FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 13 (UPI) -- A Florida man accused of stockpiling weapons, seeking a hit man to kill his family and threatening President Barack Obama has been jailed, police said.
Jason Simione, 39, of Dania Beach, Fla., owner of a Fort Lauderdale company that manufactures specialized equipment for the U.S. military, made an initial court appearance Tuesday before Broward County Judge John Hurley, the South Florida Sun sentinel reported.
Simione was being held on $5 million bond, court records said.
Simione's wife contacted authorities Friday, saying he was prone to "violent outbursts, delusional type behavior" and abuse of steroids, Hurley said, reading from an arrest record. He said Simione had allegedly reinforced his home against law enforcement and set up "kill zones" to prevent entry of SWAT teams.
Simione allegedly offered an employee of his firm $150,000 to kill his wife, 1-month-old child, mother-in-law and brother-in-law, Hurley said.
The employees told deputies Simione stockpiled firearms, sniper rifles, ammunition and bomb-making materials and said he had "become increasingly hostile and paranoid" and said the president should be killed.

Simione is the business owner of Bulldog Tactical Equipment in Fort Lauderdale, a leading tactical supply company to the U.S. government and military.
Following Simione's arrest, a BSO SWAT team conducted a search of his Dania Beach home on Monday and found an arsenal of 68 rifles, 10 guns, and a .50 caliber sniper rifle, as well as nearly 70,000 rounds of ammunition. Detectives also found the components of a pipe bomb, although according to officials, they were not assembled.
Detectives said every single item found in Simione's residence was legally owned. Simione's business deputy said his colleague had another three million rounds stockpiled.
"I think he has the place set up to bomb," said a woman who asked not to be identified.
According to the arrest affidavit, Simione's wife, who is divorcing the suspect, contacted BSO to report him. She told detectives he had been showing signs of paranoid behavior and violent outbursts.
Employees said Simione of threw his 9-month-old child onto a table at his office on Aug. 9, causing minor injuries to the toddler. "I watched him on video," said David Bogenschutz, Simione's attorney. "It was clear to me that he was reacting nonverbally towards that allegation."
An employee at Simione's company also told his wife that he sought his help to plot her murder. The employee claimed he refused. Other employees said he repeatedly threatened to kill President Obama.

Throwing him jail won't help a bit. He needs counseling and care.
The mentally ill can not be held accountable for many of their actions.
Help, not prison.

From the article:
An employee at Simione's company also told his wife that he sought his help to plot her murder. The employee claimed he refused. Other employees said he repeatedly threatened to kill President Obama.
"Violent outbursts, delusional-type behavior, even abusing illegal steroids," read Judge John Hurley in bond court Tuesday morning as he addressed Simione's charges.

(53,661 posts)Sheesh. And planning to kill a little baby Too much time, media and money on their hands, these guys.
He needs to go prison and be put to work outside in the sun and fresh air to keep him busy and his mind off killing and onto creating life.
His mind needs cleansing to dump the brainwashing and get the drugs out of him. So glad they caught him before he found someone to kill people for him.
EDIT:
His appearance and behavior appear drug related. Steroids mess up the mind and body. Why did he do it to himself? And why did he think it was his right to kill his family and others?
Wonder if the NRA or Second Amendment Solution crowd will come to his defense...

Simione allegedly didn't want his infant son, Jett, to live if he didn't get custody. (The child's mother, Megumi Simione, had moved out in February when the couple split up.)
Authorities said Simione was in possession of a virtual arsenal of weapons, as well as bomb-making materials, the Miami Herald reports. In all, police said they found 68 rifles, shotguns and handguns, including a .50 caliber military-style sniper rifle that could "put a hole in an engine block," according to Broward County Detective Louie Rivera.
Witnesses told authorities that Simione, who owns the military-weapons manufacturing business Bulldog Tactical Equipment, was stockpiling weapons and making bombs, threatening to kill anyone who tried to remove his child.
Simione's behavior at work was erratic, too, employees say. According to an affidavit, Simione would sometimes use "racial epitaphs" [sic] to refer to his employees, and he talked about how President Barack Obama should be killed for being a "n**ger."

(53,661 posts)Got enough batshit RWNJs trying to break into the White House already. And don't forget the poor, oppressed Adam Kokesh who didn't get to have his July 4th armed march on Washington, D. C.
The Libertarian 'Second Amendment Solution' hero got himself busted playing his arrogant asshole routine elsewhere and didn't get to lead the 'patriot' legions to revolt.
My concern was that if a few policemen 'just so happened' to be gunned down during the fireworks, the ensuing mayhem would have been red meat for the RWNJs with their yellow 'the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants' signs.
They would applaud that from their hidey holes just as they would the death of PBO like this guy wanted to happen. This is how bad it is.
BTW, a REAL march on Washington for civil rights will be held this month to continue MLK's March on Washington 50 years ago. I combined links posted by DU's handmade34 on a Moral Mondays thread with a video.
Made thread of it here in V&MM:
"MARCH ON WASHINGTON" AUGUST 24th, 2013

The spoilt brats with guns who think they're living in a movie would quake in their bunkers seeing real people working for the rights of all. Not just the RK&BA and nothing else.
This is what Americans who love their country should be working on, not this lunatic bullshit. Just because the media is owned by a bunch of cranky conservative billionaires doesn't mean it's the gospel. What a mess.
