About this episode

A former British soldier was sentenced for hoarding a dangerous arsenal of weapons, raising concerns about public safety.

Former British soldier, Paul Page, sentenced to six years for hoarding over six hundred weapons in his backyard shed, including rifles, grenades, landmines, and explosive chemicals. Despite claims of no extreme views, his email referenced Hitler and he had a white supremacist tattoo. The weapons cache was discovered during a search for child abuse images, but the true extent of his arsenal was revealed. Pages history of child abuse convictions and PTSD from his military days were considered, but the judge emphasized the risk posed by his weapons collection in a neighborhood filled with children. The sentence reflects the seriousness of the situation, locking down a potential threat before it could cause harm. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
