Maryland Mass Shooting Suspect Arrested

Authorities in Prince George's and Anne Arundel counties have foiled what they believe would have been a mass shooting in the style of the one that killed 12 people in a Denver-area movie theater, police sources tell ABC 7 News.
Law enforcement sources tell ABC 7's Brad Bell that the suspect, who has yet to be identified, was arrested in Crofton on Thursday night. According to officials, the man was facing termination from his job in Prince George's County.
Authorities say they found an "arsenal" of weapons in his home at the time of his arrest and that he had made threats directed toward his employer.

Looks like another pre-emptive strike on the constitution by the Government mercenaries.
There was no credible threat.
No probable cause enough to justify this LEO home invasion.

LEO's should be charged with multiple criminal acts.

MUCH better to have, as 11:40 said, a CREDIBLE threat.

How many people have stated at one time or another, they would like to shoot their boss, or someone else.

If they were to lock up everyone who has said something along those lines, they couldn't build prisons fast enough.

And last I knew, have 20, or 50, guns was no crime.

He got fired and was mad. Who wouldn't be, especially in this screwed up economy.

I'm not saying what he did was right, it wasn't. But the only crime I see that he committed was terrorist-tic threatening.

Threats plus the ability to carry them out (i.e., having an arsenal) sounds pretty credible to me. How far should he have been allowed to go before law enforcement stepped in?

Until he committed a crime, and that goes for everyone else as well.

He committed a crime when he threatened his boss with bodily harm and his boss knew he owned weapons. (terroristic threatening).

After watching the video I learned he is a federally licensed gun collector. So that would explain the high number of weapons at his residence.

We will all learn more as time passes and more facts become available.

Peace.
