Just another day in Utah! Shopper wears his assault rifle to J.C. Penney to protect against 'criminals, cartels, drug lords, and evil men'

By DAILY MAIL REPORTERS

Hours after President Barack Obama called on Congress to ban assault weapons, one man's protest raised some eyebrows at a Utah store.

An Ogden woman snapped a few photos of a man standing inside a J.C. Penney on Wednesday with a big gun slung over his shoulder.

Cindy Yorgason said that even for a firearm-friendly state like Utah, it was out of the ordinary.

Peaceful demonstration: Joseph Kelley told reporters he wanted to demonstrate that the weapons aren't dangerous when handled by law-abiding citizens

'I've seen someone carrying on their hip or leg, but I have never seen anyone openly carrying an assault rifle,' she said.

Yorgason took two photos of the man and posted them on Facebook, where they received hundreds of comments and have since been shared more than a thousand times.

She said she's 'incredibly amazed' at the attention the images received.

She wasn't alarmed when she spotted him with the weapon but Yorgason thinks the man took it too far while trying to make a statement.

'I just think it's inappropriate,' she said.

The man, identified as Joseph Kelley, 22, told The Salt Lake Tribune he wanted to demonstrate that the weapons aren't dangerous when handled by law-abiding citizens.

Kelley said he's a former member of the military and alerted police in advance that he would be carrying the weapon, which he identified as an unloaded AR-15.

Protector: Kelley carries his guns to protect children and other evil men from a variety of 'evil men' like 'cartels, drug lords, and criminals.'

Kelley was also carrying a Glock 19c on his hip.

He said he received positive reactions from people who spotted him.

'I felt no negative vibes from anyone,' Kelley told the Tribune. 'I think it went rather surprisingly well.'

He said he carries guns to protect children and others from 'criminals, cartels, drug lords' and other 'evil men.'

Attempts by The Associated Press to reach Kelley were unsuccessful.

Local law enforcement authorities said they didn't receive any calls related to the incident or any notice from Kelley, Riverdale City Police Lieutenant James Ebert said.

But if the gun is unloaded, 'then you're well within your rights to carry a firearm,' Ebert said.

L. Ron Hubbard's Great-grandson slams Scientology as 'dangerous cult'

• Calls Scientology 'absolute poison'
• Hunted down, investigated and had phone tapped by church
• Claims founder L. Ron Hubbard spent his final days unhinged, lost and surrounded by 'dark security forces'

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

PUBLISHED: 23:41 EST, 18 January 2013\

Jamie DeWolf, the great-grandson of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, has come out with new explosive claims against the church and its controversial founder.

And it's not pretty.

'My family sees Scientology as absolute poison,' says Jamie DeWolf. 'It’s a dangerous cult.'

DeWolf’s great-grandfather, L. Ron Hubbard, created Scientology, and his grandfather, L. Ron Hubbard Jr., was a high-ranking member for most of his life.

'But he became disgusted about what he was seeing behind the curtain, so he left,' DeWolf tells the New York Post. 'For the rest of his life, he was hunted. And he couldn’t even have a relationship with his father.'

DeWolf says the Scientology founder 'became more and more unhinged in his last days. He was lost in his own little wonderland, surrounded by this armada, this dark security force. He was totally lost.'

When DeWolf was 8, he found a picture of his great-grandfather in a book about cults.

'Then I started to ask questions,' he said. 'Then I started to learn about this darker legacy.'

He claims that the church is dangerous cult.

 

Mr DeWolf said that he never met his great-grandfather and had never been a member of the church 

DeWolf, who was raised Baptist Christian, was warned about publicly admitting his connection to the group.

'My uncle said it was like poking a sleeping dog,' DeWolf said. 'The Scientologists didn’t know who I was or where I was, so why should I take the risk? My family was very wary.'

When he finally did come forward to share his story, DeWolf claims the Scientologists hunted him down.

'I had private investigators following me,' he said. 'It’s possible my phone line had been tapped. They fight nasty. Part of it actually is a certain malicious glee in going after their targets.'

He said it was definitely the cause for the split between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

'The more [Katie] saw behind the curtain,” he’s said, “the more horrified that she probably was.'

Mr DeWolf is grandson of Ron DeWolf, L. Ron Hubbard's eldest son, pictured left holding Jamie's mother.

DeWolf said he has met people over the years that have shared similar stories with him.

'I’ve met people who’ve had 20 years of their lives utterly destroyed by this cult,' he said. 'They have relatives they can’t speak to any more, lost their kids, lost their house. It’s become very serious to me.

For me to even speak out on my own genetic legacy and to be aware that I could absolutely threatened and hunted for that, that really emboldened me. I’m not gonna die with these secrets and they should be exposed.

Cops: Dad Gives Son Cocaine, Tells Him It's Candy

"NEWARK, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- A young New Jersey boy unknowingly shared cocaine with friends at a daycare center because his father allegedly told him it was candy.


Sonia Rincon reports

But only one child ingested the drug and wasn't injured.

Newark police say 25-year-old Shaheed Wright of East Orange apparently put several baggies of cocaine inside his 4-year-old son's jacket after a near brush with police. The boy later shared the drugs with three other 4-year-olds at the center on Friday.

A teacher saw a girl had a small baggie in her mouth, then called authorities after seeing a white powdery substance inside.

The children were taken to a hospital, where Wright's son told police about "the candy." They searched the child's pockets and found more baggies containing cocaine.

Wright was charged with four counts of child endangerment and drug offenses."

This is what happened outside a meeting the President was having with the Canadian Prime Minister. They were protesting the deaths of seals in Canada. MESS

"A former Montgomery County English teacher was sentenced to six months in jail Thursday for distributing cocaine to a student, according to attorneys in the case.

During her sentencing hearing, Theresa Duarte apologized to the Thomas S. Wootton High School community for the embarrassment caused by the crime, said her attorney, William Brennan.

Duarte, once dubbed "the coolest woman alive" by students who put together a Wootton yearbook, had pleaded guilty to distribution. Brennan said she provided cocaine to a student at her home. Duarte is due to report to jail Monday, and also faces three years of supervised probation, said Emily White, a spokeswoman for the Montgomery County state's attorney's office. "
