A Buckley man who was featured on the National Geographic Channel survivalist TV show “Doomsday Preppers” was arrested Wednesday morning on suspicion of second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, said Pierce County Sheriff's Department spokesman Ed Troyer. Tyler Smith, 26, was arrested just before noon at his home, Troyer said. The details leading up to his arrest were not immediately available. Smith is a convicted felon, which bars him from owning guns. Smith is the leader of the survivalist group Spartan Survival. He founded the organization in 2005 to train and prepare others for various doomsday scenarios. Smith was prohibited from possessing firearms when the show was filmed. Sheriff’s deputies saw Smith loading and firing two rifles on an episode of “Doomsday Preppers” and investigated. Smith is a felon from a first-degree theft conviction and also was convicted of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes in 2009. “His stated plan was not to defend himself but to use weapons he illegally possessed, to rob his neighbors at gunpoint,” Sheriff Paul Pastor said of the show. “Did he really think that this wouldn’t attract our attention ? “I commend our detectives for calmly and professionally dealing with Mr. Smith and holding him accountable.” Read more here: http://www.kirotv.com/news/news/buckley-man-doomsday-preppers-arrested-illegal-fir/ncpws/ |

I'll wait to hear what he did to catch the felony rap before I condemn the man, but it doesn't make him any less of a dumbass.

People can set great examples. Some are examples of what to do, some of what NOT to do.

Oh great, now he will go to prison and come out a "Super Predator". Almost unstoppable predatory skills will be hard to deal with.
|
|
If he's a convicted felon, why the hell would he allow himself to be on a show like that...with firearms?
|

Isn't that the inbred that loved Obama and planned on killing his neighbors to steal their shit?

So was this guy dumb enough to go in TV and show he had guns?

The thing we learned from this is, don't go parading yourself around national TV stating you're the apex predator if you're a felon with firearms cause you're gonna have a bad time. |

I know he looks like it, but I wonder if he's actually mentally retarded. If not, he's got to be the dumbest motherfucker on the entire planet. Dumbest. Mother. Fucker.

Please direct him to the physics thread. I think we could use his help.

He's the offspring of Gunkid! It's like a 'Talladega Nights' story except that, instead of racing, it's got a doomsday prepper theme.

Wonder if he's an apex predator in his area now that his area has changed...
