More shocking details emerge about a horrifying near-miss gun massacre inside Disneyland one month ago

New details emerge about last month's near-miss killing spree by a crazed gunman inside the Disneyland Resort.
Last time, we reported on what could have turned out to be one of the worst mass murder events in U.S. history by a lone crazed active shooter, armed with a gun and several ammunition clips, that was narrowly averted inside the Happiest Place on Earth little over a month ago.

After his arrest, Percy Agoncillo of San Mateo told police he
heard voices in his head to kill as many people as possible
at Disneyland to avenge his father's death, but Anaheim Police 
and Disneyland officials withheld this information from the 
D.A.'s office when they allowed Agoncillo to be bailed out on 
July 23rd on only a $20,000 bond. Will he plead, 'Not guilty by
reason of insanity in court,' to avoid years in jail for a repeat felony?
After rushing to get our last exclusive report out to the public on the alarming incident that happened on July 9, 2015 at the Disneyland Resort as quickly as we could, we decided to go back and get more detailed and accurate information from eye witnesses and our secret informants inside the resort who saw what actually happened on that fateful night in Disneyland's Esplanade main entrance plaza.

What we found out about the events that took place on that night were far worse than we had first reported in our original report.

We're going to clarify and correct the new facts we obtained of exactly what happened from the numerous testimonials we got from Disneyland main gate security officers and main entrance cast members who were there and were willing to talk to us in confidence about what really happened that night.

On that fateful and busy Thursday night of July 9th at approximately 8:55 p.m. in Disneyland's Esplanade entry plaza—only half an hour before Disneyland's fireworks show—a lone, heavy-set, middle-aged Asian man had just come out of the exits of Disney California Adventure (DCA) coming from—of all places—the Tower of Terror ride inside the Hollywood Backlot.

He would later tell police he had seen the ghosts of his dead father and grandfather inside the ride and heard voices in his head to start shooting his gun, which he had snuck inside the Disneyland theme parks, after he saw a jet plane while on the ride, disturbing his father and grandfather.


He was nervous, agitated, and suddenly stopped walking once he was out in an open area inside the Esplanade entry plaza and pulled out a large gun which he intended to use by firing into the crowds that were beginning to gather in the Esplanade to watch the 9:30 p.m. fireworks show over the Disneyland skies.


By chance, a plain-clothes Disneyland security officer on duty that night in the Esplanade named, (redacted due to requests from our sources), spotted the suspect who was acting very suspiciously and saw that the strange, heavy-set man had pulled out a large caliber weapon, which immediately startled (redacted due to requests from our sources)

Inside the security perimeter of the Esplanade entry plaza of Disneyland and DCA.
(Previous photo redacted due to requests from our sources.)
(redacted due to requests from our sources) in a panic quickly radioed to Security Central Communications, yelling that there was an armed active shooter inside the Esplanade.

Then, Anaheim Police Officers with guns drawn quickly confronted the suspect to prevent him from discharging his weapon into the crowds that had gathered inside the busy entry plaza, common to both Disneyland and DCA.

Other security officers and the Anaheim Police Department (APD), responding to (redacted due to requests from our sources)'s radio call, then quickly descended on the scene to help surround the armed suspect.

When the dust all settled, Anaheim Police arrested a 44-year-old Filipino man from San Mateo County named Percival Aguilar Agoncillo, Jr. who had previously been convicted on a felony weapons and drug possession charge in San Mateo County in Northern California just a few years ago.


At the time of his arrest, Anaheim Police found on him a fully-loaded gun and several loaded ammunition clips ready to reload his gun when it had emptied from what would have been a deadly shooting spree.

How good is Disney security? So good that they let an
entire guerrilla film crew shoot an entire movie inside
Disneyland and Disney World for 6 weeks without anyone 
noticing until the movie premiered at the Sundance Film
Festival. Yet many Disney employees still do not know of
the film's existence.
Agoncillo later told APD detectives, while he was detained under interrogation, that he was hearing voices in his head which were telling him to avenge his dead father and dead grandfather by shooting as many people as he could inside the Disneyland Resort.

