Let’s talk about Gun Control.
Changing the legal age for buying guns will SURELY stop tragedies from happening, right?
A teenager with a semi-automatic rifle and 100 rounds of ammunition was found sitting in his car outside of a high school sporting event near Dallas, police say.
He is 17. The legal age for purchasing a gun in Texas, and in most other parts of the country, is 18.
This teen had his gun ILLEGALLY.
Are you catching my drift yet?
Diego Horta, 17, was arrested on Tuesday night on drug and weapons charges and is being held on $1 million bond.
According to the Rowlett Police Department, an officer approached the teen while patrolling near Rowlett High School and the city’s community center after 9 pm, as two sporting events were wrapping up.
‘We’re glad that our officer encountered him early,’ said officer Cruz Hernandez, a spokesman for the department in Rowlett, about 20 miles northeast of Dallas.
‘He had the weapon, ammunition and a mask … Whatever we prevented, the outcome was going to be bad.’
Yeah… this is a problem.
And while I’ve mentioned that I no longer want to give mass shooters attention… this kid is a LOSER who should serve as an example of just how STUPID THIS IS. He is not a mass shooter. He’s a scrub.
I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS STUPID CRAP. GET IT TOGETHER, AMERICA.
Hernandez said the officer approached the car because it seemed suspicious and saw the semi-automatic rifle on the seat.
The officer took the teen into custody and initiated a search of his car.
Police found more than four grams of a penalty group two drug they believed to be hallucinogens.
They also found an illegal club and about 100 rounds of ammunition.
AN ILLEGAL CLUB.
ILLEGAL.
AS IN, AGAINST THE LAW.
He still had it. He still had drugs, and KIDDIE PORN.
Both illegal.
WOW! It’s almost like laws don’t keep bad things out of the hands of bad people!
YOU DOOOOOON’T SAY!
Hernandez said officers obtained a warrant and later searched Horta’s cellphone, where they found an image containing apparent child pornography.
He declined to elaborate on the content, but said it did not appear to be from consensual sexting.
Hernandez said the investigation was ongoing but a charge related to the image was pending.
UGHHHH
An earlier release from the Rowlett Police Department said police had no specific evidence to substantiate beyond a reasonable doubt that Horta planned to harm anyone.
Hernandez said with the recent school shooting in Parkland, Florida, and highway shootings in Dallas, including the fatal shooting of a postal worker and shots fired into a police car on nearby Interstate 30, the department has been exercising added caution.
He added that officers were briefed about the two sporting events- a soccer game and basketball championship- before the patrol shift change.
He said the arresting officer’s normal patrol area includes Rowlett High School, where the events were taking place.
He also noted that Rowlett students were not playing in any of the games, and that Horta is home-schooled and not a student at Rowlett High or any of the participating schools.
Court records did not show attorney information for Horta, who is charged as an adult with possession of a controlled substance and unlawful carrying of a weapon in a weapons free zone.
SOMEONE SNUCK A GUN, AN ILLEGAL CLUB, AND 100 ROUNDS OF AMMO INTO A ‘WEAPONS FREE ZONE?!”
How is that possible?!?!?!?!
So um… how many LAWS did this kid break? I’m very very very surprised that NOT ONE OF THEM stopped him.
I’m sure you’re all equally shocked.
