The guy who was arrested in Santa Monica with weapons and bomb-making materials who said he was on his was to Gay Pride events gave the left some brief hope when he turned out to be a non-Muslim white guy.
But, it looks like James Wesley Howell, while very much white and male, may also be a gay Bernie Sanders supporter.
The officers said that the other complainants and witness stories were consistent and none seemed intoxicated. Two of them referred to an incident earlier in the day in which Howell had pointed his gun at his boyfriend. A report was taken after this incident as well.
This story is going to get stranger. While he had weapons and explosives, he apparently did not make statements (as initially reported) that he was going to blow up and kill people at the gay pride parade. He did state he was going to the parade. Seems to be someone who likes guns and explosives, and may also be stupid enough to not know you shouldn’t cross state lines with them in your car.
My favorite comment from the Heavy.com story: “Which bathroom did he use?” LOL
“gave the left some brief hope when he turned out to be a non-Muslim white guy… may also be a gay Bernie Sanders supporter.”
Is that the same Left / Establishment that Bernie fans are hating on because the Left so clearly “rigged” things for Hillary? If so, wouldn’t the left still have “hope” cuz this guy posted a pro-Bernie meme comparing Sanders and Clinton, and they would have been ecstatic to spread the news that he was a BernieBro and not a Hillary supporter?
Or, you know, the fact that he also posted anti-Obama and anti-Hillary screeds and, as gospace mentioned, didn’t actually say ANYTHING threatening that we know of, about anybody, could change things. He is a bi dude who said he was going to attend Pride that day. Aside from the hillbilly arsenal in the car, nothing actually happened.
The cops deserve serious credit for finding and handling this (the day after Orlando, you don’t allow a highly/irrationally armed guy 2000 miles from home to wander off to Pride), but there may not be a there there.
Meanwhile, in almost every Muslim country, gays continue to be outlawed and killed, but it’s only GUNS in America that are the problem.
Liberalism really IS a mental disorder.

The dude was a Bernie Sanders supporter
