| Haul of weapons man brought into Atlanta supermarket - before sharp-eyed employee called 911 after hearing someone loading weapons in the store bathroom |
| 2021-03-26 |
[Daily Mail]
A worker at an Atlanta grocery store heard 'clicking sounds,' and it sounded to him like someone was loading weapons inside a restroom stall, he told police. Then he saw an an 'AR-15-style rifle' leaning against the wall. The sharp-eyed Instacart worker is getting credit for helping officers to stop the man wearing body armor and carrying a half-dozen guns from roaming through the Publix grocery store Wednesday, police said. The new details are included in police incident reports released Thursday by Atlanta police. The man's intentions are not explained in the reports. The worker, Charles Russell, 'heard clicking sounds from the bathroom stall,' a police report states. 'It sounded to him like someone was loading firearms.' Russell then alerted a manager at the store, urging him to call 911. Two Atlanta police officers arrived. One grabbed a rifle from his patrol car, put on a ballistic helmet and went into the store, where he apparently surprised the armed man as he came around the corner from the restroom. 'I immediately ordered the accused to put his hands up and don't move to which he complied,' the officer wrote in his report. 'The accused appeared to be surprised when he saw us that close to him.' Officers then arrested Rico Marley, 22, without a shot being fired. The pistols he had were loaded with rounds in chambers, and a revolver was also fully loaded, the officer wrote. He then looked inside Marley's bag and found a loaded AR-15-style rifle and a loaded shotgun, said the officer, who noted that the suspect was wearing body armor. |

| #18 According to MSN, in 2019, Publix joined a growing list of retailers that asked customers not to carry weapons inside their stores even if it was legally permitted in the state. |

| #17 There does seem to be an obsession about "intent". |

| #15 Why are all these NUT Jobs just now doing this now under a LIBERAL / Socialist Democrat admin. The Dims are soft on Felons. Especially as hard as the Dims work at allowing felons voting rights. |

| #11 From a quick search of the archives: Orisha Land in Austin early this month. BLM-linked, Marxist, led by Grandmaster Jay and his Not Fuckin’ Around Coalition (NFAC). |

| #10 It began going downhill for Rico when some reported an Aim-Point zeroing in on the bananas. |

| #9 Again I will ask the question. During this NATIONWIDE Ammo Shortage and the likely cost of these weapon being close to $4,500. Where is a 22 y/o: A. Finding the ammo/guns to buy. B. Getting the $$$$ to do it? Moving on. Given the upper-Middle class demographics of PUBLIX and this stores Atlantic Station location. It is kinda clear what he was likely gunning for. Whatever the case and as far fetched as it sounds... Why are all these NUT Jobs just now doing this now under a LIBERAL / Socialist Democrat admin. It would seem these nuts would have come out of the wood work during Trump not Biden ... Unless they are trying to Help move along a rewrite of the 2nd. |

| #8 I thought that as well but you normally don't load up your arsenal in the grocery bathroom. At least it deserves some questioning... |

| #7 Whoops! That’s Mr. Rico Marley. The ski mask he had with him is a bit odd, though. The question will turn on whether he indeed intended to commit a felony, as charged, or whether he was being stupid about his open carry rights. And whether he is a member of that Black separatist group setting up a BLM-linked “homeland” in downtown Austin, if I recall correctly. They’re keen on open carry, too — they’d joined the effort to protect Stone Mountain, as I recall, |

| #6 If open carry is legal in Georgia, what laws had he broken when arrested? |

| #5 From Heavy, something that might explain Mr. Rico’s surprise at being accosted by the police: WSB-TV added that Marley had a “weapons carry license” with him, as well. Open carry is legal in Georgia, according to the state’s legal code. |
