Md. Man Calling Himself 'A Joker' Accused of Workplace Shooting Threat

PALMER PARK, Md. -
Calling himself "a joker," a Maryland man with an arsenal of guns threatened to shoot up a business he was being fired from, and was wearing a T-shirt that said "Guns don't kill people. I do" when police confronted him, authorities said Friday.

The 28-year-old man, identified in a search warrant as Neil E. Prescott, told a supervisor at software and mailroom supplier Pitney Bowes that he wanted to see his boss' "brain splatter all over the sidewalk," according to a search warrant.

"I'm a joker and I'm gonna load my guns and blow everybody up," Prescott said, according to the warrant.

Another false accusation prosecution based on hearsay.
A public smearing of the guy's reputation and character to support their over-reaching unconstitutional actions.
He has a big mouth, collects guns and was outspoken about the very thing they did to him.
Nothing criminal.
"Dismissed.
Uh, Your honor? The 20 million dollar counter suit?"
Judgement for the plaintiff.
Court adjourned.

It's starting to look like the former USSR around here.

I'm both ways here. He's got a big mouth' not illegal. 2) He made a bad choice to threaten. Threaten is a minor crime. He has a lot of guns; perfectly legal. So, he goes to trial for a threat. Meanwhile, "Authorities" have confiscated his private possessions and he will not see them for a while. They will undergo shot tests without his permission, be registered if some of them are not, and more of his rights will be violated BEFORE due process.
But, I have to admit, he's an idiot and acted like one in front of the wrong people!

Lucky for him that he didn't do this in Ocean City. They just ordered 82,000 rounds of ammo and a dozen or so (dual barrel of those taser guns. Remember the movie RED?
