WASHINGTON (Map, News) - A D.C. Superior Court judge refused on Friday to offer bail to the man police say brought a rifle and two knives to a counter protest of an immigration rally on May 1.

Tyler Froatz II, an Eagle scout and District resident for the past 18 months, will be held in police custody until a May 17 court date after Judge John Hess expressed concern over whether Froatz posed a threat to the area.

Police say that on Tuesday, Froatz, was counter protesting at an immigration rally in Meridian Hill Park when he became embroiled in a fight with immigration rally organizer. According to police, Froatz bent the organizer's left arm and scratched her hand, before leaving the area to don dark camouflage clothing. Police arrived and arrested Froatz and found a host of weapons on him including a hammer, taser, and a loaded flare gun. In addition, Detective Robert Freeman of the U.S. Park Police testified that Froatz was carrying two knives including a "12 inch dagger-style knife."

A search of Froatz's nearby Jeep recovered a loaded M-1 rifle and ammunition. A map of a local embassy and a detailed, hand-drawn sketch of the park with lines pointing towards the center of the protest was found in the front seat of the Jeep, Freeman said. snip

Kristinn Taylor, a friend of Froatz who attended the hearing, expressed shock that the "nonthreatening," and chatty 24-year-old could hurt anyone.

"Like a lot of people who feel strongly about the immigration issue, he was out protesting," Taylor said, who added Froatz was not working for Free Republic during his protest.

"He didn't say anything about killing illegals or nothing like that."

Man Due In Court After Apartment Raid

<snip>News4's Jackie Bensen reported that possibly as many as 20 guns as well as ammunition, swords, bows, arrows and machetes were seized from Froatz's apartment in the 5300 block of Eighth Street. Authorities said they also recovered a replica grenade and what appeared to be a grenade launcher, which does not work.

Authorities said they also recovered literature that may have been anarchist in nature.

An immigration supporter said he wasn't surprised by the discovery, especially after seeing a flier that witnesses said Froatz handed out at the rally.

The flier apparently depicted graphic pictures of pregnant women being shot by soldiers.

Looks like Kristinn and his little friend might be in some trouble, huh? Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

7. Kristinn is also a self-admitted "Good friend" of Jeff Gannon

All the pieces seem to be falling nicely in to place.

Be careful out there everyone.

4. Another republicon freeper chickenhawk?

Why ain't this kid in the Army? Because he's a republicon freeper chickenhawk, like so many of them, and he'd rather shoot his mouth off and act tough than to actually serve his country. Typical republicon. Typical freeper.

5. These Freepers are as crazy

as Bush.

8. Well, thanks, Mr. Taylor, you moron, that makes it all better: "He didn't say anything about

killing illegals or nothing like that." :eyes:

Healthy, male, big mouth--why don't you enlist, Kristinn--and take your buddy Tyler with you...

Yes, newer DUers--Kristinn is a big, burly, patriot who WON'T serve his country...

10. all those "instruments" probably have his DNA all over them ...

saliva ... or worse ... and quite possibly, some remnants of insertion ...

Sorry for the visual ...

I'm sure he's going to use the Rush Limbaugh/RW radio "comedy" defense ... "Hey, it was a joke!!!"

[suffragette]

11. Sounds like his apartment was the Free Republic Armory

Hmmm- wonder if RNC will help fund his defense?

And that flier? What a sick puppy.

12. "An Eagle Scout"?

Do we have to reprint his lawyer's talking points verbatim?

Jesus. Twenty-four is a little old for Scouting, isn't it?
