‘I Am the Real Joker’: James Holmes Copycat Threatens Washington, DC

When “The Dark Knight” director Chris Nolan created Heath Ledger’s “Joker” character, it‘s obvious that he didn’t mean to inspire a raft of deranged people to pick up weapons as part of a twisted project to imitate the behavior of a fictional mass-murdering clown. Yet that may be the trend that is emerging, following the shooting in Aurora, Colorado, which now appears to have inspired a good share of copycats. From Washington, DC’s NBC news channel:
“We believe a significant threat has been averted,” officials said in a press conference today about the search of Neil Edwin Prescott’s home — where police and ATF officers found numerous guns and ammunition.
Police from several jurisdictions searched the home in Crofton, Md., Thursday night after alleged threats referencing the “Joker” were made earlier in the week.
Law enforcement sources told News4 that Prescott made a more than one phone call Monday to a coworker, in which he made threats toward his employer — a subcontractor for Pitney Bowes — which was ready to fire him. Prescott was upset about prospect of losing his job and he told his coworker, “I’m gonna load my guns and blow everybody up,” according to a search warrant.
Law enforcement sources tell News4′s Pat Collins that Prescott made threats — saying something to the effect of, “You don’ t know who the real Joker is; I am the real Joker.” When Pitney Bowes heard this alleged threat, they called authorities.
Even if Prescott had no intention of actually doing anything, his behavior and possessions indicated otherwise. Early reports indicated that he had 13 guns registered in his name, a number which dwarfed by the actual, terrifying arsenal that police seized, which included over 20 weapons, as well as 40 steel boxes containing 8 different kinds of ammunition. Prescott was also picked up by police while wearing a shirt that read, “Guns don’t kill people. I do.”
Prescott has not been charged with anything, having not committed any crimes yet, but is being evaluated at a mental health facility in the DC area.

I have some liberal co-workers that know I have a nice collection of firearms, and I would not put it past one of them to “say” I made a threat even though I would never do such a thing.
Don’t be so quick to throw this guy under the bus. He may be dumb and he may have been beat with the ugly stick, but not necessarily guilty of making threats. Which could be the reason he hasn’t been charged.

I simply do not go into the areas where the gang killings are. And no one is going to break into my home, since I live in a high rise condo and they would have to go through 4 doors and a doorman to get to me.
If you are feeling so insecure that you need 13 guns to feel safe, I suggest that you either move somewhere else that is safer, or get to the real cause of your fear via a mental health evaluation. Some people may have a legitimate need for a gun-mass gun ownership is not required, and since we can’t predict which of you will be the next one to snap and kill a dozen people, we are collectively better off if none of you have weapons to begin with.
I do draw my ideas from how guns are regulated elsewhere in the civilized world. We are no different than any other developed country, and our gun laws should be the same. I don’t care how we get there, but a massive tax on ammo is a good start. The rest can be done via executive order and well crafted laws that conform to Supreme Court decisions that allow reasonable restrictions on weapons.

Most people don’t own 13 guns to feel safe. Most people own 13 guns for the same reason woman buy 50 pairs of shoes. Let’s see. Limited editions, Collector’s edition, High end materials, Target shooting, skeet, trap, duck hunting, deer hunting, moose hunting, geese hunting, alligator hunting, self defense, property defense, ETC. There are many reason as why to own more than one type of gun. You can hunt deer with a buck shot, bird shot, or 30 caliber round. They don’t all feet into one gun. Your ignorance, arrogance, and blatant disregard for common sense is laughable. Maybe you need a mental evaluation, or better yet, an education (not taught by liberals).

“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.” – G. Washington
“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” – Jefferson
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive.” – N. Webster
“One of the ordinary modes, by which tyrants accomplish their purposes without resistance, is, by disarming the people, and making it an offense to keep arms.” – Joseph Story

Posted on July 28, 2012 at 12:47amCriminal threatening may in fact be a crime in some cases or jurisdictions. If he/she has the equipment to carry the threat out, that might make it even more problematic for the person who is doing the threatening… if it’s to be pursued by the courts.

Incorrect. “Terrorist Threats” (or some other state-adopted term) is the common charge against someone who threatens to kill someone.
Whatever happened to just lighting a bag of dog poop on someone’s front step???
