A British man is being held without bail on charges of stockpiling weapons and building homemade explosive devices at his Trinity County home in anticipation of Armageddon.
Mark Sherman, 26, also is charged with living in the U.S. illegally. He has been living for more than two years with a woman and her mother in their mobile home in Weaverville, a mountain community 45 miles west of Redding in far northern California.
He and the woman, Crystal Hodges, had carried on an Internet correspondence for about a year before she invited him to California. He arrived from the United Kingdom in April 2004 and stayed on even after his visitor’s visa expired that July.

Before Sherman’s arrest on Wednesday, Hodges told authorities he was obsessed with apocalyptic biblical prophecies and believed the end of the world was near, said Steven Carman, a senior special agent of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Sherman also threatened to kill Hodges and her mother if they tried to turn him into immigration authorities or the police, Carman said in an affidavit attached to the criminal complaint against Sherman.
Hodges said Sherman stored eight firearms and a cache of ammunition in the mobile home, and that he told her he was making pipe bombs to use against police or attackers, according to the affidavit. "
Just great. What do you think?

Dar, clearly this illegal alien was a religious fanatic. England does not have easy access to guns there, as we do in America. He could not carry out such a threat of violence there as easily, and is an immoral hag. We need to deport all illegal aliens and those that violate the Visa laws. Good article.

Deport him, he's here illegally. Has for the eight guns that's no big deal, if he had been a citizen. But but a pipe bomb in the hands of a religious fanatic and they will use them.
I feel that the INS should have tracked him down after his visa expired

As everyone else has stated, we have enough of our own crazies to deal with, we don't need anyone else. Deport him asap(or let him serve jail time then deport) , let the UK deal with the loon.
