    This attack in Florida was stopped by LEOs

    Potential Mass Shooting Stopped at Major Airport


    The man, 41-year-old Michael Rodrigues, apparently drew suspicion when he was seen getting dressed outside the car. The car turned out to be a rental, but the contents found inside were disturbing.

    Authorities say they found a fully loaded AR-15 plus an AR-15 magazine filled with bullets inside the glove compartment. They also found multiple knives hidden under a blanket.

    According to WPTV, surveillance footage showed Rodrigues entering the airport around 5 a.m. before he gradually made his way to a gated employee-restricted area. Two hours later he was seen walking over to the dumpsters and then going back into the trunk of his car.

    Rodrigues was ultimately arrested without incident and faces numerous charges, including possession of a firearm as a convicted felon, trespassing at an operational area of an airport and possession of cocaine. He's being held on $1,040,000 bond.

    No, impossible. We need our citizenry to be armed in order to stop these attacks that largely wouldn't happen if our citizenry weren't armed in order to stop these attacks that largely wouldn't happen if our citizenry weren't armed in order to stop these attacks that largely wouldn't happen if our citizenry weren't armed in order to stop these attacks that largely wouldn't happen if our citizenry weren't armed in order to stop these attacks that largely wouldn't happen if our citizenry weren't armed in order to stop these attacks that largely wouldn't happen if our citizenry weren't armed in order to stop these attacks that largely wouldn't happen if our citizenry weren't armed in order to stop these attacks that largely wouldn't happen if our citizenry weren't armed in order to stop these attacks that largely wouldn't happen if our citizenry weren't armed

    That was very sad yesterday, and hit close to home. I worked there doing computer work for them for a little bit... Lots of good folks there...

    So you're saying that his party affiliation dating back nine years when he originally registered to vote should matter?

    The only media in which it has even been mentioned at least so far has been social media the tweet that you posted being a prime example although it wouldn't surprise me if one of the Fox (not actually) News talking heads mentions it.

    Good thing the media posted it here on this forum. Since it matters so much to them.
