James Wesley Howell, a 20-year-old Indiana man, was arrested in California on Sunday while headed toward the LA Pride festival, allegedly with an arsenal of weapons.

Officers arrested Howell about 5 a.m. PT after getting a call about a prowler, Los Angeles Interim Undersheriff Neal Tyler said. Howell told police he was looking for a friend to attend the LA Pride festival in West Hollywood, Tyler said.

Police found him sitting in a car registered in Indiana and a search turned up three assault rifles, high-capacity magazines, ammunition and a 5-gallon bucket with chemicals that could be used to create an explosive device, officials said....

I think he was headed there because he is a proud gay man.

He was a homosexual that had a falling out with his ex-boyfriend. Let’s see how long it takes for CNN to report THAT. If ever.

It seems like too much of a coincidence that the two events just “happened” to happen at the same time.

Do you have a reference? If we look at the history of mass murder within the homo crowd, we find some of the worst. In fact, when it comes to the mass murder/serial killing of young boys, the queers are definitely the worst. Dahmer and Gacy are top contenders. Oddly, the queers and the muzzies have attacked Christians in America, at alarming rates. An odd alliance indeed.

I live in Indianapolis and heard it on the radio on the way into work. I’ll look around for a web source.

Or a gay guy intending to defend gays from Muslims.

heard it on the radio

If I believed everything I heard on the radio, I'd be hiding in an underground bunker so the space aliens couldn't capture and anal-probe me.

I noticed that most of the story’s about this guy fail to mention that he is Gay.

I’m seeing references to it all over the place, but mostly in comments. Now it looks like the police F’d up and this guy was ATTENDING the Gay “Pride” event, not planning on shooting it up.

They’re just trying to pivot the story onto blaming a white guy, any white guy.

Is it possible the ‘bucket of chemicals’ could be meth fixins? You probably want to be armed if you are dealing drugs, and I hear gays are into meth. But so long as the left has it’s moral equivalence story.

There was never TWO events. Cops over reacted to a gay/bisexual man trying to attend the parade. He was a Bernie fanatic and compared Hillary to Hitler on his Facebook page. Yes he carried guns and drug making supplies in his car, and was acting strange. Meth lab supplies are highly volatile. He was very political but never anti-gay.

There was never TWO events.

Of course there were two events -- this one and the one in Orlando. Fortunately, this one was thwarted. Unfortunately, the other one was not.

This might have not been an “event” at all. The cops are now backtracking on statements, saying he never threatened the parade.

This round of attacks seems to be aimed at LGBTs.
