Adam Kokesh Sentenced to Two Years of Probation for Gun Stunt
Videotaped himself loading a shotgun in D.C. on Freedom Plaza
A D.C. Superior Court judge Friday placed Adam Kokesh, the Fairfax County gun-rights advocate, on two years of probation in connection with an Independence Day incident in which he videotaped himself loading a shotgun in Freedom Plaza, near the White House.
Kokesh, 31, spent nearly four months in D.C. jail after his arrest, but was released in November after he pleaded guilty to carrying a rifle or shotgun, possession of an unregistered firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition. In a separate case, Kokesh pleaded guilty to marijuana possession.

In a totally un-related incident today, I plead guilty to picking my ass w/o a license.
Looks as if Adam was right. City ordnance doesn't trump the constitution. Well,it's not supposed to. The judge deserves two years in prison for being a traitor.
