"Tactical style". At least they weren't "assault style"

Ok my frustration is they will look at his cache and analyze it, wonder how he got it and try to prevent others from doing the same.

In the one picture I saw, it appears (at Least on the small screen on the phone) that there are home built rifle kits and parts, possibly an 80% lower and body armor.

They are going to continue to push to prevent citizens from owning this type of equipment and will use this loser as justification as to why.




My only "hmmmm moment" with this story that I don't understand is, if everything is as has been reported, this guy has spent a fair amount of money and time building up his cache of weapons and gear. That takes time and planning. How could he be so stupid (fortunately he was) to brag about his plans and essentially sabotage his own evil plan. I guess maybe he really is mentally unstable and we're fortunate that he was stopped.

I do not care about the terms that these people in LE used in this story.

This dude really seems to be a bad dude. I read a few other stories, absolute sicko!

If it were NY would he be out without bail because he was not engaged in a violent felony at the time? Seriously, I'm asking.

No, he would have bail on a few of his charges.

Is a threat "violent"?

Is a threat "violent"?

Yes, depending on the threat.

He could also be held for a mental health evaluation.

I don't know Airborneguy. California, bars' pretty high.

He could also be held for a mental health evaluation.

With a $500.000 bail, I think it may be more than that. Judges can hold without a bail hearing for mental evaluation.

Many of the mentally ill that commit low level crimes, that cannot be held with bail, are held due to mental evaluations.

Then why don't the hold Pelosi, Shitff, Swallowell, the governor and three quarters of the state legislature?

I meant if it happened here. Should’ve been more clear.

 

[Robin]

Easy fella, just trying to lighten thing up a bit.
Robin

 

[Airborneguy]

Huh? I wasn’t being facetious, just correcting myself. It was confusing the way I wrote it whether I was talking about California or what would happen here.

That guy is certainly a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
Crazy eyes, hell those are straight demented eyes.
