A white male was arrested Monday inside Atlanta Intl Airport after his family alerted police that he was having "mental challenges" and had threatened to "shoot it up." The family of Billy Joe Cagle (49) told police that he was streaming on social media and was heading to the airport to conduct an attack. They also told police he was in possession of an assault rifle, which was later found inside his vehicle. Just as Cagle entered the south terminal, Atlanta PD arrived and arrested him. He was not armed at the time. Police searched his Chevrolet flatbed truck that was left parked outside of the airport and secured an AR-15 assault rifle with 27 rounds of ammunition inside of it. There was also a dog in the vehicle, which has since been returned to the care of Cagle's family. The dog was not harmed. Link: YouTube.

"We did have a tragedy averted today. I do believe that Mr. Cagle was headed back to his truck to retrieve it, and I do believe he was likely to use that weapon inside the crowded terminal he had just seen," said Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum. Cagle has been charged with terroristic threats, criminal attempt to commit aggravated assault, possession of firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a felon. As a convicted felon, how the maniac obtained the weapon remains unclear. Every eleven minutes someone in the US is killed with a firearm, either by an assailant or by a self-inflicted wound. In an average year, 2,005 people die and 5,029 are wounded by guns in Georgia, which has the 8th-highest rate of gun violence in the US. Georgia Firearm Licenses in 2021: 304,124; 49.2% of Georgian adults live in homes with guns. The NIH reports that one in six US adults live with a mental illness (43.4 million in 2015). Dummkopf Trumpf has done nothing to restrict firearm ownership in the US, instead he idiotically passed an Executive Order loosening regulations. Trumpf Moronic Gun Executive Order.