He had seen their ghostly apparitions on the Tower of Terror ride and claimed a passing jet plane was disturbing them while he was talking to his dead relatives' ghosts on the ride, so he had to shoot down the plane.

He then wanted to go shoot his way into a crowd inside Disneyland who gathered to view the 9:30 p.m. fireworks show, so he made his way to the exits to the Esplanade.

Clearly, Agoncillo has a history of mental illness—likely paranoid schizophrenia—that clouded his judgment and made him an imminent danger to the public due to constant homicidal ideations from his hallucinations and impulseness.

"What would have happened that night," said one of our informants, "could have been a horrible blood bath. Our management often mentions that something like this could happen at Disneyland in theory, but they never prepared us on what to do for this eventuality if the situation actually happened like it did that Thursday night."

If anything, there was no doubt that the nearly catastrophic incident proved that there were a number of appalling gaffes in Disneyland's existing security procedures which led up to the near-miss killing spree inside the Happiest Place on Earth.

How bad could Disneyland security's gaffes be, you ask?


Bad enough that for nearly six weeks back in 2010, an entire guerrilla film crew with professional filming equipments, filming the principal photography of the independent movie Escape from Tomorrow, had been going in and out of the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim and Disney World Florida without anyone from Disney security ever noticing their presence.


That incident back in 2010 literally proved that you could get away with murder inside the Disney theme parks without anyone from security ever taking notice. If an entire film crew can go unnoticed inside the Happiest Place on Earth for nearly six weeks, then how hard is it to believe that a lone gunman or well-trained terrorist sleeper cell could also do the same?

Disneyland Parks Security Operations Manager
Christopher J. Sayers of Garden Grove is said to be
Disney's point man in conspiring with Anaheim Police 
in covering-up serious security incidents inside the 
Disneyland Resort. Sayers used to be a Lieutenant in 
the Anaheim Police back in 2010 before he came to work
for Disney. Will he plead the Fifth with his buddies from
the Anaheim Police Department if there was a cover-up?
In Percival Agoncillo's case in July, he had already made it inside both theme parks past bag screeners at the security screening tents where no metal detectors or other screening devices or equipment were employed to detect any form of concealed weapons or firearms.

Bag screeners at Disneyland, who are part of Disneyland's Main Entrance line of business (and who are not trained in security), are instructed to only have guests open their bags to check for a wide array of conspicuous and often times confusing and innocuous banned items that are prohibited inside the parks.

Those items include such disparate contraband items such as knives, glass containers, alcohol, musical instruments, professional photography or video equipment, roller skates, large picnic arrangements, sports equipment, ashes of deceased persons, drugs, leaflets, pets, lawn chairs, selfie sticks, and occasionally firearms.

Anyone concealing a weapon on their persons will likely not be caught by the guest bag screeners as they are explicitly instructed by their management not to search what's on the guests themselves. Instead, screeners are only allowed to look at what guests voluntarily show them inside of bags, and the screeners are not even allowed to touch the guests' personal items or place their hands inside the guests' bags and personal items at any time.


Disneyland is also reluctant to use any metal detection or other security scanning equipment commonly used in airports and government buildings because they do not want to alarm guests of the realities of the world we live in today—one with many inherent dangers—because they are afraid that these kinds of reminders will scare away paying customers from attending their theme parks.


Serious incidents, like what happened on July 9th, will likely be more commonplace inside Disney's theme parks in the near future so long as Disney places its interest in its profits above the safety and well-being of its guests and employees. At this point, it is a question of when and not if such another serious security incident will happen again.

Sayers' old buddies back in the Anaheim Police Department are 
implicated in the cover-up that let Percy Agoncillo out on only 
$20,000 bond on July 23. Above, APD Capt. Mike Aquino, 
Detective Randy Sany (who wrote the CAN bulletin on Percy
Agoncillo), and Deputy Chief Craig Hunter. Not shown Sgt. 
Dennis Briggs and Lt. Richard LaRochelle. Pleading the Fifth
by a law enforcement officer could result in termination.
The next time Disneyland might not be so lucky as they were on July 9th. And it might be most shocking to learn that the exact same person who nearly shot up Disneyland on July 9th may have been given a second chance by police to finish what he intended on starting back in July.

