Local man arrested after Facebook threat to 'shoot up' schools

[Royalty]

SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. - Police have arrested a 19-year-old Skagit County man who threatened on Facebook to "shoot up every school within a 100-mile radius" if his gun rights were taken away after the Connecticut school massacre.

Authorities had been looking for the man, identified as Korry Martinson, 19, since Friday at about 7:20 p.m., after he allegedly posted the threat on his Facebook page, police said.

The threat was seen by several people, who reported it to the Sedro-Woolley police and the Skagit County Sheriff's Office.

Martinson's mother also was contacted by several callers. When she confronted her son about the posting, he got into an argument with her and took off before police arrived at his home.

Authorities had been looking for him ever since, and the FBI was monitoring the case, said Lt. Lin Tucker of the Sedro-Woolley Police Department.

Martinson finally turned himself in on Sunday afternoon, when a friend brought him to the Sedro-Woolley police station. He was placed under arrest and booked into the Skagit County Jail for investigation felony harassment.

A screenshot of the Facebook threat allegedly posted by Martinson said:

"Okay, so about that shooting of the little kids.

It honestly stuns me that people like this actually exist.

Sounds like a well-adjusted individual. I definitely can't see any issue with people like that being allowed to own firearms. :rolleyes:

Better not take away this guy's gun rights then. :rolleyes:

No wonder my brother in law is always saying we need to shoot the people like this, among others, all the time. That's his cure all for anything, shoot it!!

Well hopefully he loses his right to own a firearm any way.

I assume felony harassment counts as a felony charge which would make it illegal for him to own guns.

Seen something similar quite often, nearly always see a comment like "Let them try" when someone mentions laws regarding banning firearms and confiscating weapons etc. Why such a strong attachment to the Constitution? Didn't it also declare that a slave was only 60% of a Human being?

You know what, it used to, but not anymore!

Yes, the internet has allowed me to be exposed to idiots from all over the World, so I'm not surprised by most people any more.

If its true with the charge, his guns rights will be taken away, which means he will do as he said anyways? The logic of some gun freaks amaze me.

Felony charges and the right to vote vary by state. Some states will return the right if the felon is pardoned. Some return the right when their sentence has been completed. And some do not suspend the right to vote.

People will obtain what they want whether it's illegal or not. Just look at drug and marijuana users.

Right about now we should start building jail cells on a moon and ship all the **** heads like this to there. Too many brain dead live on this planet.

Another sensible and reasonable gun US owner. No wonder everyone trusts the gun communities so much!

Doesn't this doughball realise it wasn't that long ago he was just a kid, and in my eyes he still is.

And yet his mother/relatives could and this would happen all over again...

Some people just don't know when to keep their big, fat mouths shut, do they?

It amazes me how sensitive this subject is.

[chrisj1968]

this non sense happens because the idiotic media sensationalize the gunman and not the victims. take away a morons action and others can't try to out do him.

[The Evil Overlord]

What's just as bad as this is, some people make jokes about what happened......

Makes me sick
