​

Authorities in Nevada may have just aborted another mass shooting with the arrest of an 18-year-old, self-professed militia leader who authorities say planned to “conduct mass killings” and “bragged about plans to shoot people on the Las Vegas strip.”


Steven Matthew Fernandes, who claimed to be a member of the Southern Nevada Militia, was arrested by FBI agents after three separate informants provided information about the teenager building and exploding bombs, amassing “an arsenal of weapons” and boasting of his killing prowess.


At the recommendation of federal prosecutors, he was ordered detained as a flight risk...


Additional charges may be forthcoming, based on admissions the suspect made after he was arrested outside a Radio Shack store in Las Vegas where he worked.


Fernandes “made graphic and violent comments,” some of which were recorded, “regarding sexually assaulting women, killing babies, killing mass amount of Jewish people like Hitler and being voted the ‘most likely to show up to school and just start killing people.’”



FBI agents learned about Fernandes’ activities last January, when an informant turned over an e-mail, the document says. In it, Fernandes “described himself as the commanding officer (CO) of the 327th Nevada Militia, and referred to himself as First Sergeant Fernandes.”



Fernandes claimed he was a “Scout Sniper” for the militia unit and that he trained for long- and close-range shooting.



In the e-mail, the document says, Fernandes said the “327th Nevada Militia is currently comprised of six or seven members, with four or five of these members physically attending training.”


Fernandes claimed that he and his fellow militia members “conduct explosive disposal training in order to be ‘ready to go to war’ with the government...

That's most of 'em do, isn't it?




His militia unit of “killers” was preparing for a “total social collapse” and planned to learn the underground tunnel system in Las Vegas, because “the surface might not be safe.”



In February, the court document further discloses, a second informant provided the FBI additional information about Fernandes, who “claims that he can walk into a restaurant filled with people and ‘kill anybody without a round count.’”



One of the FBI’s three informants in the case said Fernandes boasted that “he could fuck up this town so badly” with his militia unit because its members are well-trained and have “tons of material,” including satellite pictures.


Fernandes said it was his goal to have 1,000 members in the Southern Nevada Militia before joining the U.S. Marine Corps this fall – something that didn’t happen.
