The Boston Police Department arrested two men who posted threatening pictures and brought a number of guns to the world championships of the Pokemon card game Friday.

Screengrabs (below) show 27-year-old Jame Stumbo made a post on the “Mayhem Pokemon Crew” Facebook group. The post included a picture of a shotgun and an AR-15 resting on the rear of a white car with an NRA bumper sticker, along with the message “Kevin Norton and I are ready for worlds Boston here we come!!!”

When another member replied “good luck,” Stumbo added, “With killing the competition?” (A Huffington Post report quotes police reporting that Stumbo said his post was taken out of context.)
