How does a broke college student get 15k to 20k worth of stuff? Bad smelling fishy, where did the money come from?????

I am thinking the same thing. could be many factors there. Perhaps the parents floated him a loan? Who knows.

What I want to know is where did the kid get tear gas? Explosives? Body Armor? You can't mail order this stuff. I know by looking at bullet proof vests for the hell of it a couple months ago. These are listed as "Law Enforcement Only" items. I don't put on the tin foil hat often but are we looking at Fast and Furious II? ( UN gun vote coming up.) I will really wonder if Obama and the Media go full retard on gun control next week. (Trot out the victims, etc.)

All of the above can be purchased online without ID.

I was not aware that the body armor is “Law enforcement only”, I new it was highly regulated, due to a couple of bank robbers in California. The fact that it is only sold to law enforcement officials, opens this up to obvious corruption even more.

CEO of TacticalGear.com, which said it sold Holmes a Blackhawk urban assault vest for $107, along with a triple pistol magazine, an M16 magazine pouch and a silver knife.

Are you thinking a domestic "Fast and Furious" sting gone awry again?

Tear gas and body armor, yep, it can be purchased online. Explosives he created himself, the information is online or maybe The Anarchist Cookbook-

bullet proof vests

Be wary of the media calling things what they aren't. Apparently he bought some type of vest at retail. So he had something that *looked* like a "bulletproof vest" but wasn't necessarily the real thing. The stores that sold him the stuff (I think was Bass Pro and Gander Mtn) listed what was sold.