From our investigation, we now have the answer to the question how a dangerously homicidal and criminally insane individual got his gun and loads of ammunition past Disneyland security and into the hallowed family-friendly theme parks that Walter Elias Disney built.

And of course we should mention that Disneyland caught all this on its security video surveillance system inside the entry plaza.

But in all honesty, none of what we told you so far is the most insane part of our story. The most insane part of the story is that both Disneyland and Anaheim Police knew of Agoncillo's motives, but deliberately withheld all this crucial information from the D.A.'s office, so that this terrifying near-miss incident wouldn't be picked up by the news in public governmental records from the criminal court system.

Our sources inside Disneyland have told us that Disneyland's Parks Security Operations Manager, Christopher J. Sayers, who used to be a Lieutenant in the Anaheim Police Department back in 2010 before he retired to take over security operations at Disneyland's theme parks, is Disneyland's key point man in coordinating these kinds of cover-ups with APD.


Anaheim Police's current commanding officers at the Disneyland substation, Sgt. Dennis Briggs and his superior Lt. Richard LaRochelle, used to work under Sayers in the Anaheim Police Department, so this is the connection between Disneyland security and APD that allows Disneyland to manipulate the police for its own self-serving interests.


Sayers, LaRochelle, and Briggs are the key officials inside both organizations responsible for routinely covering-up any controversial or embarrassing incidents in the resort that Disneyland and APD don't want the public to know. In this case, Disneyland's meddling and interference may have escalated to the point of obstructing justice and breaking the law, putting the public's safety in danger just to save face for the Mouse.

Former APD Lt. Chris Sayers (right) with disgraced former APD Chief John Welter
back in 2010 before the 2012 Manuel Angel Diaz shootings and riots in Anaheim.
Welter's laughable campaign against Mayor Tom Tait is thought to be what got 
Tait re-elected as Anaheim's mayor by a landslide in the last city elections in 
November of 2014. (See campaign video below.)
Disneyland worries a great deal about this kind of bad publicity because that would ultimately affect their profits.

And so, it's perfectly fine if any information that concerns the safety of park patrons is intentionally left out of or withheld from the public records just so that it won't negatively impact park attendance—even if that means breaking the law and putting the public's safety at direct risk.

And apparently, that's exactly what happened when they began covering-up the near-miss gun massacre in July with the Anaheim Police Department's help.

When the Deputy D.A. in charge of indicting Agoncillo, Jeff Winter, met with APD detectives, he was deliberately misled by the Anaheim Police that a previously convicted felon, Percy Agoncillo, was simply caught, without incident, by chance by one of their officers on a routine stop on a city street in the City of Anaheim.


Winters was simply told Agoncillo was caught carrying a concealed weapon with several ammunition clips on him, and that later on, APD found out he had a previous felony conviction.

Don't blame Orange County D.A. Tony Rackauckas for Agoncillo's
shocking release from jail. Nothing points to a cover-up from his
department...so far.
They arrested Agoncillo on a simple charge of a convicted felon illegally possessing a firearm and ammunition.

They didn't mention to the D.A. that this suspect had heard voices in his head to kill as many people as he could inside Disneyland with his firearms.

The D.A.'s office was also never told that Agoncillo—when he heard these voices in his head telling him to kill as many people as he could—was about to commit the unthinkable right in the heart of the busy Disneyland Resort.

That's because Disneyland officials and APD conspired to keep those details about Mr. Agoncillo hidden from even the criminal court system.

Thus, the alarm bells from the D.A.'s office were not sounded, and the courts allowed Agoncillo to be bailed out of county jail 14 days later on just a paltry $20,000 bond. It was clear from what happened at Disneyland that Agoncillo should have never been bailed out of protective custody at all. He was too much of an imminent danger to the public to be walking around freely.


So the suspect was set free on bond from the Orange County jail in Santa Ana on July 23rd, and today he roams free while his next court date is set sometime later this month. Whether he will ever show up for that court date is left up to speculation as he knows he will face a number of years behind bars for a repeat felony.


