It appears that Adam Kokesh will no longer be a problem for us. US Park Police raided his house in Fairfax last night, and among other things, they found psychedelic mushrooms. He’s being charged with possession of a Schedule I controlled substance, as well as being in possession of a firearm while in possession of drugs.
Though the warrant hasn’t been made public, it’s safe to presume they were following up on a ludicrous video he made on the 4th. In the video, he stood in front of Washington DC’s Freedom Plaza while he loaded an unregistered shotgun with unlawful ammunition. Those are both felonies in the District.
If any of these charges stick, he’ll be barred from owning firearms. The video constitutes a confession on the gun charges, as do statements he made following its publication. Speaking to Alex Jones after posting the video, he described it as “very specifically a call to overthrow the United States federal government.”
When he gets out, he’ll hopefully have found a different cause hijack. We never wanted him, and he doesn’t represent us. It’s something of a relief that most of the media seems to see that distinction as well.
