A 22 year-old man armed with multiple guns was arrested on Wednesday in Atlanta after a shopper overheard him loading weapons in a grocery store bathroom.
Charles Russell was entering the restroom in a Publix supermarket when he heard "clicking sounds" coming from a bathroom stall, according to a police incident report. Then he saw an AR-15-style rifle leaning against the wall.
Russell, who works as a shopper for the grocery delivery service Instacart, rushed to alert Publix staff, who then called security. Soon after, an Atlanta Police officer arrived at the store and arrested Rico Marley, who was found with six loaded firearms, including four handguns, an AR-15-style rifle and a shotgun.
Marley was also wearing body armor, according to the report.
While police have not yet said why Marley brought the weapons into the store, Russell said seeing the rifle put him on edge following the mass shooting days earlier at a Boulder, Colo., grocery store that left 10 people dead. That attack took place less than a week after a series of shootings killed eight people, including six Asian women, at Atlanta-area spas.

Could be a mentally ill guy who feels the world around him is collapsing and wants to make a stand and a statement, or it could be that these guys are brain washed plants who are, with good timing I might add, being physiologically energized to carry out this heinous activity to install enough fear in the masses that the common citizen demands gun control. It has been a growing trend that the citizens of this country willing hand over their rights in the need to feel secure and safe. Think about it. The chances of a private citizen in this particular location answering an armed perp with return gun fire is 1 in a million chance as this area of Atlanta is made up mostly of millennials who don't and wouldn't own a gun. The only chance of anyone responding to an attack like was getting ready to happen would be a possibly armed security guard. Everyone else in the store lives in a high rise with in a block or two of the store and maybe some GA Tech students. This was a staged plan for maximum effect. You don't see this shit happening in rural locations or suburbs in and around Atlanta because folks are carrying all the time. I think these shootings are being staged to install fear in the group that just elected our current president and who buy into government is their god and politics is their religion.

Man, I agree with you. Lockdowns or not, if these people wanted to, they could have gone to a grocery store and shot it up anyways. MK ultra type stuff I bet. Its just too much of a coincidence that these are happening now with such frequency. The spa guy might get a pass, if it is true about his activities there. Bonkers plus guns usually equals bad news.

Surely wasn’t going duck hunting. That is a lot of weapons. What type of container did he use to walk around with all those weapons.
