The psycho Police Chief is at it again.Following a public meeting in the Borough of Gilberton, Pennsylvania, in which armed supporters of the infamous Police Chief Mark Kessler blocked members of the community from entering the building, citizens have created a We The People Petition at Whitehouse.gov calling for federal intervention in the town. The petition asks for the National Guard to disarm the suspended police chief and his followers, who call themselves the Constitution Security Force.
Police Chief Kessler has created such an environment of threat and intimidation, local citizens have started a petition to request federal intervention.

(62,325 posts)He's threatening to kill Democrats, half the country, and poses with his nutcase loony friends hodling weapons to show they mean business, and he gets 'suspended'?
Imagine of he was a Muslim how this would be reported.
They are TERRORISTS. All these laws we are told are there to protect us, all the spying. Now they have a name, how about they get an old-fashioned warrant, showing probable cause, to take a look at his data being that he has threatened the Sec of State and half the country?

But yes, those yahoos need to have their toys taken away and some time in the jug to convince them maybe they're not wearing the white hats, after all.
Rear ends full of antipsychotics might also help them reconnect with reality.

(118,224 posts)In letter, Schuylkill County borough also advises Mark Kessler to remove references to his job from the Internet
By Peter Hall, Of The Morning Call

Gilberton officials want an inventory of embattled police Chief Mark Kessler's firearms registered in the borough's name.
And they want Kessler, who was suspended last week over his profane, pro-gun YouTube videos, to scrub the Internet of any reference to his employment as Gilberton's police chief.
In a letter to Kessler through his lawyer last week, Gilberton Solicitor Karen L. Domalakes said officials have been made aware that Kessler purchased many guns in the name of the borough police department.
"At this time we are requesting an inventory of the weapons currently registered in the name of the Borough of Gilberton Police Department. We also need to know the location of these guns," Domalakes said in the letter dated Thursday ...

I know. Silly question.

(10,056 posts)you are not part of a 'Constitution Security Force'.
You are a pack of armed thugs that should be arrested.

(10,266 posts)THIS is the attempted shutting down of the duly elected, functioning Local Government by people with ARMS. And these people call themselves "Citizens of a Democratically elected Republic". Not so much, and Not Any More.
The FBI should be checking this out, and if they don't think it's within their jurisdiction, than DAMN RIGHT its a job for the National Guard. It will be funny to see how (not) really willing the loons are with their little pea shooters when the men with the 50-cal's show up to disarm them. If I didn't understand, IN ADVANCE, the tradegy that would unfold, I would find this fall-down funny.
These people don't understand how government works if they think the only government that should be allowed to function is the one THEY voted for. Honestly, how hard is it to fail this badly at Democracy (and that's about the least vulgar thing I can say about these people)?

(37,154 posts)They had people all over the country crapping in their pants over the New Black Panther Party, and it has yet to be established that the NBPP has enough members to fill a school bus.
So over a black hundred people brandishing weapons and blocking access to a public hearing? It's be this, DO IT LIVE (as Billo would say):

(12,958 posts)I read elsewhere that the police chief is strip searching any council members that disagree with him politically. Also, the major media outlets are refusing to cover the story.
It's nuts.
