Insurrection

Late last month we told you about Police Chief Mark Kessler of Gilberton, PA. He was the one making videos of himself making various threats and railing against his perceived political adversaries and general going militia - despite the fact that he’s not just some lone gun nut but the police chief, the guy who’s supposed to be upholding the law.

In the background, Kessler had ambiguous ties with a self-styled paramilitary group which he claimed might be required to fight the federal government’s unconstitutional actions. Later as the town started wondering what kind of situation they had on their hands, the Borough Council suspended him for 30 days.

Now the town is demanding that he provide an inventory of the guns he purchased while he was working for the city.

Russia Plans To Enforce Anti-Gay Law For Athletes, Fans During Olympics

“An athlete of nontraditional sexual orientation isn’t banned from coming to Sochi,” Vitaly Mutko said in an interview with R-Sport, the sports newswire of state news agency RIA Novosti. “But if he goes out into the streets and starts to propagandize, then of course he will be held accountable.”

......

Instead of a boycott of the Olympics, athletes have made individual gestures and called for gestures of protest, such as a pride parade, to be held during the games.

Is it too late to give this guy (Castro) the death penalty?

he says:

he is not a violent person
he is just a "sex addict"
after he got divorced he had to dedicate several hours daily to masturbation
the sex with his victims was consensual
again, he is not a violent person
everything worked out in the end because they are back with their families and are happy!