When APD and Disneyland officials found out that Agoncillo was bailed out of prison, they were shocked, but they shouldn't have been. After all, these were the very officials who reckless and irresponsibly withheld crucial information from the D.A.'s office that misled the courts to believe that Agoncillo was not that much of a danger to the public.


Both the APD and Disneyland have since put out an internal and city-wide All Points Bulletin (APB) to "Be On the Lookout" (BOL) for Agoncillo should he choose to return anywhere near the City of Anaheim, and Disneyland security is on its highest threat alert since 9/11 on the lookout for just one man who they gave a second chance to finish what he intended to start on the Disneyland Resort back in July.

It's about time Disneyland faces the realities of the real world by starting to use
metal detectors and scanning equipment at all their entrances and entryways. Will
Disney abide by its motto: 'Safety first,' or is its motto really, 'Profits first?'
But it seems the damage is already done as Agoncillo is roaming freely at large to do whatever the voices in his head tell him to do.

Many main gate security officers have asked their management for bulletproof vests, but that hardly seems like that would help given that they are all unarmed.

What they need is better screening procedures, including metal detectors and scanning equipment, to detect concealed weapons before guests even have a chance to get into the parks, and they need to come clean about serious incidents like this when it comes to reporting it to D.A.'s office.

Since we found out about Aconcillo's actions inside of Disneyland, we feel it is now our responsibility and moral duty—unlike Disney and APD—to warn the public about this dangerous and homicidal maniac who has now been irresponsibly and recklessly set free on bail, all thanks to the knuckleheads at Disneyland and the Anaheim Police Department.

Agoncillo's last known address is in the South San Francisco-area near San Mateo County. He drives a white 2011 Lexus with the license plate of 6VAZ737. He stands 5 foot, 6-7 inches tall. A picture of Agoncillo is included above and in the previous article. If you see him, do not approach or engage the suspect in any manner. He may be armed and is most certainly dangerous. Just call the police and refer them to the information given on this website.


You can all thank Disneyland and APD for letting a dangerous man loose from protective custody, giving him a second chance to finished what he intended on doing at Disneyland. That's the kind of magic that they apparently protect.

  1. I saw it happen that night. My friends and I were leaving DCA to see the fireworks show at Disneyland, and there were a lot of cops with their guns out surrounding the guy pictured above who was on the floor. We had no idea he had a gun. How frightening!

  2. Such sensationalistic reporting reads more line a high school essay than a report on what happened. Metal detectors and pat downs are not the only solution to this issue. This has happened once, and that kind of reactionary thinking is how wet have giant lines at the airport (that have yet to stop guns being brought on planes). Sometimes bad things happen, but to crush the freedom of millions because what could have happened (but didn't) is almost as insane as this potential gunman.

    2. No, I think what she is saying is that you are OVER sensationalizing this story. Bad shit happens everywhere to everyone. One crazy person brought a gun into the park and Disney security took care of it immediately. DONE. But since this blog is your life, you need to find as much hype about this story as you can, so you focus on ALL of the negative. By the way, you are probably giving a lot of copycat crazies ideas of bringing guns into theme parks with this article. Good job.

    3. There's nothing over-sensationalized about this story.

      A terrorist attack just happened in Thailand, and there are too many stories for us to even county like this that the public already knows about. We're not floating any new ideas here. This kind of idea about killing sprees has been in the public's mind for decades.

      The question is: How did this guy get his gun and all that ammunition past screeners and into the parks?

    4. Excuse me, "crush the freedom of millions" you say? Didn't we get enough of the type of rhetoric around the start of the Iraq war? The person writing this is clearly thinking in the best interest of the company, and it bleeds through the ink and paper. Attacking this writer's account as sensationalism is disturbing and stinks of irresponsibility. I am a native Californian who travels for work constantly, and you know what? I DON'T THINK THERE IS ENOUGH SECURITY IN AIRPORTS. Please do not tarnish my brothers or my grand-fathers time defending this great country by misconstruing inconvenience with freedom. Shame on you, seriously.

