“Prieto did not know the individuals were working with the government, but instead believed that they shared his racist beliefs and wanted to commit a mass shooting to incite a race war,” the U.S. attorney’s office in Arizona said in a statement announcing his indictment.

Prieto was ultimately arrested while driving east from Arizona through New Mexico. In his vehicle authorities said they found seven firearms, which he said he was taking to a gun show in Florida where his mother lives. The government agent and informant said Prieto told them he was heading to Atlanta to do reconnaissance. The concert selected for the attack was scheduled to run from May 14-15.

Authorities searched his Prescott home, which he shared with an elderly man, and recovered approximately 178 firearms. These included some suspected automatic firearms and short-barreled rifles, which are illegal to possess without proper registration, prosecutors said.

In an interview with federal agents, Prieto admitted to planning a mass casualty event in Atlanta but said that it was only a “fantasy” and something he never would have actually done. He said he planned to call it all off when he regrouped with the two individuals at a gun show in June, authorities said.

Prieto’s defense attorney, in requesting his pre-trial release last month, argued that the federal government had not presented adequate proof that his plot wasn’t more than fantasy or that he is a flight risk or danger to the public. His alleged racist beliefs, “even if true,” also should not be a basis for denying him bail, they added.

A judge disagreed and ordered Prieto to remain jailed, citing the “strong” weight of the evidence against him and the lengthy prison sentence he faces if convicted.

Each conviction for firearms trafficking and transfer of a firearm for use in a hate crime carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. A conviction for possession of an unregistered firearm carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, the U.S. attorney’s office said.

Prieto’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.

Really gets the noggin joggin. There are a few people here on this board who seem even more racist than Prieto.

I lol'd. The best defense the lawyer can come up with is "He was only pretending to try to start a race war" . They must have given him a public defender.

>I lol'd. The best defense the lawyer can come up with is "He was only pretending to try to start a race war" . They must have given him a public defender.
He's been caught dead to rights, 'I was merely pretending' really is the best argument you could make in his sitution.

>>1303910
i'm sure the govt agents did nothing to encourage him and did not lead him on into saying things so they can arrest a boomer that they know would roll over without a fight. He doesn't even have an AR in those pictures. Try harder, grabbers.

>>1303911
I am also sure they didn't. Good point.

Why is it that every time a racist right-wing domestic terrorist gets thwarted, right-wingers jump to their defense and claim that the FBI was trying to entrap them?

This is what's known as a thoughtcrime.

It's not thoughtcrime when you have detailed plans of how to commit a crime. It's conspiracy.

>>1303942
>implying implications
I take issue with the fact that you can literally commit a crime by thinking something up in your head and writing it down, without anybody actually being hurt.

>>1303945
I refuse to believe you genuinely think if authorities hear someone they know has a large arsenal of weapons say in no uncertain terms they are actively planning to commit a mass shooting, they should not be able to act until the person actually begins killing people.
I think it's much more likely you're arguing for the sake of arguing because you are bored.
And that's fine. But your time is more valuable than this.

>>1303947
>in no uncertain terms
He said it was a fantasy.
The whole "he was going to commit a massacre" shtick is a conclusion that was asserted by the federal government, not the guy being convicted for the thoughts he had.

>>1303954
>When one of the other two participants said they did not have an AR-15 rifle, which was the firearm Prieto wanted everyone to use, Prieto supplied them with one, prosecutors said.
Providing someone with the specific firearm you want to use in a mass shooting isn't just talking about a fantasy.
He's also not being prosecuted for having thoughts. He's being prosecuted for firearms trafficking, transfer of a firearm for use in a hate crime and possession of an unregistered firearm.
I understand that my engaging you is feeding into what you're looking for here so the very act of my responding to you is detrimental to my point.
But I'm certain you have genuine opinions on things we could argue about all day, if that is truly how you want to spend your time.
Again, I refuse to believe you genuinely believe what you are typing here. Arguing for the sake of arguing is a waste of your time.

>>1303875
>and possession of an unregistered firearm,
what? there literally is no such thing as a federal firearms registry. most states don't have any firearms registries. I live in an anti gun state and have 4 unregistered firearms and they were all legally acquired because there is no fucking registry

>>1303875
why did you post a link to the atlanta journal constitution, but then post the article text from huffington post?

