Texas man arrested after threatening to ‘shoot up’ Fort Hood in retaliation for Vanessa Guillen’s murder: cops

A Texas man upset at the death of Vanessa Guillen wrote on Facebook that he was “close” to being an active shooter at Fort Hood Army Base, according to police.

Mario Eloy Pena, 48, was arrested Saturday and charged with making a terroristic threat after he allegedly threatened to “shoot up” the base.

Pena, whose wife reported his posts to police, said he was “upset and wanted to retaliate for Vanessa Guillen’s murder in Fort Hood Base,” according to an affidavit obtained by KSAT.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
What a bloody idiot.

As if shooting more likely innocent people will do anything to right an unrightable situation.

It just creates more victims, and keeps the cycle going.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
