It started innocently enough: Andreas H. Koertel, 46, was pulled over in a traffic stop.

Then things got hairy in hurry.

Turns out Koertel, a German national, was in possession of meth and illegal weapons, according to the Placer County Sheriff’s Office, so he was booked into jail on multiple charges, KXTV-TV reports.

Wisely the deputies called the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department to see if they could check out a property in Rio Linda where Koertel had been staying.

But detectives encountered quite a bit more than they bargained for Friday.

Here’s what they found, KTXL-TV reports:

Several explosive materials, including two jars of tannerite Several jars of black powder A pipe bomb Numerous cricket bombs A cell phone converted into a detonation remote 20 high-capacity magazines 20,000-30,000 rounds of ammunition Four assault rifles, a shotgun, a rifle, five handguns (two of the rifles and one of the handguns were equipped with silencers) Several passports $30,000 in cash

Those Germans have never been known to half-ass anything, have they?

I'm so relieved to see the Feds were right on top of this!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Rio Linda?

That's where Rush's LIV live.

[Paladin2]

Sounds like an 0bama voter in need of immigration amnesty.

[Roccus]

A mechanic?

"20,000-30,000 rounds of ammunition"

The cops seem to have an estimation handicap.

Several explosive materials, including two jars of tannerite Several jars of black powder

This doesn't pass the smell test....

1. Obama just signed an EO to limit ownereship of various fertilizers including TANNERITE.

2. The dims are frothing at the mouth in anticipation of a ban on Black Powder

3. The high capacity clips is "see we told you only terrorists want them"

4. The cell phone is "see we told you how important it is to track all cell phones"

I wonder if Rush has seen the article he would get a chuckle out of Rio Linda.

[umgud]

Was this a hands free phone?

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

You know that Rush will at least have a comment about this.