Where do you live that you are so overly-sheltered that this article is going to cause a "copycat crazy" to go shoot people? If people are going to go crazy they are not sitting around reading articles going "Man, when the voices start talking to me again, I'm going to go to Disneyland to freak out". This is about the security in a VERY profitable public venue, and it needs to be addresses by NOT being swept under the rug. Seriously, SHAME ON YOU!

Your story would sound far more credible if you didnt use terms like "really big gun" "large caliber weapon" "several ammunition clips on him" "several loaded ammunition clips ready to reload his gun when it had emptied"

      This is one of the worst, non objective stories Ive ever read. It sounds like youre advocating everyone being strip searched.

      Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

    9. Disney Cast Members(CM) are and I Quote! "CM are not allowed or encouraged to touch a guest or there person or anything belonging to their person!" So the CM that helped put your stroller on the tram or bus could get termed for touching you and your crap. As to the bag check locations sadly that is standard for "almost" all non Police check points. Even security is not allowed to touch you and your crap. I would know I'm a former CM and Currently am a "certified" security officer and please do not bring the second amendment in to it.

      As to the comment "Really, you think that this blog post is going to give people ideas?" I sight the First amendment giving anyone the right to say what they want, weather y'all like it or not. personally, I WANT to know that this kind of thing happened and what safety measures are being taken to fix the problems... I can almost guarantee that this has happened before and will sadly happen again. Do any of us want that!?! NO.

      To answer Disney Leaks Question "How did this guy get his gun and all that ammunition past screeners and into the parks?"
      SIMPLE... he walked through the bag check! If he had no bag he would have been waved through! They are not required to ask a guest to open there trench coat. I would have asked as it would have rung my "Hinky Bell!" Although you see more trench coat type jackets than you might think at the parks, it's a societal thing.

      I could give you many more theories on this but then I would be letting my paranoid security officer out and well let's just say that with all my prior experience with "The Parks" and secondary training it could be corrosive to this particular posting.

      Thanks for the Knowledge!

    10. By the thinking of Disney Leaks, any where there has ever been any type of incident should have metal detectors. So, malls, shopping centers, movie theaters, and schools (only to name a few) should all have metal detectors. Not to mention that we'd have to fence off public places where incidents have occurred, such as parks. That sounds like an awful world to live in.

      Anonymous 11:13 and 11:24, this has nothing to do with the corporation. It has to do with how I want my life to be and the kind of world I want my children in. I absolutely do not want them to live in the world I described above. Living in fear is not really living at all.

      Sensationalism? Absolutely. Here's a few of the sensationalist tactics in this article. The giff of a gun firing over and over again (since that didn't happen in this event, it fits the very definition of sensationalism)."Fateful" night? Do you know the definition of fateful? I'm not sure how this event was far-reaching or had dire consequences. He "pulled out a large gun" which later, in the comments, you saw was in his pocket. So you were definately being overly dramatic in your description. Non-sensationalistic reporting would just stick to facts. No gun picture needed, no overly descriptive words, and no descriptions that aren't backed up with facts.

      To clarify: I'm a new Anonymous who strongly agrees with Anonymous 2:00

      At least now you are admitting it is.
      Nope. First time here, only article read, never coming back again.
      Plus, terrible editing. Do you know what a gaff is? I wasn't aware security had anything to do with fishing. And apparently this was not written recently, because "nearly six weeks back in 2010". So difficult to take seriously between the sensationalism, poor writing, and zero editing. I realize this is just a blog, but it sounded like you were trying to be kind of serious about the topic. Maybe I was wrong.
      Hm....and no comment as to all the other places that have had this kind of incident and how our lives would be if metal detectors were every where. I'm really interested in if that's how you think the world should be or if it's a blatant bias. Even with a name like Disney Leaks it seems like a stretch to require something of the Disney company you wouldn't require other places there have been actual shootings.

    14. Sorry, we didn't know the Grammar Nazis were out in full force today. We changed the typo "gaffs" to "gaffes" just for you. The 2010 incident refers to the filming of the guerrilla movie, "Escape From Tomorrow" which many Disneyland employees still don't realized happened inside the park. Another glaring GAFFE no doubt.

