WV:Assault weapon-wielding supporters rally for suspended Gilberton chief

An anti-gun organization doesn't believe a 30-day suspension is adequate punishment for Gilberton police Chief Mark Kessler, so it invested in a "Fire Kessler" billboard near Route 61.

But on Saturday, less than a week after the Washington, D.C.-based Coalition to Stop Gun Violence paid for the billboard, a group of about 40 gun-toting Kessler supporters, some wielding assault weapons, rallied in front of the billboard.

There, they shouted their own message: "Go f--- yourself."

Kessler said the rally was "an act of civil disobedience, a peaceful act."

"They're anti-gun. We're pro-gun. I have the right to do and say what I want, and that's that," Kessler said. "They want to come out and put a billboard up? We'll come out and take pictures in front of it. They want to spend the money, let them put them up all around the county. It'd be even better."

Kessler, a North Schuylkill school board member, has been under fire for profanity-laced YouTube videos about gun rights he posted last month. Gilberton Borough Council suspended him without pay for 30 days for using the borough's guns in the video.

The "profanity laced video" is far less offensive than what is seen on most movies.

>> profanity-laced YouTube videos about gun rights

When encroaching on man’s sense of sovereignty, consider the vulgarity your final warning.

F the UN for not allowing our feckless leader, Barrack Hussien Obamaumau for not blowing up empty staging areas in Syria with millions of dollars of US miltary hardware, just because the gay turd painted his monkey-ass into a corner. /s

The libs have their panties in a wad.

Vulgarity is perfectly okay if it comes from hip hop or Hollywood. But let someone with different political beliefs use it and it is hate speech.

How did we get to a point where the left utterly controls who can say what?

I would be willing to bet $100 (that I do not have) the there was not a single ASSAULT WEAPON at the rally.
However in todays world, the definition of any and every thing is what the Liberals and MSM say it is. So I could be in trouble here. So I will probably welsh on this one. :) Welsh? Is that a slur on peoples from Wales?

What is the WV at the front of the title? I guess I was right when I asked just where Gilberton was. LOL
