SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Authorities in Santa Monica arrested an Indiana man Sunday morning ahead of the LA PRIDE parade in nearby West Hollywood after the discovery of possible explosives in a car, according to California law enforcement.

Just before 3 p.m. ET, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti told the Associated Press a heavily armed man was arrested, and that man told police during his arrest he was going to the PRIDE parade. Investigators removed items from the suspect's white Acura sedan and placed them on the sidewalk near the driver's side door, according to KNBC.

Santa Monica Chief of Police Jacqueline Seabrooks identified the suspect on her official Twitter feed as James Howell of Indiana. She said Howell told officers he wanted to harm the PRIDE event. Chief Seabrooks said he was arrested for weapons and explosive materials possession.

< You can tell a person by their eyes...look at his eyes...he’s not all here!!!

I'm guessing the WH staged shooting unit pulled the prescription logs for psychotic drugs and targeted him for psychological manipulation via the Internet. Just had to make sure he gained access to the weapons needed via one of their black market weapons subcontractor agents...

He was arrested by the Santa Monica PD on 11th Street near Olympic Blvd in Santa Monica. The parade was approximately 7 miles away in West Hollywood.

What evidence is there that he intended to drive to the parade?


Yes, it's a strange location and he was lurking in the bushes which caused the cops to appear.

I1th St has the Salvation Army, a building supply and a Lexus place N. of Olympic, and an old neighborhood of single family homes and apartments S of Olympic. The area is getting unscaled and gentrified like the rest of Santa Monica.

Again, it's a very strange place to hunt for Pride Parade members.

Bigger PR in Cali. It’s the land of fruits and nuts after all. Lots of snowflakes out there.

Plainfield city limits start right on the west edge of the Indianapolis International Airport.

Nice, huh?

I think Tangerite needs to be hit by a 2400 fps projectile. Don’t think a car on a highway could ever set it off.

Particularly since you’d have to work hard at carrying several long guns and some tannerite in a vehicle in such a way as to generate a chargeable offense.

The only thing that would put him in jeopardy would be actually saying he was going to do something, or actually having mixed the tannerite components, or actually carrying the guns loaded.

Is the guy really stupid enough to cough up, essentially, “aw shucks, I was gonna go kill some fags and I guess you caught me”???

Is there any corroborating postings or history with him and crazy talk?

Law enforcement is already walking back their hysteria, all this guy ever told them is he planned to go to the pride parade to look for a friend. Any other time Freepers would speculate that the guy carrying three rifles and the chemicals to mix tannerite was probably looking up a friend to go out to the desert for some shooting fun, but today everyone must be a terrorist.

Okay logging back out from the craziness

It was premixed? Well, he’s not liking that. It says right on it, can’t transport after mixing!

Takes a huge KE shock to initiate, pretty much has to be faster than 2000 feet per second.

WHEN FRESHLY MIXED Tannerite won’t just go off by being bumped.

Like me, it does not age gracefully.

If this guy is white I’ll believe it’s a made up story to take the blame off muslims.

It’s illegal to transport mixed, it’s classified as an explosive then.

Strange indeed. He was knocking on Santa Monica neighborhood doors and windows at 5 am, and neighbors reported a “prowler” to local police. No where near West Hollywood.

do NOT believe this.

The FBI viewed yesterday as a TOTAL DISASTER and understood the sudden political need to CATCH SOMETHING.

They called up their undercover division and asked about if they had some live ones brewing and ordered one of the associated case officers to command the guy to drive to the nearest gay event.

AND BUSTED HIM.

This arrest is an OBVIOUS smoke-screen.

The “perp” is some blonde/blue eyed deluded IDIOT who unwittingly is SERVING A VERY HIGH-LEVEL PURPOSE.

Do NOT fall for it —it is a DISTRACTION.
