Update on Gilberton Pennsylvania Police Chief Mark Kessler

On August 26th, 2013, just four days prior to the day that Gilberton Pennsylvania Police Chief Mark Kessler was scheduled to complete his suspension, Kessler posted a new video online, which has since led to accusations of threatening public officials. Gilberton Police Chief Kessler was originally suspended near the end of July for videos posted online which show him firing an assault weapon and calling for the killing of “libtards.” In one video, Kessler is seen firing his assault weapon into a paper target, which he clearly states is US Secretary of State John Kerry. In another, he states the target represents Democratic Representative and House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi. Kessler received a thirty day suspension for using Gilberton Borough Property in those earlier videos, without authority or permission. The assault weapon which Kessler brandished and fired in the videos belongs to the Gilberton Police Department.

This is outrageous! If the State Police don't step in then I think someone is going to end up dead.
