Mark Kessler, Pennsylvania Police Chief, Says 'F*ck All You Libtards,' Apologizes With Assault Rifle

A police chief in a small town in Pennsylvania is attracting controversy this week after posting a series of YouTube videos attacking people that disagree with his views on gun rights.

Mark Kessler, police chief of Gilberton Burough and a member of the North Schuylkill by Text-Enhance">school board, caught the attention of viewers earlier this month with profanity-laced videos blasting "libtards" and Secretary of State John Kerry for supposedly wanting to take away his guns.

In the video above, which contains NSFW language, Kessler goes on the offensive.

"fukk all you libtards out there ... yous take it in the ass," he says in the video, posted in mid-July. "I don't give a fukk what you say, so you can all go fukk yourselves. Period."

Kessler goes on to suggest that he wouldn't take part in an "armed revolt" on Washington, D.C., apparently a reference to a march planned and later canceled by libertarian activist Adam Kokesh, who is now in jail on drug charges. It appears that Kessler and others are planning a different event in D.C. in September, though it's unclear if they plan on being armed.

In a separate video, Kessler takes aim at Kerry and the by Text-Enhance">Obama administration for their support of a UN arms trade treaty. The agreement, designed to stem the trafficking of illicit weapons to terrorists, warlords, organized by Text-Enhance">crime figures and human rights violators, has emerged as a popular bugbear for gun rights activists who claim that it will be used to confiscate guns domestically.

The initial round of videos apparently made enough of a stir for Kessler to make an apology video, in which he offers a tongue-in-cheek "sorry" for "hurting feelings," before shooting off a bunch of rounds from an automatic assault rifle.

The videos are just a few in a series that express Kessler's outspoken and extreme brand of gun rights activism. According to the Morning Call, Kessler has also organized a volunteer group called the Constitutional Security Force. While the group doesn't consider itself to be a militia, it does vow to take up arms to protect against tyranny.

The displays caught the attention of a number of local residents this week, who have reportedly raised concerns with town officials.

At least one borough councilman has called the videos "unacceptable" for a police chief, according to WFMZ.

But Gilberton Mayor Mary Lou Hannon noted that Kessler's actions came during his "free time," and said it would be "terribly inappropriate to comment."

"As you may already know, the Borough of Gilberton by Text-Enhance">supports the U.S. Constitution, as well as the Pennsylvania Constitution, and therefore has made no law which would impede its employees' First Amendment rights," she said in a press release. "Anyone asking the borough to take action against the chief, when he has committed no illegal act, no violation of policy and no misuse of borough time, is asking that we establish an official political view of the borough and impose it upon one or more of our employees, which would obviously be unconstitutional. Each member of council, each employee and each citizen is not only entitled to their own political opinions but also the right to express them. We will not take action to quash free speech, whether or not each member of council or any member of council agrees with it."

While there are no plans to reprimand Kessler despite the outcry, Pennsylvania's Standard Speaker reports that Kessler's behavior has also emerged as an issue among some candidates for local office. Most have sought to dismiss the controversy.

Kessler meanwhile told the Speaker that the videos are "in support of the Constitution," and were created as commentary, not a reflection of his work as a law enforcement officer.

Gillberton, PA must be one of those sundown towns. I can't imagine having to deal with that guy under any circumstances.

 

[Type Username Here]

Doesn't even know how to properly shoot a weapon.

I've seen many police officers like this. Talking rah rah about constitutional rights and then go on to violate it every chance they get for the sake of "Security"

 

[The Real]

That guy seems like a trigger-happy failure who wanted to be a marine or something but didn't make it and managed to get into a law enforcement position because it was a small town in the middle of nowhere.

That's exactly what it is. I looked up to see if he served, and it only mentions his father being a Marine in Vietnam. Another typical violent conservative who didn't have the balls to put his life on the line.

Yeah, if it doesn't explicitly mention his service, it means he didn't serve. Looking him up, he also started an armed civilian militia in his town (to resist the government coming to take his guns,) is a massive supporter of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and is an avowed birther who thinks Obama is a radical Muslim:

Case closed, basically.

Typical.

Although, I don't have a problem with armed civilian militias.

 

[The Real]

The only reason I'm suspicious of them nowadays is that they tend to be run by people like him, but that's just a general thing, and doesn't apply to all of them, of course.

Apparently this guy likes to wear Mossad tee shirts, too.

For sure, I'd honestly feel more comfortable about left-leaning militias (they have existed, especially durning Civil Rights/Counter Revolution period of the 60s/70s) than these types, but I would feel uneasy about discriminating gun ownership based on political leanings.

I bet with all his constitutional loving he would foam at the mouth at a chance to violate someone's 4th Amendment rights. Can you imagine if a Black Panther group walked through his town legally and constitutionally armed?

I bet that talk would go out the window real quick.

These a$$holes make me sick.

you know what they say about the law...the smart ones become lawyers, the dumb ones become cops.

Pres treaties have supremacy over state law and so long as they don't violate the Constitution are valid. So, if Kerry signs it, all this talk is pointless
