Secretary of State John Kerry is a “piece of shit traitor” who is trying to take away your guns, and he’s teamed up with the “cocksuckers” in the United Nations. Or, at least, that’s the message former Gilberton, Pennsylvania Police Chief Mark Kessler delivered in a now infamous YouTube video that concludes with Kessler screaming “come and take it motherfuckers!” and firing a machine gun off camera:
At the time that he posted this video — and at the time he posted another machine gun-saturated video telling people who disagreed with his views to “go fuck yourself and get some more” — Kessler was a small town police chief. He is not anymore. In the wake of the controversy generated by Kessler’s violent YouTube outbursts, the Gilberton town council voted 6 to 1 on Thursday to fire him.
Notably, while the council debated whether Kessler’s rants indicated that he was unfit to carry a badge and a (government issued) gun, an armed posse belonging to the “Constitution Protection Force,” a group formed by Kessler, stood nearby to support the disgraced former police chief.
