liberal lies!”
Okay well I stand corrected.
Take care Pennsylvania. And while you're at it you might also want to take cover, since it looks like you have almost as many gun nuts as we do here in Alaska.
The attempts at intimidation are only going to escalate.........until a confrontation gets an innocent bystander killed......only then will the shit hit the fan.....
ReplyDeleteIt is encouraging to know his right-wingnut extremism is outnumbered 20 thousand to one in his own region.
ReplyDeleteYou mean Pennsyltucky, don't you? From what I understand, that's the area between Philly and Pittsburgh. You know, Santorum Country.
ReplyDeleteI remember applauding a speech by President Obama whereby he spoke in PennsylTucky and mentioned people clinging to their Bibles and Guns. It didn't go over so well with that crowd, but it sure made me laugh, A LOT!
DeleteGuess, they be livin' up to they reputation (sic)
I found an article that included a picture of him outside the hearing in a suit, surrounded by a bunch of armed "men". Still trying to find a person of color in the group or someone who doesn't look like a stereotypical redneck or skinhead. The Chief commented that he couldn't understand why the council didn't support the Constitution. I'm sorry, you pretended to kill Nancy Pelosi. Quit listening to Sarah Palin regarding the first amendment. Like you, she doesn't know what the hell she's talking about.
ReplyDeleteThe report above is somewhat incorrect. They were not just your run of the mill gun rights activists. They were members of Chief Kessler's Constitutional Defense Force, ah, militia. They are the guys who will wet their pants when the black helicopters show up.
ReplyDeleteIt's the chemtrails, poisinin' them, and also too, HAARP is not only controlling the weather but is controlling their minds. Yep, this is some black ops shit fer sure ;-)
DeleteSomehow that black ops and tin foil hat stuff only affects the already affected, and it makes them gun crazy and conspiratorial. Funny how that works, huh?
His behavior was immature beyond belief. He reminds me of the teenagers who shoot up road signs.
ReplyDeleteWho do you think become small town cops? You got it, the teens that shoot up road signs.
DeleteWhen I read "suspended", I imagined literally. Without pay for thirty days is a slap on the wrist for this conservatard.
ReplyDeleteThey're everywhere, the only difference is this guy will fade into obscurity a lot quicker than it's taking the ex Alaskan Grifter.
Someone should tell the Chief that he is a Government employee.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to it being WAS a government employee!
Delete(HEY! A guy can HOPE, can't he?)
This guy is just a flat out loser, along with his redneck friends. Yep, if you want to get things to go your way, just show your disrespect to those who will be making the decision. It'll work against you every time.
ReplyDeleteBy percentage, as many gun nuts--and PA's a populous commonwealth. That's a lotta nuts, and Centre County there is actual Klan Kentral, look it up.

Is Sarah Palin an Alaskan? 46 percent of voters there don’t think so.

It is ironic that they think anyone who disagrees with them hates freedom.
ReplyDelete"and suggested an armed rebellion against the government." I'm not sure that shooting at people who pay your salary is a good idea.

ReplyDeleteHe's a member of the school board, too. To think that someone like him is making decisions that affect the kids in the area is even more scary.

What's scary is that he wasn't fired, he was merely suspended. You can bet your bottom dollar that some one will be providing his pay for the next thirty days.

I'm from the area he is from. He was inappropriate, absolutely. However, who else has enough guts to speak up? You probably do not even have the knowledge about the government to care about what is really going on.... Watch 2016 documentary about Obamas america.
ReplyDeleteThis guy was an asshole from the day he was born.His previous poliece history should have kept him off the force. He has been involved in everything from drugs to framing public officials. He needs to be investigated,jailed or committed to a mental institution along with his girlfriend the mayor.