  3. But you admit it happened. Interesting.

    Also how do we know this only happened once? We were given a copy of all the Disneyland APBs and there were at least 20 other BOLs for persons listed as "do not approach." Strangely enough, any identifying information was erased on all those people since last month.

    Finally, it's already too late for the long lines. We noticed bag screeners take a lot more extra time to search only bags, and extra security main gate guards have been placed all around the Esplanade. Clearly, Disneyland management has implemented drastic changes since our story. The lines have already formed at the screening tents.

    Also, Metal detectors and better screening procedures will shorten the lines as we were told by our informants because less people would be willing to come in to the theme parks once they see the equipment. So it seems that they will make the theme parks less congested. Problem solved!

  8. Just a few statements/questions...

    First of all, how about you stop and ask yourself how this man with a history if mental illness even got a gun in the first place? Pretty sure Disney doesn't control that.

    Secondly, bad things have happened at Disney. Fights. Deaths. Ride safety issues. But you should really consider the facts about all of those before you generalize them and state each and every single one of those incidents are Disney's fault. Last time I checked Disney does not control anyone's actions. There are rules in each park to try to control them, and as a previous Disneyland cast member, we try and do the best that we can to make sure that nothing gets out of hand/crazy. Safety if the first key in anyone's job there. Not security. I've dealt with children who have lost their parents or vice versa, and they are found within the next 10 minutes.

    Which brings me to my third point. No cast member is allowed to touch a guest. Whatsoever. Not even if that guest has a disability and needs help on/off a ride. Why? Because of liabilities and SAFETY reasons, for both the cast member and the guest. Disney has to protect their cast members. They can't do that if they allow them to stick their hands in a random people's bag, who could be carrying a variety of things if they wanted to harm anyone. Such as any kind of powder drug like anthrax, or maybe even used needles of any kind that could transmit any fluids to them when they blindly stick their hand in a stranger's bag. Disney land security is not blind to these possibilities.

    Leads me to another point of why we have security in PLAIN clothes, like you mentioned. And why that plain clothed security QUICKLY handled the situation, like you also mentioned. There are plain clothed security alllll around the parks. Trust me on that one. A good sign as to why nothing seriously tragic has happened there.

    Disney has definitely improved there security since 2010 and just like everything else in the world, does/will need improvement. That is exactly why Disney is putting up or has put up new security gates.

    Disney does do a great job with public safety while still providing a great experience for everything. Once again not everyone can be stopped. Rules are implemented but sometimes are not followed by guests. You should pay more attention to the good things instead of the bad. He was stopped by a DISNEY security. He was arrested. It is also not Disney's responsibility to tell the police that he heard voices. You stated multiple times that he told the APD, not Disney.

    1. The thing we are blaming Disney and APD for is obstruction of justice. They caught and prevented a dangerous man from committing mass murder—great!—but they withheld crucial evidence from the D.A. and criminal court system. Thus, they are directly liable for setting this homicidal maniac free to harm others again. It seems someone from Disneyland and APD should go to jail for this huge debacle.

    2. Once again, not Disney's fault. Who did this man tell about the voices? Police or Disney? Even if he told both, he was taken into police custody. Once he's there, he's there. Security cast members work for Disneyland. Not the police. They aren't officers, sheriffs, detectives, etc.

    3. We're told both APD and Disneyland conspired to hide evidence from the DA and OC Court System. That's obstruction of justice and led to this guy being bailed out 14 days later. That's a serious crime in and of itself.

    4. "The thing we are blaming Disney and APD for is obstruction of justice." That's not the only thing you are blaming Disney for. Half your "article" isn't even about that.

    5. We can also blame Disney for failing to screen for concealed weapons, such as handguns and ammunition clips, if you like. All you need is a simple metal detector for that.

