FBI finds hundreds of weapons at home of suspect in Arizona Democratic Party office shooting
Jeffrey Michael Kelly, 60, was also arrested on suspicion of leaving white powder on political signs in Ahwatukee, according to Tempe police.
Damn, they charged him with a terrorism charge. About fucking time we started rolling these out.
Two counts of unlawful discharge, Two counts of shooting at a nonresidential structure. Three counts of committing a terrorism act. Three counts of criminal damage.
Before you feel to satisfied with the cops and prosecutor:
They could have arrested him 2 years ago when he was cutting up and stealing signs...
But the cops literally said they were too scared, and the prosecutor agreed that was a valid reason not to charge him
Despite evidence pointing to Kelly as the perpetrator, Weich said law enforcement did not move to arrest him. Weich said that Phoenix police feared that approaching Kelly would pose a threat to their safety. A prosecutor out of the Phoenix City Attorney’s Office declined to pursue charges, Weich said.
So they let him run around for two years until he shot up a Dem campaign office three times and was driving around with machine guns...
Kelly was arrested about 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday during a traffic stop. Kelly's attorney Squires said his vehicle was stopped using a grappler that hooked the car from behind. "That is quite shocking to a person who's never had any previous allegations at all," Squires said in court.
Squires said in court the car was then surrounded by more than a dozen law enforcement personnel.
The prosecutor said Kelly had numerous guns in his car, including a machine gun. He did not have his cellphone. Similarly, no cellphone was tracked behind during the shootings at the Democratic office, the prosecutor said. That led authorities to believe he was on his way to "potentially do something," the prosecutor said.
“But now is not the time to talk about gun control.”
It's always too soon to talk about gun control. That's the beauty of it for them.
They got him while he was likely on his way to do a ‘mass casualty attack’, with machine guns in the car and left his cell at home. They stopped his car with a hook strap that wraps around the wheel of the car. He was also investigated for incidents 2 years prior…
I never understood why you need that many. Like in one location. Like are you opening a store? I recall the 1 guy had a bunch of guns so he didn't have to reload. But like 100s? You cant carry that many. Literally more guns than blades of grass on lawn.
I mean, you’re not going to use all of them at once. Maybe you have your everyday carry pistol, and a few more pistols that you like to shoot. Maybe you have a few rifles dedicated to hunting for the family. Maybe you have a few rifles that you shoot at the range for fun. Maybe a machine gun or two just to have one.
Hang on, that’s still less than 20.
Maybe he collects them?
I never understood why you need that many.
You don't.
You drastically underestimate grass.
But he could just be a collector. Maybe he likes war movies or action movies and likes collecting the same ones that they used or built in the movies.
The south west is a red/orange desert of death with few patches of green. Nothing you say will change my mind! Fake AI video news! Seriously though, I was Mostly referencing: "There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass” attributed to Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamot in ww2. First thought I had when I saw 120 guns confiscated. Murica!!! Yeehaa!!!
I gonna cast doubt on collecting as a form of Fandom but I will welcome being wrong.
