This looks like he wanted to get caught. The comments online, hit list and internet searches just begged for law enforcement’s attention.
...
As far as I can tell, he kept his troubled thoughts to
himself.
The court document references a document he deleted from his computer and a letter he mailed to himself.
If the use of non prescribed opioids is a crime punishable by prison, then just judging from the number of positive drug screens seen for opioids in drug tests that are ordered for reasonable cause, the prisons would be full and bursting. Can’t think of a single instance where an employee ( not dealing) was prosecuted. Its hard enough just to get them fired. Although he probably did violate military regulations of proven to use and faces a court martial.
Its not that uncommon.
I know several former Marines who later went to the Coast Guard. They loved the service life (and benefits!) & they felt the Coast Guard gave them more opportunity to directly effect US people in a positive way.
I also know of several (various services) people who via the National Guard (Not coast Guard!) went officer to enlisted and back to officer. It was due to them moving around (civil job moving them!) and they wanting to stay in the Guard. They took whatever slots were available. It all sounded odd, if I hadn’t known them I might not have believed them.
49 year old with 28 years in the military, living in a “basement apartment” with his wife? WTH?
Anyway, the article seems to suggest that the number of weapons was not really so extraordinary.
It seems like there might be a lot more to this story, which we may never know. Kind of like Las Vegas massacre....
I don’t know much about pharmacology but even he admits that he needs to get off the Tramadol.
“Buying the weapons that are part of the fantasy moves it past fantasy and into conspiracy to commit a crime. “
You have to be kidding. How many people have said something about a civil war being imminent, defending their way of life, etc...and then bought some guns.
By that standard almost any gun owner/prepper/activist could be charged.
They didn’t specifically threaten anyone. You have to put all these things together.
Saying “I want to defend myself” is different from “I want to kill my neighbor and his family”.
Think about something. A man says, “if you illegally remove Trump from office in a coup, I will resist you with violence”.
And the FBI goes into red alert and see it as a threat because...THAT is exactly what they are in the middle of attempting to do. It’s almost comical if you think about it.
It doesn’t appear he communicated a threat to anyone. Not that I’ve seen.
He did some interest searches on bomb-making and terrorism, and white supremacist sites... but never actually took any action, didn't seem to have a specific plan, and by merely writing on his computer: “dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on Earth,” which might be factual, and can't be a crime in itself.
The reason the Tsarnaev brothers were ignored by the Feds, while the Russians were screaming at us to look at them, was because the FBI was too busy looking at conservatives, tea party members and NRA members.
Because, think about it - who poses more of a threat to a government employee: (1) a tea-party member who wants to cut government spending, high salaries and gold-plated benefits - or (2) a Muslim terrorist who is going to kill Americans... and as a result, will create MORE government laws and programs, hire more federal employees, and increase spending and agency powers?
The government histrionics about this case betray their true motives.
I am going to wait for the rest of the story on this one. It’s all too perfectly packaged for fake news and just up the street from the corruptables at FIB HQ. Highly suspicious circumstances.
A 49 year-old lieutenant? That could mean a couple of things.
One, he was a prior enlisted who went to OCS or perhaps was a warrant officer who laterals over to 03E, or
Two, he was an academy grad that didn’t do too well and they nurse them along thru the obligated service [5 years] and then join the Reserves and gets called up every now and then. There are more than a few of those Academy grads who were near-do-wells once they got to the field but the Canoe Club reinforced and underpinned them enough so that they could maintain some kind of longevity to the service through the reserve component.
I don’t know which one it is but I would guess he was possibly a prior enlisted.
So, a liberal who want to stuff the Covington kids into a woodchipper AND posts publically about it, should face an even worse punishment?
Liberals make these threats and musings every day. If they also own knives and weapons, do you think the Deep State is going to start rounding THEM up?
Obviously he did or we wouldn’t be talking about it. They just may be keeping it quiet because they are watching other people.
There are chat rooms where people talk about shooting up schools and such.
Exactly the point.
His thoughts were all over the map. Looks like the crap you see coming out of the dope psychosis mentality. But there isn’t anything in there you would call a “plan”.
Prosecute him if he’s a doper and call it a day. That’s all there is here.
It wasn’t in any court filings.
And never forget. The FBI telling us this is the same FBI that cleared Hillary, STILL claims Trump is a Russian spy, etc.
We could VERY easily be talking about something without it being factual when it comes from F-troop.
And there are dozens of moslem training camps and mosques where people organize, train with guns, buy compounds, and openly preach jihad.
There are organized Aztlan groups that arm and speak of race war in the southwest.
Antifa arms themselves, uses dope and almost daily communicates about the need for a genocide against white males.
And we hear crickets...
Prattle on, but something isn’t right.
It's not even thought-crime - it's DREAM crime.
