Two Missouri men were arrested on firearm charges after a tipster warned law enforcement the pair were traveling to Kenosha, Wisconsin, with assault-style weapons, according to court documents.

Michael M. Karmo, 40, and Cody E. Smith, 33, were arrested at a hotel near Kenosha on Tuesday and charged with illegal possession of firearms, the Department of Justice announced Thursday. According to the criminal complaint against them, they were found with a major cache of firearms and weapons in their vehicle and hotel room that included an AR-15, a shotgun, handguns, a dagger, a saw and magazines.

Civil unrest, violence and looting erupted in Kenosha after Jacob Blake, who is Black, was shot seven times in the back by a Kenosha police officer on Aug. 23. Two protesters were fatally shot, and a third wounded, by an alleged 17-year-old gunman during protests in the days following Blake's shooting.

16. And the page is gone

No surprise. The never-right is quick to erase truth protect their own.

[Progressive Jones]

24. I just looked at it. nt

[Rustynaerduwell]

5. Dammit-they were gonna be heroes.

They were going to Kenosha to shoot some people in self defense.

[Midnight Writer]

20. And collect some of that sweet GoFundMe cash. We now pay mass shooters.

6. These thugs do not fit the "pro-police" profile

Both men had prior convictions that prohibited them from possessing firearms and ammunition, according to the DOJ.

In interviews with the FBI, Smith allegedly said he and Karmo traveled to Kenosha to attend a rally for President Donald Trump on Tuesday and "to see proof of the rioting," according to the complaint.

14. Nope, they perfectly do

Just like how the most rabid brownshirts for Hitler were the same ilk.

7. Meathead Fascists looking for their trDump inspired...

... Blue Lives Matter street war.

[Captain Zero]

8. Racists and opportunists

Looking to shoot something up. Probably INTENT ON targeting POC.

9. Blues arrested by cops -- that is big butt hurt.

10. They typically claim they're needed to "defend" something.

I suppose that proves they don't think very highly of the local police, county sheriffs, state highway patrol and national guard officers that are paid to provide that service.

In reality, they are just gun-humpers dying for an excuse to pop a cap into a liberal.


KY...........

11. I'm afraid to ask

What was the saw for?

[Wicked Blue]

17. That was my question too

Maybe for dismembering bodies?

[stillcool]

22. that jumped out at me too...

along with the "major" cache of weapons.

[Squidly]

27. you never know

when you have to cut down a tree or two...

[JohnnyRingo]

12. They immediately proved how smart they are.

From the article: "Both men waived their Miranda rights, according to the complaint."

Even though both had prior convictions that made possessing guns or ammo illegal, Karmo posted pix on Facebook of himself posing with assault rifles. Then, in every public defender's nightmare, they passed on their inherent right to remain silent.

Perhaps they think the system is on their side?

[brer cat]

13. They know trump and Barr are.

What more do they need?

[madville]

15. These are some real geniuses here

Convicted felons (or misdemeanor domestic violence) and posing with weapons on Facebook? Anyone having those weapons in those areas would be legal as long as they aren’t a prohibited person like these two morons.

[scarytomcat]

18. police need to clean up their act or these guys are them

police need to be on the side of law and order not violence
they should turn in people they know who are planning murder

[NoRoadUntravelled]

19. Glad to know this.

It's good news.

[Warpy]

21. It's about fucking time the cops caught a clue that these wannabes and suckups

constitute a mob and are a lot more dangerous than people with signs, drums, and loud voices.

[rockfordfile]

23. good