>>1303877
>. A conviction for possession of an unregistered firearm carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, the U.S. attorney’s office said.
there is no federal registry of guns. what the fuck statute is this retard talking about? the brady act literally bans the feds from making a registry of guns or gun owners

>>1303917
because it literally always turns out the feds were involved and telling him to do it. its just like how every mass shooting it gets revealed that the FBI knew the guy and had been to his house multiple times

>>1303962
>He's also not being prosecuted for having thoughts. He's being prosecuted for firearms trafficking, transfer of a firearm for use in a hate crime and possession of an unregistered firearm.
1) He was a registered firearms salesman with a legitimate FFL to operate at a gun show. That's where he was larping while selling firearms to undercover agents.
2) He was arrested in a state that doesn't require gun registry (most states don't and there is no federal gun registry regardless).
3) His last name is Prieto.

>>1303962
>and possession of an unregistered firearm.
what the fuck even is this? the brady bill bans a firearms registry. how the fuck can you get charged with federal "unregistered firearms" laws when no fucking statute exists?

>>1303992
>>1303947
a. this guy was selling guns. if you are a gun seller you are going to have guns
b. define "a large arsenal". I have 3 rifles, a shotgun and like 6,000 rounds of ammo and I'm sure you and the dems and the huffington post OP pasted from would call that an arsenal
>why do you have so much ammo
the same reason people go to costco, shit is cheaper in bulk and it doesn't go bad

>>1303998
I dunno if you meant to quote me but him being a gun seller or having a lot of guns has nothing to do with conspiracy to commit a crime being illegal.

>>1303999
I'm sure he did nothing wrong and the feds entrapped him

>>1304002
Sure, but to be clear, you've based this on absolutely nothing. You're just giving me your feelings. You don't like that he was arrested for conspiracy so you've assumed he did nothing because it makes you feel better. You don't have any evidence whatsoever he was entrapped.

>>1304007

That and his confession, you moron.

what confession? the lawyer said he was shitposting. he said something to federal agents who were entrapping him, that isn't a confession

because they have less accountability than a bipolar girlfriend

So according to /pol/ logic
>If a guy is caught amassing 200 guns with the clear intention of committing a massacre to set off a race war
It's a thought crime, you can't charge unless he actually does it.

>If said guy commits a massacre with his amassed 200 guns.
He was a false flagging fed.

go back, faggot. Also he was literally a gun seller. Do you say the dildo seller you buy dildos from is amassed 200 dildos because its his inventory?

doesn't sound like a confession if he said he would never have done it and sounds like the judge is a jewish democrat

No Excuses Allowed. No 'Memes' Allowed. No Opinions Allowed. No Fun Allowed. Good.
Prieto-boy here is about to have his pretty lily white butt more than spanked in prison: by the very people he wanted to 'Accelerate' against. Better accelerate towards the exit when you drop the soap, pretty white boi.
...oh wait: there are no exits for you in the cell block: and you can't escape more than just that prison, just as Tyrone & his pals can't.
Moral for those with the same '...in Minecraft' excuses: as this case demonstrates, you no longer have the right to those excuses. Thus No Opinions Allowed. Good. Did Prieto-boi's 'excuses' save him...?!

It's well established that the mafia was driven out of Las Vegas, Nevada and relocated to California. Taking note of that illegal activities are becoming more and more difficult, they entered politics to ensure their actions were permitted under the law.
Man, where have you been?

Adding to what the other anon said, the CIA is complicit in a tremendous amount of human trafficking and opioid smuggling throughout the United States. They have what's known as a "black budget", used to spend on all sorts of shenanigans, which is funded through the above activities.

I didn't realize Bill Clinton was a financial advisor who gets caught up laundering money for the Mexican cartels because his business partner gets murdered for skimming money from them and he has to make up the debt.

>>1304311
Bill Clinton was working with the cartel to smuggle drugs into Arizona, both before and during his time as Governor. The Clinton Foundation itself is basically one big money laundering organization.
