Coleman Thomas Blevins, 28, of Kerrville, Texas, was arrested on Friday, authorities said.

(CNN)Law enforcement officials have arrested a Texas man who they say was planning a "mass casualty event," possibly at a Walmart.

Coleman Thomas Blevins, 28, of Kerrville, was arrested Friday "on a warrant for a Terroristic Threat to Create Public Fear of Serious Bodily Injury," according to a news release from the Kerr County Sheriff's Office (KCSO).

Multiple agencies worked together for a week to intercept and foil the plan for an attack on the public, the release said, including the Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigations Division, the FBI, the Kerrville Police Department and the US Secret Service.

. . .

"Through the period of investigation, KCSO investigators made contact and conversed with Mr. Blevins, confirmed his affiliation and (his) networking with extremist ideologies," the sheriff's office said.

1. I don't understand! He doesn't LOOK like a terrorist.

🙄

[duforsure]

2. All while Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is pushing for a permitless gun carry law,

To promote an escalation of incitement for them to use violence. The violence will get a lot worse, and more people will vote against these fascists, and their policies, unless we have our votes legislated against being counted, which Abbott would do to win in a second. These crazies doing these mass shooting have been partly radicalized by fascist propaganda , and calls for violence because they've been told they are the victims over and over , and they're not patriots unless the do . The fascists want a civil war.

3. There is a pic at the link

Of the crazy stuff this guy had at his house.

Of course a flag for the confederacy, but there are other flags with symbolism.

And of course a paperback with “Turner” on it.

Basic requirements for the aspiring mass shooter.

Good work on the part of law enforcement.

Abbott, otoh, should resign for being the most out of touch governor in the nation.

4. "confirmed his affliation and networking with EXTREMIST IDEOLOGIES". . . . nt

[Walleye]

5. He should have shot his barber

[oldsoftie]

7. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[PatSeg]

11. And he looks in the mirror

and sees some badass Rambo type.

[Walleye]

12. "Taxi Driver"? Are you talking to me Walmart customer?

[PatSeg]

13. Yes, that's probably very close to reality

[Marrah_Goodman]

32. I was seriously thinking the same thing

[Javaman]

35. I think that would amount to suicide lol nt

[Walleye]

36. I thought of that after I made my post 🤪

[cayugafalls]

38. What barber? Looks like he cuts it himself while blindfolded.

[usaf-vet]

6. Perfect reason to allow everyone to carry a gun without permits.

One guy starts shooting then everybody gets in the fray. Shoot the guy with the gun...... OH WAIT everyone has a gun.... let's see who should I shoot first.

And now why wouldn't the cops wait outside until the shooting stops. And the body count is stable. I guess they will have to let God separate the good guys from the original shooter. Sound like a PLAN.

My plan, never to visit Texas ever again!

9. +1,000,000

[sinkingfeeling]

10. In about a year, I intend never to visit the USA again. Trying to

get out before 2022 election.

[Wuddles440]

15. My wife and I....

have seriously considered leaving as well (actually since Shrub's administration), but now we've decided to stay and fight these fascist fucks.

[PatSeg]

16. I lived in Texas in the mid seventies

for little over a year. When I left, I vowed I'd never set foot in the state again. It has gotten progressively worse ever since. It really is a different country and I don't speak their language.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

42. Other than passing through the N. Panhandle on I-40,

my only stay within the state was for USAF Basic Training back in the day. And it was from March into May so it was pleasant weather. Not a bad experience overall.

I wouldn't even want to drive through the state now, especially with my Bernie bumper sticker.

[PatSeg]

44. I did meet a whole lot of wonderful people,

but the not so wonderful people were a nightmare. I wondered if I could ever again have an intelligent conversation with another person. The Baptists were trying to save my heathen soul and the hard drinking, gun-toting guys were a constant threat to anything that moved.

[JohnnyRingo]

19. That is a problem, but this guy wasn't even allowed to own one.

On some kind of probation that disallows that. Definitely going on the list for life now.
Universal open carry is a terrible idea anyway, though.

[GB_RN]

40. Never Visit Again?

Shoot. My plan? Never busy Tex-ass…EVER.

14. Anyone know what all these flags are?

Other than the confederate flag, I don't recognize them.

[ck4829]

17. I do know a couple of these flags

On the wall from left to right:
Black sun flag - Flag used by neo-nazis
Confederate flag - as you've noted
Flag of Saudi Arabia
Flag of the FET-JONS - When Spain was a one-party state, the one party allowed was Franco's party that he created

The flag covering the table is the flag of the Russian Orthodox Church.

20. Thanx for that

I couldn't figure out most either.

[mainer]

21. wow, a true vexillologist!

thank you.

[mountain grammy]

22. Well he's covered his bases.

[Coventina]

23. surprised to see the Saudi flag in that mix.

Dude is seriously f'ed up.

[ck4829]

24. Sounds like Atomwaffen Division to me

Some of them approve of both Neo-Nazi BS AND Islamic fundamentalism.

25. Thanks for the clarification.

That just seems bizarre to me.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

43. He probably digs the fact that the Saudis

execute by beheading and chop off the hand of convicted thieves.

[Polybius]

28. The Saudi Arabia one is the one that confuses me

It just seems out of place.

[LeftInTX]

34. The Russian flag is not official...It's a rouge thing available on Amazon etc

37. The ROC, huh?

I guess he thinks he's a Cossack too. I think he's a bit confused if he's hanging that up along with the Saudi flag.That is sort of a Cossack haircut though, shaved on the sides and back like that.

Per my priest, the Cossacks are not strictly an ethnic group. They are more like a paramilitary organization, some would go so far as to suggest a "gang" (I wouldn't). Anyone can declare himself (not herself, they are patriarchal) a Cossack but that doesn't mean they will accept you. This dude is a definite wannabe. He better go to confession.

[PatSeg]

18. I was wondering the same thing

[Dr. Strange]

39. The books include:

the Qu’ran, Harassment Architecture by Mike Maand, The Turner Diaries, and Revolt Against the Modern World by Julius Evola.

41. The One In The Middle

Looks like Saudi Arabia’s flag.

[Traildogbob]

26. I don't see the problem

ALL the good guns out there in Texas now, he would not stand a chance. Why waste good money housing him and a trial. Every Texan now is Judge, Jury and legal executioner. Every person in Walmart has full protection and could shoot the gun out of his hands.

[Roy Rolling]

27. Common Thread

99% of these murderers do it for the attention, for the media coverage. They want to be famous. Stop making them media heroes, make them media cowards. Every news story should state how cowardly, fucked-up, and deranged mass murderers are.

Stop making them media stars.

[happybird]

33. +1

[LiberatedUSA]

29. They can add a charge for that hair cut.

[BradAllison]

30. "How dare you arrest him exercising his god given rights!!!!"

Texas will need to jam another bill through.

[Aristus]

31. Bad guy with a gun taken down by good guys with......

...a warrant.

Yeah, it doesn’t feature in the fantasies of the gunfucks. But it’s how shit gets done...
