The other day<\/a>, we talked about IVAW’s Adam Kokesh and his plan to march on DC with a mob who will, reportedly cross the bridge from Virginia into the District of Columbia with loaded weapons to protest the District’s gun laws. Yeah, it’s a bad idea…really bad. But the District’s police chief, Kathy Lanier has promised that she will lock them up says the Washington Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Chief Lanier said the police department has not been in contact with Mr. Kokesh or other organizers but supported coordination between the group and law enforcement in order to educate protesters about the laws they would be breaking and the punishment they could face.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll make sure that they understand that if they want to pass through the District of Columbia with firearms, as long as they\u2019re in compliance with the firearms laws for transportation of firearms through the District, we\u2019re all for it. But passing into the District of Columbia with loaded firearms is a violation of the law, and we\u2019ll have to treat it as such,\u201d she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the Washington Post, 2500 people have signed up on Kokesh’s Facebook page for the march, but Kokesh’s minions are notoriously bold until they have to put their feet on the ground. A “Vets for Ron Paul” march he organized a few years back had thousands of people promise to show up but he had barely 400 make it to DC.<\/p>\n

As I predicted in the initial post, the DC police plan to meet the armed protesters at the bridge from Arlington Cemetery in the district. Another flaw in Kokesh’s plan, since they plan to begin their march at Arlington National Cemetery, I’m pretty sure that since it’s federal property, the Park Police at Arlington aren’t going to let them open carry guns there either.<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, since we’re the largest repository of Kokesh documentation<\/a> on the internet, we’ve been a pretty popular destination since the story hit the national press. Adam introduces me as his stalker, but I’ve always known him to be a publicity hound. He even emails links to stuff that he wants us to talk about, but I get email from Jesse MacBeth, too, so, I’m kinda like the idiot-whisperer. I’m pretty sure my readership is smarter than to make a pointless statement like Kokesh is trying to do. <\/p>\n

As I’ve said before, Kokesh has been arrested countless times in DC and each time he’s walked away for those arrests without a record, but this time, I’m pretty sure the District will punish the shit out of him and anyone with him simply because they’re carrying loaded weapons. The district charges a $5000 fine for anyone improperly armed in the district. You can also be imprisoned for five years, so they ain’t goofin’. And I don’t think this plan is going to end up good for anyone, even those of us who aren’t going to be there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
