Damn, they charged him with a terrorism charge. About fucking time we started rolling these out.
Two counts of unlawful discharge, Two counts of shooting at a nonresidential structure. Three counts of committing a terrorism act. Three counts of criminal damage.
Before you feel to satisfied with the cops and prosecutor:
They could have arrested him 2 years ago when he was cutting up and stealing signs…
But the cops literally said they were too scared, and the prosecutor agreed that was a valid reason not to charge him
Despite evidence pointing to Kelly as the perpetrator, Weich said law enforcement did not move to arrest him. Weich said that Phoenix police feared that approaching Kelly would pose a threat to their safety. A prosecutor out of the Phoenix City Attorney’s Office declined to pursue charges, Weich said.
So they let him run around for two years until he shot up a Dem campaign office three times and was driving around with machine guns…
Kelly was arrested about 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday during a traffic stop. Kelly’s attorney Squires said his vehicle was stopped using a grappler that hooked the car from behind. “That is quite shocking to a person who’s never had any previous allegations at all,” Squires said in court.
Squires said in court the car was then surrounded by more than a dozen law enforcement personnel.
The prosecutor said Kelly had numerous guns in his car, including a machine gun. He did not have his cellphone. Similarly, no cellphone was tracked behind during the shootings at the Democratic office, the prosecutor said. That led authorities to believe he was on his way to “potentially do something,” the prosecutor said.
Cops is cunts.
That is a completely on brand response. Reminds me of Uvalde.
I understand about being scared of a guy totally loaded on guns, but if the government doesn’t still do their job in spite of it, they are unable to govern in this case and have ceded their authority as a government.
You misunderstood…
When they were too scared for their own safety it was in 2022 when he was stealing signs from people’s yards or cutting them up with a pocket knife.
The candidate had to hire a private investigator because cops wouldn’t investigate, and in the report it mentioned he showed signs of far right Christian extremism (his target was a Jewish Dem).
Cops said they were too scared to do anything, and the prosecutor refused to press charges.
Because cops were two afraid of a pocket knife, he kept going to the point of shooting up campaign offices and carrying a machine gun along with other weapons.
The cops allowed the situation to become more dangerous because they were afraid to step in.
No, I understood. The cops were scared for themselves. I understand that, but they need to do things anyway or they are not doing their jobs as the cops. It weakens the mandate of the government. These guys didn’t do their jobs so the only good justification for the police having any power falls apart.
“But now is not the time to talk about gun control.”
It’s always too soon to talk about gun control. That’s the beauty of it for them.
I never understood why you need that many. Like in one location. Like are you opening a store? I recall the 1 guy had a bunch of guns so he didn’t have to reload. But like 100s? You cant carry that many. Literally more guns than blades of grass on lawn.
If you believe the propaganda that Democrats want to take your guns and were on the verge of a civil war, then it makes total sense.
Translation: them fuckers is crazy.
Have to be. Not a good return unless he planned to sell these illegally.
Illegally? I don’t know the law in AZ but if he rolled on over here to Texas he could sell them as private sales without any issue. I once purchased a .45 ACP in the parking lot of a police station.
Naa I meant when THEY come for yo gunz and it’s banned to sell them. He can turn a profit.
Oohhhhh, my bad.
so they are spare parts? I know nothing of gun maintenance.
Could be, most gun parts actually have a limited life span. Barrels for instance last between 20-25k rounds.
I mean, you’re not going to use all of them at once. Maybe you have your everyday carry pistol, and a few more pistols that you like to shoot. Maybe you have a few rifles dedicated to hunting for the family. Maybe you have a few rifles that you shoot at the range for fun. Maybe a machine gun or two just to have one.
Hang on, that’s still less than 20.
Maybe he collects them?
Do you think he also collects explosives? Because they found those too.
No no, this is the southwest. He’s holding that for a friend. Whose trying to trying to get the Road Runner. Always buy Acme TNT! Nothing blows up in your face better than Acme!
Well now I’ll be disappointed if they don’t find a wooden sign with “YIPE!” printed on it.
He’s gunna go blow up an old computer monitor on BLM land a mile and a half down the road from the sign that says, “absolutely no tannerite” if he’s anything like my friends, lol.
I never understood why you need that many.
You don’t.
You drastically underestimate grass.
But he could just be a collector. Maybe he likes war movies or action movies and likes collecting the same ones that they used or built in the movies.
The south west is a red/orange desert of death with few patches of green. Nothing you say will change my mind! Fake AI video news! Seriously though, I was Mostly referencing: "There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass” attributed to Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamot in ww2. First thought I had when I saw 120 guns confiscated. Murica!!! Yeehaa!!!
I gonna cast doubt on collecting as a form of Fandom but I will welcome being wrong.
Oh good point. From a glance at the article, it looks like they mostly have appropriate potted plants, so yeah probably not much grass.
They got him while he was likely on his way to do a ‘mass casualty attack’, with machine guns in the car and left his cell at home. They stopped his car with a hook strap that wraps around the wheel of the car. He was also investigated for incidents 2 years prior…
