Illegal invaders planned a July 4 terror attack with assault weapons. Why isn't this big news?
Why aren't the nation's socialist media all over a potential mass shooting with "assault weapons" like the attack in Highland Park on July 4?
Richmond police chief Gerald Smith revealed in a news conference Wednesday that two "non–U.S. citizens" were planning a mass shooting at a Fourth of July celebration in Richmond. The attack was thwarted on July 1 when Richmond police received a tip from a citizen. The police chief stated that a heroic citizen overheard the planning for the attack, which was to take place at the Dogwood Dell Amphitheater during the annual Independence Day celebration, in a phone conversation. A call to the Richmond Police Department on Friday led to the eventual arrest of two Guatemalan men in the country illegally.
Roommates Julio Alvarado-Dubon, 52, and Rolman Alberto Balacarcel, 38, were arrested separately, and each was charged with being non–US citizens in possession of a firearm, officials said.
Officers seized two assault rifles, one handgun, and 223 rounds of ammunition.
"They were planning to actually shoot up our Fourth of July celebration," the chief said. "We know what their intent is, but we don't have their motive."
The weapons seized by the Richmond Police Department appear to be AR-15 platform rifles along with several standard-capacity magazines. There also appears to be a handgun with some standard-capacity magazines, along with several boxes of ammunition.
Doesn't it seem strange to you that the media didn't make a lot more of this news? It's axiomatic that the nation's socialist media coverage of a story is directly proportional to its potential to accrue power to the anti-liberty left.

Writer doesn’t say which Richmond!? TX?, CA?, FL?, VA? Only reason I know it’s VA is I’m familiar. Geez.
Theyre democrat voters?
223 rounds of ammunition? Thats either quite the coincidence or a misprint.
“Coincidence”
My thoughts exactly, with obligatory /s
VA. Yeah, we should all be more careful to clarify location and place. “Dogwood Dell” narrowed it down for me a little; but I had to look up the invader’s name to get it straight.
Drop the assault weapons crap. You lose all credibility when you use terms like that. It proves your ignorance and that make what ever else you write suspect.
Same thought.
Likely a misprint. Of course, it could be "223 pounds of ammunition" - ammo cans are heavy.
(\sarc ;>)
KY also. But it was Virginia.

The corporate media is not socialist. What a tone deaf statement. They’re fascist.
It’s not bigger news because there’s no such thing as an ‘assault weapon.’
Because the media were too busy reporting that Derek Chauvin received 21 additional years for violating St. George of Floyd’s Civil Rights.
Really, which story is more important to the media?

Why would a conservative site use the made up leftist term “assault weapons”? There is no such thing. It is a scary sounding term which has no objective meaning. Quit playing their game.
It isn’t big news because it doesn’t advance the gaslighting agenda the media is pushing.
It’s their job to control what people think. They’ve admitted it.
Note that the magazines seized with the AR-15 are 30 round magazines but the article identifies them as “standard sized,” (which they are) not “large capacity.”
Is that because the perps are illegal aliens intending to commit a terrorist act on U.S. citizens instead of some kind of non-existent “evil, white, racist, nationalist, supremacists?”
Because the media is 100% in favor of destroying this country and turning it into a marxist “paradise”.
Virginia now has expanded background checks with mandatory reporting of lost/stolen firearms. It will be interesting to know how and when they acquired them.

I noticed that too, I think probably it is just that american thinker is conservative and is making a point about the correct terminology.
