he sure doesn't strike me as a guy who would get into a shootout with feds.....strange story




Got pretty good sources on this, so believe me when I say that this guy lived a double life to the fullest extent one could.

He was taking the guns seized by security at the airport home, stockpiling them, and selling them on the black market to some very bad people. Same with drugs. He was using flights out of the airport to move those things throughout the country.

He was also allowing certain individuals through security without being checked, for some hefty amounts of money. It's believed they were moving large amounts of drugs and guns through security and paying him - and a couple others - off in the process.

This was not some good, innocent dude. The ATF was actually doing their legit job in this instance. He was not firing on LEO out of self defense because they caught him in bed asleep, he was going down in a gunfight.

and i'd like to say i called it on page 2

selling seized firearms from the airport given his position was the most plausible theory.

Thanks for the insight. It never ceases to amaze me how for everything big happening in our country there is a poster in that area and they have good insights. Pretty cool thing about this board its why I like it. Even in weather threads. Always someone in or close to any bad weather path to give us the scoop.

It’s honestly better than MSM and I say that with meaning. I don’t trust any normal media sources all of them have been compromised.

That’s interesting.

Charleston International Airport isn’t a large airport, but it services approximately 3 times the number of passengers Clinton International does.

Security certainly intercepts a handgun, knife, or loose bullets from time to time, but nowhere near a quantity that could be considered a volume enough to stockpile and sell to very bad people.

I’d assume they have TSA there, if he was smuggling drugs, thugs, and weapons he’d have to bypass them in favor of private jets.

Doesn’t smell right, I bet someone was on the trail of a story and someone influential made sure he was the fall guy.

How many guns and drugs are seized at an airport? Knowing you will 100% be searched or scanned....

You make it sound like he was on Barry Seal's level.. I doubt it.

I agree.. But i'd sure like to see a list of this large quantity of firearms he confiscated and stockpiled..It just doesn't add up.

This was not some good, innocent dude.

Who told you this? How do we really know? One thing is certain; the man will never be able to tell his side of the story.

Why not arrest the man at work at the same time you surround his house. Go in with a warrant, search, find the incriminating stuff, and take him to criminal court for prosecution? If that had been done we could be confident about what happened.

BTW, every poster on here who chimes in every now and then about some sicko who supposedly raped a kid or something, and says he should be shot right away. Why waste resources on him? Well, this is why. They shot this guy right away. They killed Epstein before his trial. And now we'll never know. Maybe that "sicko" wasn't a sicko at all. Maybe he had something on a big politician.

If that’s true and I believe it, good riddance.

That is not what the search warrant application was based on.
search warrant application.

this idiot was buying guns legally and reselling them. even selling some at gun shows.
he bought over 150 guns within a 3 year period. 6 of these guns were later recovered from crime scenes. one gun was recovered from a crime scene 2 days after this guy bought the gun from a FFL holder.
