Footage Captures Man Accused Of Building Chemical Weapon Inside Walmart Store
cbs2la ^ | 07/21/2016

Posted on 07/21/2016 6:38:48 AM PDT by BenLurkin

The man wearing all black is initially seen in the security footage from June 18 blending in like any other shopper.

But, authorities say, he didn’t come to the store to shop, but to build a chemical weapon.

“This is a very bizarre case,” said Eric Sonstegard, the Oxnard Assistant Police Chief.

Detectives identified the suspect as Martin Reyes. They say he went to the store after conducting research online on how to build a deadly chemical weapon.

Once inside the store, police said the man assembled all of the ingredients from store shelves, which included some kind of electronic appliance.

Police said he used a socket near the stationary section to plug in the appliance, which was then designed to set the chemical weapon off.

“This device could have caused a lot of harm,” Sonstegard said.

I don't know how common the name Martin is for Hispanics but this Martin reyes from Oxnard was killed by his wife. Could be his dad.

‘Isn’t diversity “our strength”? That is what our pinheaded “leaders” say.’

They do. Which is why we now have the demographic disaster that is California.

If we ever can get elected officials who will deport illegals this state could rejoin America.

Aren't all their sections pretty much stationary? Frickin' moron journalists. Stationery, stationary, what's the difference? It isn't a spell-check issue.

Milk and chocolate chip cookies. Look what happened to Richard Pryor when he dunked just one cookie in a glass of milk.

Good for you for “if you see something, say something”.

Roughly where in central IL? I grew up in Peoria.

And grammar - re-read the headline again and you’ll see it’s ambiguous too. At least it wasn’t eats shoots and leaves.

Story is reported with the perps identity and long criminal history revealed. Is his identity revealed because it’s Reyes and not achmed? Are they sure? How sure? Given his character as a career criminal suggests he was likely exposed to prison dawa - often successful to convert convicts as it gains them better grub and presumed security. The fact that “motive” is yet to be determined only adds fuel to the fire.

And if footage captured him, why did the police have to, also?

Hispanic I think. His tattoos seem like pretty typical latino gang tattoos.

Martin is a pretty common name for hispanics, and Reyes is pretty common too.

Mom told me early on - pay for it before you use it. She didn’t specify chemical weapons but I bet that’s what she meant.

Ask for your post to be removed. Criminals read FR too. Don’t tell people how to create harmful/fatal items.
