A worker at an Atlanta grocery store heard 'clicking sounds,' and it sounded to him like someone was loading weapons inside a restroom stall, he told police. Then he saw an an 'AR-15-style rifle' leaning against the wall.

The sharp-eyed Instacart worker is getting credit for helping officers to stop the man wearing body armor and carrying a half-dozen guns from roaming through the Publix grocery store Wednesday, police said.

The new details are included in police incident reports released Thursday by Atlanta police. The man's intentions are not explained in the reports.

The worker, Charles Russell, 'heard clicking sounds from the bathroom stall,' a police report states. 'It sounded to him like someone was loading firearms.'

Russell then alerted a manager at the store, urging him to call 911.

Thats too bad. Now the Democrats will have to come up with another false flag shooting to replace this one.

Technically correct, but that is a long gun. When I think of open carry I think of sidearms.

Interesting...they’re moving from shooting up supermarkets to just threatening to shoot up supermarkets, and then having their ‘heroes’ stop them. Still helps the gun control push, but not as effective as a bunch of bodies.

Maybe their getting a bit tired of bloodshed?

Under what scenario are you carrying five firearms while wearing body armor, loading them in the stall of a grocery store bathroom?

He probably saw someone with a MAGA hat and was in fear for his life.

Perhaps he was using the bathroom stall to load and prepare his weapons because his Mom would have gotten mad if he did it at home?

Sometimes the simple reasons are over looked........

In all seriousness.......very glad he was stopped. Good grief.

A wannabe copycat?

Isn’t this ultimately the most common thread? - these shooter want to be SEEN and KNOWN?

Perhaps I’m not the clown. Let’s consider the facts-

Who goes into a public place bent on destruction empty? I think any reasonable person would say no one. Given this behavior I think hes not smart or motivated.

At any rate you ‘law & order’ types willing to hang the guy should carefully consider your position. If he can be marginalized and charged it’s a very short step for you to endure the same treatment. The fact is no one here can definitively say what the motives were. Presently the worst charge is very poor judgement.

Bingo. And right on queue. It happened under Obama as well. I don’t know how they cause it. Power of suggestion or mind control or what? That baffles me, but the clockwork way in which “mass shootings” just magically appear anytime the Rats are in power and pushing gun control and outright bans, is just too perfect to be coincidence. I will never know how they control it.

I was given a primer on how they do it, by a freeper (who has since passed on).

He did exactly this, overseas, for a 3 letter agency. He would provoke candidates to act out. His formula:

1) Find a mentally-ill person.
2) Using internet (nowadays) or personal contacts (the old days) provoke them. Give them enemies. Talk of conspiracies against them. Make them (more) paranoid.
3) Make sure they have access to a device of destruction, be it a gun, a bomb, whatever.
4) Make sure they are on their meds, first, then suddenly make sure they are cut off.
5) PROFIT!

Some here think it is ok to carry around an arsenal to a supermarket. That guy was going to murder as many people he could plus I bet he was sent in by the democrats.
Note that mass murders will happen more and more with the democrats in charge.

Why would I trust you if you judge before all the facts are known?

You’re right. Silly of me to think a guy wearing a bullet proof vest, who sneaks in a bag full of guns into a supermarket, who then loads ammo into the guns in a bathroom stall is just a misunderstood good guy who really had no bad intentions? Do you have any idea how silly you sound?
