    A heavily armed man confessing to domestic problems matches the profile of most recent mass killers. But otherwise, don't worry abt the AR-15 in the top floor hotel room.https://twitter.com/ImJessicaWilley/status/947561517150502914 …

    Breaking: Russell Ziemba, 49, is the man arrested at downtown #Hyatt with weapons. He told police he was there to celebrate #NYE, brought weapons in so they wouldn’t get stolen. @houstonpolice believe he had no intent to use them. #ABC13 pic.twitter.com/0nfWCdBeid

        Just so long as he doesn't speak Arabic we're all good, I guess. No other alarm bells.

        Who doesn't carry an arsenal everywhere just to make sure said arsenal doesn't get stolen? Locking them up in one's own home is clearly out of the question.

        I dont think I would leave a stash of guns in a downtown Houston parking garage either. Especially with a gun show a few blocks away. Target for crime victim. But a dumb decision to get hammered and dra attention
