San Francisco Police displayed an array of high power weapons and ammunition Wednesday that were found in a homeless mans car last month in Golden Gate Park.
Officers had prior contact with the man, but Chief of Police Greg Suhr ended up defending his department even though the suspect got past them with a large amount of weapons.

SF Police Chief Defends Officers After Homeless Man With Cache Of Weapons Slipped Through The Cracks When police found a huge cache of guns, knives, a shotgun, 5,800 rounds of ammunition and camouflage gear in Robert Johns car on July 21st it was thought they may have diverted some kind of planned attack.
Also in that vehicle was a list of names of political leaders, reportedly including President Barack Obama.

Owning a weapon of any kind is a crime in the Serene Peepul’s Republik of San Francisco. Maybe not on the books, but they’ll find something else instead.
They could tell that he had hate in his heart.
In the picture in the article, I see a shotgun a rifle and two pistols. The rest are accessories, holsters, scopes, etc. This is a ‘cache’?
A San Francisco cache. Easier to slip through the cracks.
I don't see anything out of the ordinary. I'd bet most of those 5,800 rounds were .22LR
He commited the crime of doing something the government didn't like, to wit, daring to have weapons in the city of tolerance (ie tolerance for sodomy, but little else)
His crime was to have the names of Democrats on his list instead of Republicans...
One of the ‘pistols’ I saw is actuall a flare gun it looks like.
You gotta admit, that’s a pretty scary looking accessory belt.
That shotgun must be HIGH POWERED because it is black! That belt with holsters is black also - very scary.
Looks to me like a 20ga shotgun and a 22 rifle.

Well they only make the laws to make everyone a criminal.
Yes thought crime.
What is he charged with?
Cache, we take more with us just to go plinking.
Simply a reminder for himself of who to vote for!
I got more than that in the back seat of my pickup.
