Man armed with 100 rounds of ammunition arrested at Missouri Walmart
The Springfield (Mo.) Police Department says it responded to a call of an active shooter at a Walmart Neighborhood Market Thursday evening.
Police then say the man walked into the Walmart Neighborhood Market where he grabbed a cart and began pushing it around the store. Police say the man was recording himself walking through the store via a cell phone. The store manager pulled a fire alarm, urging people to escape the store. Police say the man then made his way out an emergency exit where a firefighter held the man at gunpoint. At that moment Springfield Police arrived on scene and detained the man.
The Springfield Police Department could not confirm the nature of statements said by the man to those inside of the Walmart, but did confirm that the man had loaded weapons, and over one hundred rounds of ammunition. Police also observed many shoppers hiding outside the Walmart and at nearby businesses. Lt. Mike Lucas said it was clear the man's intent was to cause chaos, saying in part, "His intent was not to cause peace or comfort. He's lucky he's alive still, to be honest." Police identified the man's vehicle and are investigating the possibility of more firearms inside the vehicle

As Oscar said "the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable "
No wonder he was a grouch.
A little bit of common sense would go a long way and fortunately the prosecutors have shown that.

Just imagine walking into the Asda and seeing this.
I'd want them arrested for being utterly crazy. Seriously, how do you tell the difference between these nutters and someone about to gun down the frozen vegetable aisle? I suspect if they looked a bit different (ie they weren't white) people would be diving for cover into the ice cream freezer.
Bonkers country.

Same stupid guy in a crappy hat....Just imagine walking into the Asda and seeing this.
A man fully secure in himself and in no way compensating for anything, no siree.
here's a hope he was buying condoms while in the pharmacy section so he won't reproduce.
