Kokesh’s most recent job was as chief executive officer of Dakota Arms in Sturgis, S.D. He sold the rifle-manufacturing plant to Remington in 2009. That year, he donated a Dakota Arms rifle to a Republican fundraiser in Santa Fe, joking that “I certainly wouldn’t oppose shooting all of the corrupt lawyers and Democrats.”
In May 2013, Kokesh announced he was planning an armed pro-gun rights march from Virginia to Washington, D.C. on July 4, 2013, to coincide with Independence Day.[37] On May 18, 2013, Kokesh was arrested in Philadelphia by federal park rangers together with other protesters at the 5th iteration of a marijuana legalization rally known as Smoke Down Prohibition.[38] Kokesh and Philadelphia marijuana advocate N.A. Poe[who?] appeared before a judge[who?] on Monday May 20 and were charged with assaulting a federal officer and resisting arrest. Along with his release on May 24, 2013, Kokesh called for a "Final American Revolution" to take place on July 4, 2013, in place of the previously planned armed march on Washington D.C.. This is planned to take place in all 50 state capitols with protests to be only absolved by each governors agreement to initiate an orderly dissolution of the federal government through secession.[39] On July 4, 2013, Kokesh put on YouTube a video of himself that appeared to show him violating a District of Columbia gun-control law. On July 9, 2013, law enforcement officials (including a SWAT team) executed a search warrant on Kokesh's home. Police allegedly found a gun and hallucinogenic mushrooms and arrested him citing drug charges.[40] Kokesh was jailed in Fairfax County, Virginia, on alleged gun and drug charges.[41] According to an article on July 26, 2013, in the Washington Post, Kokesh posted bail in Virginia and was immediately rearrested by Federal Park Police on federal gun violations related to his YouTube video. A Washington Post article by Keith Alexander and Peter Hermann stated that Magistrate Judge Lori Parker ordered Kokesh to remain in the Washington D.C. jail over the weekend because, she said, he had violated the rules of his release in another case. Specifically, the Magistrate Judge noted that in June 2013, Kokesh was charged with possession of marijuana after he was arrested on the south side of the White House allegedly smoking a marijuana cigarette. On July 29, 2013, a D.C. Superior Court judge called Kokesh “dangerous”, and ordered him to remain in D.C. jail until trial.[42] According to the website called Adam Versus the Man, "Adam's next hearing is Tuesday, August 13th. It will be held in Washington, D.C. at the same address as his previous hearing, at 500 Indiana Ave. NW. This hearing is a Felony Status hearing, meaning that the defense (Peter Cooper) and the prosecutor (Ronald C. Machen Jr.) will inform the courts of their progress and set Adam's next court date. On July 31, Judge Frederick Sullivan entered the Findings of Facts, Conclusions of Law, and Order of Detention Pending Trial on the Docket. This means that Judge Sullivan has ordered that Adam remain in Federal custody until his trial is complete."[43]

If that information is even half true, it's all I needed to know.
I already figured his "stunt" was staged and pre-planned.
Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
Thanks for letting me know though.
I don't think questioning something is really biased, that is all I am doing.
Adam Kokesh runs for the Senate, he loses, he goes back to the internet and then makes videos of him getting high, This is pretty much a political career ender doing this.
Then gets arrested at a smoke down where it appears that he was smoking substances and then later you hear in the video that "this is the real one" and then he gets arrested and everyone begs the cops to not arrest him because he wasnt smoking
if it was civil disobdience why didnt he just light it up right in front of the cops and not faulter kind of like he did at the Jefferson Memorial silent dance?
Something is amiss with this guy there really is. I just present the information and ask questions, how is it that I am faulty of my assessment?
If he wanted to make a stand in DC why didn't he just sit there in the plaza and wait for people to see him open carrying? Instead he makes a youtube video and ends up in jail anyways, makes no sense.
