Missouri "Doomsday Prepper" arrested after terrorizing neighborhood for weeks.
Courtesy of Raw Story:
Police arrested a Missouri “doomsday prepper” who investigators said had been terrorizing his neighborhood for weeks.
Neighbors began complaining in May about 36-year-old Roy McCool after he allegedly assaulted a woman in Springfield home, reported the Springfield News-Leader.
Investigators said McCool forced his way into the woman’s home and punched, slapped, and choked her before firing three rounds from a handgun into her living room wall. McCool broke into the woman’s home two days later and stole a bank card and $35 in cash from her children’s piggy banks, police said. Neighbors said McCool’s behavior grew even more threatening about two weeks later, in late May, when he stood in his front yard with a gun and yelled threats toward other residents.
Apparently Mr. McCool, who has one of the most ironic names ever, has also been getting into numerous confrontations with his neighbors, hit one man in the face with a wooden stake, and has been openly displaying firearms to passersby.
When the police arrested his ass he had 10 guns consisting of one AR-15, three other rifles, four handguns, and a shotgun. Not to mention the thousands of rounds of ammunition he had just in case the "gubmint" came after him.
Despite all of that preparation it sounds as if the local police had little difficulty apprehending the suspect, who has been charged with six felonies, including three counts of burglary, two counts of unlawful use of a weapon and one count of domestic assault.
Well that is one less Sarah Palin supporter walking the streets at least.

"...choked her before firing three rounds from a handgun into her living room wall. McCool broke into the woman’s home two days later..."
ReplyDelete3 rounds into the wall and the guy is NOT in jail, still on the loose to break in again? YIKES!
Yes, it's unbelievable that he was not apprehended after this first assault. Why, in blue blazes, was he free to keep terrorizing the neighborhood for weeks? I don't get it.
DeleteThe police were respecting his first amendment rights (at the cost of public safety.)
DeleteExactly!! Why was he not arrested and in jail way back in May???
ReplyDeleteI would begin that newspaper article with "At long last, police finally . . . ." What were the police waiting for - a bloodbath? More and more, we the people, are being terrorized by gun nuts and the police do nothing. One begins to wonder whose side are they on???

We are being terrorized by gun nuts AND religious zealots.

He's lucky the rest of the town didn't use their traditional 2nd Amendment solution:

Too bad he wasn't as prepared for his own doom.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, it took more than a month for the police in the grand state of "Misery" to arrest him. WTF? Why wasn't his ass thrown in jail after the first event?
ReplyDeleteSomething's rotten in Missouri. If this happened here, his sorry butt would have been arrested when he broke into the woman's house, assaulted and choked her.. The cops around here are pretty quick at responding to emergency calls.
ReplyDeleteWhat a damn shame for the woman and the neighbors.
