Good Morning Wednesday Morning, Fellow Seekers.

From the "You Paid For It" File, we give you Mark Kessler, the police chief of scenic Gilberton, Pa.

About a week or so back, Kessler created a stir in his Schuylkill County community by posting a video to YouTube where he used profanity and, for some reason, fired off automatic weapons. Some local residents believe he should lose his job for the display.

Reached for comment by WNEP-TV in Wilkes-Barre, he was unapologetic, telling the station that he posted the video because he believed his First and Second Amendment rights were being eroded.

"I have always been pro-gun and always will be in pro-gun and I don’t have no apologies to make. I expressed myself and that’s the way it is,” Kessler told the station. “I chose to use profanity to get someone’s attention in that video. To wake people up and say ‘hey, if you don’t stand up for your rights, you’re going lose them.’”

We did some checking on the YouTubes and ran across this video, where Kessler sorta-not-really apologizes for his behavior in another profanity and automatic weapons-laced tirade.

There's also this profile posted to Salon, which details Kessler's extracurricular life as the founder of a militia-style group called the Constitutional Security Force. Local leaders say they can't control what Kessler does in his off-hours.
