CNN: Armed Man Who Caused Panic At Walmart Store Says Was A “Social Experiment” by KingGBsky(m): 9:11am On Aug 10, 2019
(CNN) — Dmitriy Andreychenko walked into a Walmart in Missouri equipped with body armor, a handgun and a rifle less than a week after a gunman killed 22 people in a Walmart in Texas. He says it was a "social experiment" -- and not intended to cause panic.
"I wanted to know if that Walmart honored the 2nd amendment," he told Springfield police, according to a probable cause statement.
Andreychenko, 20, recorded himself as he pushed a cart into the store in Springfield, saying he intended to buy grocery bags.

He didn't intend for any negative reaction, he said. The recording was in case anyone stopped him and asked him to leave, , according to the statement.
His wife and sister told him beforehand that the idea was not smart, especially considering the recent shootings in El Paso and Dayton, according to the document.
He told his sister it was "a social experiment on how his 2nd amendment right would be respected in a public area," according to the document.
The rifle he carried had a loaded magazine, but a round was not chambered; and the handgun was loaded with a round in the chamber, the probable cause document said.
'He's lucky to be alive'
He faces a charge of making a terrorist threat in the second degree, the police department said on Twitter. CNN was unable to determine whether he was represented by an attorney.
The consequences he faces are not a reflection of how Missouri -- an open carry state -- respects the 2nd Amendment, prosecuting attorney Dan Patterson said in a statement.

He probably wanted his fifteen minutes of fame

He should be flogged, as a social experiment
