FBI finds hundreds of weapons at home of suspect in Arizona Democratic Party office shooting
FBI finds hundreds of weapons at home of suspect in Arizona Democratic Party office shooting
Jeffrey Michael Kelly, 60, was also arrested on suspicion of leaving white powder on political signs in Ahwatukee, according to Tempe police.
The reason it fits this sub, is they already knew this guy was an extremist committing crimes 2 years, long before he started shooting up Dem offices.
The cops just felt it wasnt in the interest of their personal safety to stop him, which lead to him escalating his crimes over the years.
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.
Which lead to this:
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.
What a fucking loser
Sorry, this site isn't available in your region.
What the hell!
The cops feared him? or maybe he was one of their friend?
Why would they arrest him? He wasn't selling weed, just regularly doing terrorism.
The tragedy of gun ownership in America is having a stockpile doesn't protect you, it's actually a magnet for criminals and government agents.
When I was young, the gun culture was one of secrecy. It was rude to ask a person what kind of guns they had, and you might never know unless you go hunting with someone. The cowboy clowns of today post their whole inventory on Facebook. And they update it for every new weapon or accessory they buy. (and your typical numbskull gun owner puts more effort into accessorizing than a fashion model).
Knew a guy. Young dude, former military but broke his back during parachute training exercise so out on disability fully. 4k+ a month. Lives in a 4 bedroom house in a modest, rural town. Constantly complained about never having enough money. Dude would spend damn near half his monthly check on new accessories for his collection or a new piece. Every month.
Dude was selfish as fuck and such an idiot. Didn't know until I had to live with him. Glad I'm not stuck there even if life is technically harder.
Great, now not having your cellphone on you makes you suspicious? Must have your mandatory tracking device on you at all times.
Yes, it's the lack of a phone which made this guy suspicious.

Didn't you know? You're now required to carry your
govt issues personal tracking devicecellphone with you at all times forthe government to know your location at all times in the event they decide to deem you a threat to their safetyreasons.
The cops didn't approach somebody that they suspected of having shot up a building, citing safety concerns. The cops allowed a potentially violent domestic terrorist to continue to have the ability to carry out more attacks because that person was deemed to be too much of a threat to engage with. So if you crime violently enough in Phoenix, there are no consequences due to police cowardice? I mean, the only other way to read that is that the police are complicit if not downright supportive of attacks on the DNC office.
So which is it, police cowardice or police endorsement of domestic terrorism?
Take 80% of their budget and allocate it to more functional parts of the local government.
They didn't arrest him for stealing political signs two years ago.
Multiple car plates one that matched on a security camera
