Macias, 42 the founder of the group ‘Vets for Trump‘ was one of two armed men arrested outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center where ballot counting was under way after authorities received a tip that a man, his mother and another person were driving to the Philadelphia region in a Hummer to “straighten things out.”

They were charged with carrying a concealed firearm without a license, a third-degree felony and carrying a firearm in public streets or public property. Bail was set at $750,000.
District attorney Larry Krasner, argued against Macias’ bail. In a letter to the court he wrote that the incident was a “mass shooting that was narrowly averted”.
The court will hear a similar motion from Macias’ accomplice, 68-year-old Antonio LaMotta on Friday.
