East Bay man threatened to kill Jews and had an illegal assault weapon, police say, but he qualified for bail


Two days after Ross Farca allegedly posted on the video game platform Steam that he wanted to imitate the Poway synagogue shooter “except with a Nazi uniform on” and tally “a body count of at least 30,” Concord police arrested him at his home.

They booked him into the Martinez Detention Facility and charged him with making criminal threats, as well as manufacturing and possessing an illegal assault weapon. When police searched the 23-year-old’s home in Concord, they found an assault rifle Farca claimed to have made, 13 empty magazines, a three-foot Katana sword, camouflage clothes, pistol ammunition, a hunting knife and books about Hitler youth and Nazis.

But the day after his arrest in June, Farca was released upon posting a $12,500 deposit for his $125,000 bail. He remains out of custody at least until his next court appearance in September under the single condition that he can be searched by police at any time.

His release has shaken the local Jewish community, whose members have been reeling since the Poway synagogue attack in San Diego in April.

I don't know whether the laws are so poorly written or just too vague so that law enforcement's hands are tied....or if the percentage of law enforcement that has supremacist tendencies is responsible for the ineffecency to keep the public safe!

You know, when the shit hit the fan in Germany, it began as basically a Militia Movement, once poeple were fighting back (Antifa?) and/or it got really squirrely all hitler had to do was unleash Law Enforcement to work WITH the Militia...and that was all she wrote...

The first to be rounded up were "resisters"

What is the actual percentage of our population that is heavily armed and ready to start civil war? I think it is higher than we think, because while some are "out & proud" (forgive the expression) there's a whole section of this movement that relies on being stealthy and pretendint to blend in so the can access better positions to fuck things up when they all get the "signal"
