Indiana man planning attack on LGBT festival was fleeing arrest for child molestation

James Wesley Howell was already under investigation for allegedly molesting a 12-year-old girl when he was arrested for allegedly planning to do “harm” to the Los Angeles LGBT Pride festival, the Indianapolis Star reported.

“He understood that this child molesting investigation was ongoing and he was in imminent danger of being arrested,” said Clark County Prosecutor Jeremy Mull.

The girl’s mother alerted authorities about the alleged molestation on June 2, three days after the alleged encounter between her daughter and the 20-year-old suspect inside his car at a park, and shortly before his last reported sighting in the state.

“They crawled in the back seat and did things they should not have been doing,” the mother reportedly said in a police interview.

Howell was charged with one count of child molestation on Wednesday, a day after he was charged in California with unlawful possession of an assault weapon and explosives.

1. I haven't read that his intentions were known. OK, odd to be fleeing prosecution for child

molestation with a carload of guns, ammo, explosives, but has it been determined that the parade was his target or was it just a place he was going? I hope this question makes sense. Thank you.

2. It makes sense to me.

IMO only, I believe he knew he was done for. He figured he would go out with a bang and take out as many others that he didn't like as he could.

3. I don't understand people sometimes.

5. I'm guessing you're not familiar with IMO abbreviation. That's ok.

It means, 'In My Opinion'. Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.
