Hey guys i just finished seeing this in the news. Kinda freeked me out being that he lives in the general vacinity of my mother. This guy gives us all a bad name. Not to mention that He's ONLY 20YRS OLD.!!!!! How in the BLEEP did he buy the hand guns and his parents not question him.

WSVN-TV - Local News - Man with weapon cache charged with threatening Virginia Tech style massacre

MIAMI (AP) -- A 20-year-old with a weapons cache that included four AK-47s was arrested after threatening to re-enact a Virginia-Tech style massacre over the Internet, authorities said Thursday.
Oregon authorities learned of a March 25 Internet message allegedly posted by Calin Chi Wong in which he threatened to re-enact the Virginia Tech killings. Two days later, Homestead Police searched the home Wong shares with his parents and found the weapons in stacked on shelves in plain view, Det. Antonio Aquino said.

Wong had 13 firearms in all, more than 5,000 rounds of ammunition, some that could pierce armor, and 100 rounds in a heating clip with bullets meant to take down aircraft or military machines. He'd hidden two AK-47s in his parents closet and his parents said the guns did not belong to them, Aquino said.

Wong was charged with making written threats to kill or do bodily injury via the computer and bonded out for $7,500. Additional charges are pending, he said. A message left by The Associated Press at a phone number listed for Wong was not immediately returned Thursday evening. The phone at his employer, China King, rang unanswered. It was not known if he had a lawyer.

Homestead Police first noticed Wong when he went to the department in February to complain he had been ripped off for $800 over the Internet after he ordered a gun online using his father's Paypal account.
He told authorities he'd called the FBI, ATF and other agencies about the issue and had finally reached a boiling point when he posted the message saying he would re-enact the Virginia Tech massacre, Aquino said.

"After speaking to him and seeing his frustration, I believe that he had the potential to carry out some kind of threat," Aquino said.
Wong felt isolated and cut off, authorities said. He'd been buying and selling guns for about two years and now word was getting around about Wong's age. Dealers stopped selling to him and he was being banned from certain gun-sale web sites.

Wong told police making the threat made him feel good because after "he had thousands of people on the Internet paying attention to him," Aquino said.
Wong told police he was just upset and frustrated and never actually planned a killing spree.
But authorities also found a school book bag lined with bullet proof vests and two handguns inside Wong's home.

Wong is not enrolled in college. He graduated from an Oregon high school and attended college for a year before moving in with his parents in Florida, authorities said.
Wong said the weapons were an investment.

"He says it's a lucrative business," Aquino said. "He said if Hillary Clinton wins she'll put a ban on assault rifles and these assault rifles will be worth more in value."

As always comments are welcomed.

Jeez, seems like there's always something bad going on down in Florida. I tell my buddy down there he should look into getting a firearm himself if only for home defense. :T

Wow that is crazy. I am glad that they actually caught the scumbag. People like this need to be hanged.

This is also very scary. Now that the see how effective this is who is to say that someone can't get pissed off and forge that stuff and then call the police and say that YOU were threatning to do something like that?

At what point do you raid the house or say it's just a bad day.

What a goofball.

Good for the cops!

coldsolderjoint · 04-04-2008, 06:52 AM

What is a heating clip?

He's right about the guns being an investment if Hillary wins though

As always.. the story is sensationalized by the media.. wow.. 13 guns.. There's probably millions of legal gun owner's who have more then 13 guns... and 5k rounds.. wow.. theres probably millions of people who have more then that sitting at home... its not like he could ever carry that much on his person without someone noticing a big hiker style backpack first..
