Gilberton Police Chief Mark Kessler believes he did have permission to use the equipment he was shown firing, and does not believe he did anything wrong.

"It's a shame that they didn't stand up for the Constitution," Kessler said in a phone interview. "I might use some colorful language, I might have hurt some feelings, but I wasn't out to hurt anybody."

I tried to look it up and came up empty. I always find it funny that these lunatic gun jerks love to act like they are military people.

Dude, if you can't wear the ACUs properly, then don't wear them!!!! It's completely offensive-jerk.

This jerk makes my blood boil to the point that I can't make a coherent sentence...sorry.

Who puts this stuff on the internet? This man is dangerous. The borough council needs protection until he's reined in.

Sad to say, but that's our reality today in the good ol' US of A.
