‘Doomsday Prepper’ arrested on weapons charges after deputies watch reality show

Behold, the self-proclaimed Apex Predator of his neighborhood

Sheriff’s deputies arrested a Washington state man who was shown firing two rifles on the “Doomsday Prepper” reality show.

In the November episode of the National Geographic Channel program, Tyler Smith – a convicted felon who’s barred from owning guns — describes his plans to commit armed robbery and shots firearms on his property in Buckley.

“His stated plan was not to defend himself but to use weapons he illegally possessed, to rob his neighbors at gunpoint,” said Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor in a statement.

“Did he really think that this wouldn’t attract our attention?”

Pro tip: If you plan to survive the apocalypse, probably best not to go on TV and tell all the world your plans.

So only wingut losers will survive the zombie Apocalypse? That's disturbing. Is he related to those duck kooks?
What kind of moron goes on TV and says he's going to do violent illegal crimes? This guy doesn't sound like he's all there either.
