Billy Joe Cagle, 49, is charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, criminal attempt to commit aggravated assault, and making terroristic threats. Authorities discovered a semi-automatic weapon and 27 rounds of ammunition in his truck after his arrest.
Cagle’s family had contacted the Cartersville police earlier that morning, who then informed Atlanta police about the potential threat at the airport.
That would have been a high body count. Hitting the security check point, during a government shutdown.
I’m happy the family caught it in time.
A tricky point . You have the right to bear arms except when and where the authorities don’t want you to.
He was planning on shooting up an airport, no flying somewhere with a weapon. Massive difference.
…you must have missed the part where he is a felon, which isn’t allowed to carry after their conviction, and the part where the family knew of his plans to attack others.
I mean, you don’t have a right to shoot up an airport though.
That’s kind of the important detail here.
