Some guy with a bunch of guns and ammo was planning to go on a rampage in Toronto yesterday, but decided not to because of a dog.

"He happens to be a pet lover, and he decided that if there was such a nice dog in the area the people were too nice and he wasn't going to carry out his plan," Det. Ashley said.

Wow, that's freaky. At least he turned himself in, unlike Briere who made the choice to follow through with his plan.

The ammunition, all 6,296 rounds of it, was gathered in tidy boxes of blue, grey and red. The guns included a .22-calibre bolt-action rifle with scope, a .30-calibre hunting rifle with scope and a pump-action 12 gauge shotgun.

Sounds like something out of the movie "Targets".

The man's automobile, a red two-door Subaru, was also on display. A yellow plastic dog's bowl, a quarter full with food pellets, balanced on the back seat. The upholstery was almost invisible under a mish-mash of food wrappers, packets of medication and assorted papers. In the trunk, a collection of CDs revealed a taste for the music of Mariah Carey, the Doors, Abba and Judas Priest.

I can understand Judas Priest, but Mariah Carey, Abba and Judas Priest? This guy's seriously fucked up.
