"Heavily Armed Man at 'No Kings' Protest Had 13 Bombs at Home, Police Say"

By Neil Vigdor and Hannah Ziegler

A Pennsylvania man who was arrested on weapons charges at a “No Kings" protest against the Trump administration on Saturday is facing more than two dozen additional charges after investigators said they found a cache of homemade bombs at his home outside Philadelphia.

The man, Kevin Krebs, 31, of Malvern, Pa., first caused alarm among people in the crowd at the protest in West Chester, Pa., when he tried to hide a Sig Sauer P320 handgun under his raincoat and another layer of clothing, the authorities said.

The protesters pointed him out to law enforcement officers, who said that they found nine fully loaded magazines, a bayonet, pepper spray and a ski mask on him and an AR-15-style rifle on the back seat of his Ford Explorer. Mr. Krebs did not have a license for the handgun he had on him, the police said.

During a search of Mr. Krebs’s home on Monday, the police discovered 13 improvised explosive devices, in addition to military-style body armor vests and several drawings of grenades, the authorities said on Tuesday.

1. The protesters did the right thing. Republicans would blame Dems and "Marxists"

Let’s just hope they continue to expose themselves before causing harm and destruction.

The protesters pointed him out to law enforcement officers, who said that they found nine fully loaded magazines, a bayonet, pepper spray and a ski mask on him and an AR-15-style rifle on the back seat of his Ford Explorer. Mr. Krebs did not have a license for the handgun he had on him, the police said.
During a search of Mr. Krebs’s home on Monday, the police discovered 13 improvised explosive devices, in addition to military-style body armor vests and several drawings of grenades, the authorities said on Tuesday.

Mr. Krebs was charged with 13 counts of unlawful possession or manufacturing of weapons of mass destruction, 13 counts of possessing an instrument of crime with intent to employ it criminally, one count of causing catastrophe and one count of recklessly endangering another person.
He was initially charged on Saturday with one count of carrying an unlicensed firearm and was released on $250,000 bond. Mr. Krebs was arrested again after the authorities searched his home Monday and is being held at the Chester County Prison.

How much do these guys feel they have license to kill, because the grifter will pardon them, as he did the Jan 6 insurrectionists and murderers?

13. That is an "open carry" state. I thought they allow anyone to run around with a gun.

If they start to worry about “the left” having guns, we will start to see a big change in gun laws.
