A DC judge has decided that our buddy, Adam Kokesh, is a danger to the community and he’s been confined for three days awaiting a detention hearing, according to CNN<\/a>;<\/p>\n

District of Columbia Magistrate Judge Lori Parker said Kokesh “poses a danger” and went “out of his way” to violate the district’s laws.

Kokesh’s attorney, Peter Cooper, said after the appearance in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia that his client is making a “political statement,” but argued the government is doing the same thing.<\/p>\n

“Their allegation about danger, I believe, is unwarranted,” Cooper said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s been my experience that if a person doesn’t want to be treated like a nut, they shouldn’t act nutty.<\/p>\n

From the Washington Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The judge said he found \u201cprobable cause\u201d that Kokesh did violate the District\u2019s gun laws. \u201dI consider your client a very dangerous man,\u201d Sullivan said. \u201cYou don\u2019t make a political statement with a gun.\u201d<\/p>\n

The hearing often became contentious as Cooper and Sullivan argued. At one point, one of Kokesh\u2019s friends sitting in the audience was ordered out of the courtroom. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yep, that’s how you get a sympathetic hearing for your client – argue with the judge, that always end well.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Chip sends us a link to the DCist<\/a> which reports that Kokesh was denied bail today.<\/p>\n

A D.C. judge called Adam Kokesh a “very dangerous person” in denying bond to the gun rights activist on a charge stemming from a video Kokesh posted in which he appears to load a shotgun while standing on Freedom Plaza.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m sure your lawyer can get in another argument with the judge and get you thrown in the hole, Adam. He’s due back in court on August 13th. Remember to sleep on your back, Adam, otherwise, it’s just an invitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
