"One week after Colorado's movie theater shooting, Maryland cops arrested a heavily armed man who told his employer he was a "joker" who was going to "blow everybody up."
Police said today they believe they "thwarted a massacre."
The suspect, identified as Neil Edwin Prescott in a court document obtained by ABC News, was being dismissed from his job. He made threatening statements to his supervisor at least twice on Monday, police said.
Prescott had an arsenal of about 25 firearms at his residence, including semi-automatic rifles, shotguns and handguns, according to a police affidavit. Police said he also had high powered scopes and magazines and thousands of rounds of ammunition in "40 large steel boxes."
He was quoted as telling his employer, "I am a joker, I'm going to load my guns and blow everybody up," police said."
it's basic Criminology to have a copycat for a well publicized crime and if you'll notice, Mr Prescott wanted to outdo Holmes by shooting up the place of work with a whole arsenal on his side.
I'm waiting for the media to make false, uncalled for, rumors that Prescott might have Autism as well ever since Scarborough's speculation that Holmes showed signs of having Autism.
This thread may not be relative or important as the Holmes thread but I just wanted to point that there May be more copycats in the near future and I felt like sharing it anyways....
I think this kind of copycat sh*t is not doing anything but reinforcing Scarborough's slur he made on Morning Joe and creating more bad publicity for anyone on the ASD, does anyone else agree? :/

Did this guy actually enter a cinema? From the article it seems he planned it and talked about it but never made it to the actual cinema due to his employer contacting police first.

Exactly my thoughts

I think/ I hope, that this guy, threatening at work (aka terroristic threats which he can be/ might be charged with) was calling for help... people that say outloud like that - want to be stopped (thank goodness)...
who knows - I am happy that he warned people in time to be stopped - in case he decided to take his threats further.

Actually I think he was going to shoot up his place of work, but it might had been a cinema.
I was never good at book reports or stuff like that back in school, so you'll have to excuse me and check out the link for the correct details if I did misquote or got something wrong about the article....

So he was calling out for help and might had not really went through with his threats?....

I don't think they will link Autism to this. The guy just got laid off, he was upset said rash things, that would make a good enough defense.
Well then I guess I'm just being paranoid again, I mean this is the AFF user who has posted threads about The Illuminate, New World Order, and now I'm paranoid about President Obama's protection of Israel (The Antichrist?) ....
Oh and please don't start thinking I'm some sort of racists for thinking our President is the Antichrist just cause America thinks he African America.
Cause Obama's not even African American, he's Muslim. And the only reason I know this is because of this article I've read online about Obama's true ethnics...... :/

Although his arsenal is impressive [not saying I approve, just saying its impressive he collected so many guns].
Yeah, even I admit it was a pretty impressive arsenal of weapons, but it's also scary about the amount of damage he could had done if he went through with his plans after all......

MLB, you've got to stop reading those loopy conspiracy-theory websites. They are almost as divorced from reality as Fox News.

And the antichrist is Tony Blair.
Google "Tony Blair Antichrist" if you don't believe me.
Just Google it and there's too much debate on rather or not he is the Anti-Christ....
No politician has ever made peace in the Middle East except Obama, who's now protecting Israel....
Actually I've always learned that the Anti-Christ wasn't going to make peace in the Middle East but offer, with his power, protection for Gods chosen kingdom...
Back to the true topic, I agree that the though of more copycats possibly attempting or actually shooting up a place is really disturbing...... :/
