Gilberton, PA problem with sherrif. militia

[tbburg]

I can't get to the original article, linked page won't load.(dammit! where's my tinfoil!) Here's an excerpt from the dailykos article linked at the bottom of the page. The kos article doesn't give enough background to tell if this is any more then a tiff between a police chief and a city council member. Anyone heard anything about it?

Whatever the truth is, I don't believe it's related to the tea party movement in any way. 'No way the mainstream press would keep it quiet.

Welcome to Gilberton, Pennsylvania, where men with loaded guns, propping up a suspended police chief accuse all other citizens of being “tyrants”. It is a place where men with Swastika tattoos claim the “other people” are the Nazis. What, didn't you hear about this on CNN, Fox, MSNBC, or really anywhere else? Isn't NPR even interested in this story? For whatever the reason, no one is touching this. Perhaps the Federal government fears a stand off and doesn't want this to snowball, or inspire other towns with similar demographics to go the same route. Whatever the reason, this is a true case of media blackout.

Public officials openly threaten every member of society who holds a different political view than they do, and councilmen are strip searched and arrested without cause if they don’t fall in line with prevailing opinions.

Anyone who tries to fire the Police Chief is be forced to live in fear of retaliation from a militia of armed terrorists. Pennsylvania police chief Mark Kessler is the head of a political organization which refers to itself as “The Constitution Security Force.

Warning: kos article sounds WAY overblown and hysterical.

I call BS on the Daily Kos.

I generally consider the dailykos to BE bs. I'm just wondering if there's anything to this or if it's all a pack of lies.

Well, it is a SOCIALIST news paper, in a SOCIALIST state that has nearly eliminated private firearms ownership and sends the VICTIMS of violent criminal assaults to prison for fighting for their lives.

Besides, John Kerry is a traitor, and SOCIALISTS suffer from a Mental Disease and/or Defect, so "tard" applies.

No. the daily mail is the UK's equiv to our 'Sun' tabloid.

I think The Onion is slightly more reliable.

Not really. A lot of "gunsgood! No!guns bad! NoGood! Nobad!" Nothing on alleged intimidation, illegal arrests, etc.
