A Schuylkill County (Pennsylvania)
police chief is making national news for his videos that seemingly
encourage people to shoot U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi. Gilberton (PA) Police Chief Mark Kessler also calls
his political opponents “libtards,” who should “go f*** yourselves.”
In one video, he shoots a target he calls
“Nancy Pelosi” while saying, “We’re gonna give two to Nancy,
then we’re gonna put two in her face.” (see videos here
NSFW)
This outrageous behavior should
result in his immediate firing. It is obvious that a person
like this cannot objectively carry out his duties.
So what is the reaction of
the mayor of Gilberton? She says it’s a free speech
issue and she won’t stop him. Her reaction is almost as outrageous
as Kessler’s comments.
Write
to Mayor Mary Lou Hannon and the Gilberton Borough
Council. Tell them to fire Kessler
today. He obviously lacks the temperament, levelheadedness and
objectiveness that any law enforcement office needs. He is
clearly unable to protect people who disagree with him. He needs to
be removed from his position immediately.
Here’s a summary of his recent
videos:
In a video that has received
wide attention, police chief Mark Kessler repeatedly tells those
upset by his use of profanity to “go f*ck yourself” as he fires
various automatic weapons.
Mayor Mary Lou Hannon told The
Morning Call that Kessler had the right to express himself. The city
would “not take action to quash free speech, whether or not each
member of council or any member of council agrees with
it.”
Kessler has uploaded several
profanity-laced videos to YouTube. In one video, Kessler berates
“libtards” and warns of an armed rebellion against the
government.
“F*ck all you libtards out
there, as a matter of fact, read my shirt,” he says, turning around
to show a message on his back which read, “Liberals take it in the
a**.”
“You take it in the a** and I
don’t give a f*ck what you say so you can all just go f*ck
yourselves. Period. I wont be going to D.C. and I don’t give a f*ck.
If you f*cking maniacs want to turn this into an armed revolt, knock
yourselves out. I’m not about that, so see you on the other
side.”
In a video on basic pistol
defense, Kessler repeatedly shoots a picture of scary clown, which
he says is Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). He calls Secretary of State
John Kerry a “c*cksucker” in another video before firing off an
automatic weapon. (Thanks to Susie Madrak, writing at Crooks
