Despite his self-proclaimed history of mental instability and post-traumatic stress, one-time congressional candidate and perennial activist Adam Kokesh is organizing a pro-gun rally in which marchers will walk with loaded rifles into Washington from Virginia.
“This is now a call for mass civil disobedience on July 4th anywhere in Washington, D.C.,” Kokesh wrote on the event’s Facebook page. “We will march with rifles loaded & slung across our backs to put the government on notice that we will not be intimidated & cower in submission to tyranny.”
Kokesh, who served as a Marine artillery officer and reservist, attended Claremont McKenna College. His 2005 psychology thesis, “Hot, Dirty, and Dangerous: Seven Months of Civil and Not-So-Civil Affairs In And Around Fallujah” discusses suffering from post-traumatic stress. “I had a number of anxiety attacks those first few days back [from Iraq],” Kokesh wrote.
Koesh was particularly disturbed by crowds, something which may prove problematic with the armed crowds at the forthcoming march. “I didn’t feel comfortable getting drunk, and the crowds made me nervous. When dealing with crowds in Iraq, I was always armed and I always had someone watching my back, usually with a machine gun....

Hi Daf!
He lost that race.
He’s just a trouble maker now.
A small one, but a loud one.
Yeah Kokesh may be a can short of a 6-pack, but Huzzah! to him for trying.
Mordor's reaction will be telling.
Hi there onyx
We were just in DC a few weeks ago. The police presence is very pronounced now. You can’t even get *near* the WH. Meh.
They are due to start major construction on one of the main artery bridges soon. It might not be the Memorial though.
This dumb@ss is going to create a firestorm with commuters, who have a nasty enough time of it, as it is now. The fallout will not be good for the *cause.*
The TP is *advertising* it....dunno why, b/c it sounds like an endorsement.

You’re so right.
This jerkward is nothing but trouble.
No he didn't.
You don't get it do you? Kokesh is the traitor. Look at the list of who he has worked for/with. He was a leader in the IVAW started by JOHN KERRY's VVAW. He worked alongside Code Pink. He worked for the Communist propaganda rag Russia Today. He is the enemy. If there is anything so obviously made to discredit the 2nd Amendment and will be used to clamp down on rights, it is Kokesh's little stunt- and he knows exactly this. Anyone who stands with Kokesh is no better than him or his boss, John Kerry.
Do really think I studied up on this guy before making that comment? You been freeping how long now?
