WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. —
A possible mass shooting in Palm Beach County may have been stopped just in time.

Sheriff Ric Bradshaw says 22-year-old Damien Allen, of Loxahatchee, was arrested Sunday after investigators found an arsenal of weapons, disturbing online messages, and a closet full of law enforcement uniforms.
 
“The investigators that worked this case — there’s no doubt in my mind they have stopped a mass shooting that was going to happen,” Sheriff Bradshaw told WPBF 25 News. “This guy was ready to go, had all the equipment, had the propensity to do it. It’s just a matter of what day was going to set him off to go do it.”

Inside Allen’s home, deputies say they found 18 firearms, including what appeared to be automatic weapons, more than 300 pounds of ammunition, and full PBSO deputy uniforms. Also recovered: a taser, a two-way radio, and a fake body camera made with a 3D printer.

Did they get a written warrant from a federal judge before arresting the creep? :whistle:

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

It would be really hard to do much carrying 300 pounds of ammo and bristling with 18 firearms. Who is this guy, The Hulk?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

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.
