Police stumbled upon a sizable weapons cache this weekend after responding to a reported shooting in downtown LA this weekend.

Neighbors contacted the LAPD just before 1 a.m. on Saturday after hearing gunfire in an apartment building at the intersection of West Olympic Boulevard and South Olive Street, per Fox 11.

Before getting into the apartment, per the LAPD, officers heard 15 to 20 more shots fired. Police evacuated the building before investigating the unit, per reporting by ABC 7.

Roy Allen Henson, 39, was taken into custody without incident - without any weapons on him - and charged with discharging a firearm and gross negligence.

He bailed out of jail for $35,000 on Sunday, police said. Per the LAPD, there was no indication that the man was planning an attack with the weaponry.

A trove of weaponry and tactical equipment, including manufactured "ghost guns" and parts, a ghillie suit, and tactical armor were recovered from the apartment.

A bomb squad was called to the location, police said, to check a grenade that turned out to be a replica.

Los Angeles Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Comment: What was he doing with all this stuff? Was he working for someone?

Has this guy committed a crime?

If yes, what?

If no, who cares what people do in their homes?

Can I just walk in your home and start opening doors and looking in cupboards for no reason other reason than inherant paranoia??

The guy should of rang 911 and said Ive got a non invited gang in my home....

danny esq That's my question. None of that stuff is illegal, though if it had an accidental discharge or similar it's arguable that he's reckless for having that in an apartment complex. But it's still not illegal unless there's a rider in his lease about it.

Artex It shows the government hipocrisy, hating on people who know the value of being able to defend oneself, ones family and excercising their right to freedom, privacy etc.

I had to fit broadband in peoples homes for a couple of years in the past and some of the stuff I saw was actually encouraging to say the least. People forget the whole break away of English, Irish and Dutch migrating to the US was over the right to bare arms for defense in europe....in defense of heavy handed government that used weapons to round people up and plunder their wealth.

danny esq People also don't realize that the fact that the English colonies that became Canada didn't revolt against the crown is exactly why they have next to zero rights to bear arms since Trudeau took office. They used the Uvalde shooting in Texas as a reason to further increase gun restrictions. Had the redcoats not lit the first statehouse on fire, we would have taken Montreal too.

And that scenario might make for a foundation to a fascinating alternate reality fiction.

Artex Thanks Artex, I learned something there, people in europe often lump Canada in with America but I remember the Queen had some personal involvement in Canada a while back.

Police said there was no indication that no indication that Ray Allen Henson was planning an attack.

Despite of the horrible grammar, that might be true.

I personally have more than ten bows and crossbows with dozens of arrows, but no intention to kill anyone.

Yet...

Interesting, was it their reason to kick in his door? Strange how they are trying to paint this guy as a criminal, maybe he is, maybe he is just an intelligent individual prepared to survive in a hostile environment that has been created around him? I could understand a round going off by accident while working on a gun (judging from the pics) and a neighbour doing what they were trained to do, call the cops and he refused to open the door, soooooo 15 to 20 shots fired and his door is kicked in. Maybe the whole thing is staged to reinforce the parasitic narrative of, white man bad, especially those who believe in in the constitution, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Psstoffgoy UK Police have been practicing/training with drones and firearms heavily since covid. Planning stage.

Pumping up the fear porn. Looks like he prepared for something. Be very afraid as only the Shadow knows.

balboa schwartz · 2023-11-07T19:56:38Z

For whatever it's worth, the 'workbench' area looks staged. Nobody, seriously nobody, who does work like this guy supposedly does has such a jumbled mess in their main work area. Drill press, pieces and parts all over the place, no particular order to anything? The four manikin heads with goggles and masks lined up facing the work area? The door on saw horses with multiple barrels and lowers just lined up neatly, ready to be photographed? The ghillie suit and the body armor standing there? Reminds me of the staged scene in the hotel room in Las Vegas. Just sayin'...

Artex · 2023-11-07T20:12:44Z

balboa schwartz To me that would indicate more of a hobbyist/"cosplayer" than a serious gun enthusiast.

balboa schwartz · 2023-11-07T21:21:52Z

Artex Yeah, the cosplayer thing occurred to me, too, especially the way the two outfits were set up. The hardware looks pretty real, from what is visible in the photos, as do the two gun safes. But I smell set-up.

Artex · 2023-11-07T21:45:26Z

balboa schwartz Lonely people can afford expensive hobbies. I say this after having struck up a conversation with a "furry" at an anime convention some years ago and learning how much their outfits costs (the nicer ones are well into 10s of thousands of dollars and may be air conditioned). The guy I was talking to said "yeah, I could have bought a sports car and tried to attract women that way, but then I learned about the furry community which had women as socially awkward as me and felt this was a better way to spend my money." Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Made me sad. But my takeaway is money not put toward mating rituals often goes toward hobbies. And in this case, yeah, that's real hardware, and some of it is serious, but supposing none of it requires a FFL, it's not that out there. And all the clothing/gear can be gotten fairly cheap at army surplus or online. Hell, I was at a steam engine show in northern WI a couple month back and one guy had a tent full of good/new condition Vietnam era gear that wasn't that expensive. I even saw some nice guns at one vendor (but wasn't sure how that was legal).

What was he doing with all this stuff? Was he working for someone?

Most interesting! Out on bail? Beggars belief, with that arsenal of weapons, was it some kinda false flag in the making? Or is this just the normal civil defence on the streets of LA, nothing to see here and move on.

Here is another idea: they should get rid of compound bills like the NDAA. Each law and amendment should be drafted and published at least a month...
