Two brothers were arrested Thursday after police officers found bomb-making instructions, an arsenal of assault rifles, and Nazi paraphernalia in their Mount Sinai, Long Island home, The New York Times reported.

According to the Times, Edward Perkowski, 29, was arrested on weapons and drug charges after police found marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms during the search. His brother Sean, 25, who also lives in the home, was arrested on an outstanding bench warrant.

Police reportedly entered the residence on a search warrant early Thursday morning and discovered a disturbing trove of materials. These items included $42,000 in cash, six assault rifles, a handgun, a shotgun, four rifles, a stun gun, and a black binder filled with instructions on how to build a bomb.

The binder also contained a racist manifesto, CBS reported. The rifles rested near photos of Adolf Hitler, flags with swastika insignias and books about white power.

“Today’s search warrant might have prevented a deadly, violent incident, like the one we recently saw in Orlando,” Suffolk County police commissioner Timothy D. Sini said at a news conference in Yaphank, according to the Times. “We neutralized a clear public threat.”

    cops brake into a house to steal weed and mushrooms. All that other stuff is legal to own, in fact in most places you can own the weed, and they wouldn’t know to steal the mushrooms. Watch all you clintonites cheer the police state.

  4. The Long Island community knows who the terrorists are and ought to
    cooperate with law enforcement at exposing the terrorists in their
    midst. We need to surveil their Long Island communities and places of
    worship where they organize and preach this message of hate. We cannot
    defeat this existential threat until the President is willing to call this what it is: Radical
    Islandic Terrorism

  5. Ban all Germans!!! and anyone of German heritage!!!
