Insurrection (Kessler update)

Late last month we told you about Police Chief Mark Kessler of Gilberton, PA. He was the one making videos of himself making various threats and railing against his perceived political adversaries and general going militia - despite the fact that he’s not just some lone gun nut but the police chief, the guy who’s supposed to be upholding the law.

In the background, Kessler had ambiguous ties with a self-styled paramilitary group which he claimed might be required to fight the federal government’s unconstitutional actions. Later as the town started wondering what kind of situation they had on their hands, the Borough Council suspended him for 30 days.

Now the town is demanding that he provide an inventory of the guns he purchased while he was working for the city.