      Delete
    6. One can only imagine what would have happened of the weapon had been discovered at the security checkpoint. If someone is as unstable as your article make the suspect out to be were discovered at the checkpoint instead of where he was he probably would have started shooting then and there. Metal detectors do not solve the issue they only divert the location to somewhere less secure(like Downtown Dusney, or the hotels). They are only a bandaid that forces those who wish to get around the a challenge that increases the amount of undetectable weapons that are often more dangerous. Your "eye witnesses" do not have all of the information about the subject, there are details that your story is missing and the majority is speculation. The Disneyland Resort reacted to this event with swiftness and grace before any shots were fired and I applaud them for that. Are they in the wrong for holding back information yes but why worry people about something that is speculation. The Cast Members are not trained to cover up what is going on but they are told to not speculate on things, to not give out any information that they do not know for certain, and when possible to not break the Disney reality within the parks as that often leads to mass chaos and panic.

    7. Agoncillo bought a Park-Hopper ticket and was in both parks the whole day with his gun and ammo. He came out of the Tower of Terror, seeing the ghosts of his dead father and grandfather, which is understandable since there are projected images of ghosts on that ride. That's when the psychotic episode began. He threatened to shoot down a jet plane that passed by which frightened the ghosts and made them go away.

    8. "We're told both APD and Disneyland conspired to hide evidence from the DA and OC Court System." Wait a minute! I actually think that YOU said that. It is a conclusion that YOU jumped to!

      Maybe you should be come more familiar with the practice of law before making ridiculous accusations like you have. When filing charges, the DA cannot include conjecture in the charges. They can only file based on the laws that have potentially been broken. When the case goes to court, that is when this information MIGHT be taken into consideration.

      I'm sorry I wasted the time I did reading this very poorly written essay. You speak of terrorism in one of your replies. I say that your writing is done to instill terror in others. So what does that make you?

      Delete
    9. There is no mention whatsoever of Disneyland even being mentioned anywhere in the criminal complaint, which is a simple statement of location and basic facts. APD did that to conceal evidence from the DA.

      There's a serious consequence for withholding evidence from the DA in such a situation. The suspect got bailed out at a ridiculously low bond amount, which apparently he only needs to cover 10% of. A dangerous person like this should not have been bailed out of protective custody because he's a danger to others and himself.

      Ask yourself this question: If we didn't break this story, would anyone have found out about what really happened? The answer is no; therefore, there was a cover-up by Disneyland and APD.

      As for your terrorism charge, everyone already knows about 9/11. Get your head out of the sand.

  9. I used to live 2 miles from Disneyland and always worried that it would be target one day. Moved away from Kalifornia years ago to a state that doesn't mind you being able to defend yourself.
    I rarely go anyplace where guns are banned. If I can't carry, they don't get my business.

    BTW, it's called a "magazine" not a "clip"

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Depending on what type of gun it is, it's either a clip or a magazine. The reports we saw said it was additional loaded clips, but we don't know what type of gun it was.

      Delete
    2. Then how could you describe it as large?

      Delete
    3. It was large enough that the handle was hanging out of his pants pocket. We were told rumors that it was possibly a Glock 37, but couldn't confirm this because APD is very secretive. Large enough for you?

      Delete
    4. Nope.
      You said he had it concealed, therefore it was most likely a semi-automatic. The semi-auto uses "magazines" unless he was carrying around an M1 Garand which used clips, but would be pretty damned hard to conceal. LOL
      I agree with Anonymous above, who said it was "large caliber"? I'd love to see the "reports" you saw as well.
      Sounds like sensationalist writing to me.

    5. If you have a gun in your pocket (whether or not any part of it is exposed), it's considered "a concealed weapon" by California penal codes. If it's loaded, it's a crime in the state of California because you're not allowed to carry a concealed weapon without a specific permit that usually only law enforcement personnel can carry.

      The way to get around this law is to show the gun in plain site (like in an outside holster) with the being completely unloaded. The cops may search you for having a gun, but they can't arrest you unless you are a felon, who are not allowed to possess any guns.

      We never said anything about a "semi-automatic" weapon, but he brought extra ammunition clips. Please read what we said carefully. We wrote everything as accurately as we could.

  10. You also can't put the blame on them when he has a criminal background. He has felony charges and he was let out.

    From your other articles, I can tell that you don't understand something. Cast members do not cover up things such as the dry ice incident so it won't get out in the media. I was working when that incident happened in DCA and we were all informed about it even though it was in Too Town all the way at the other end of the park. It was all over the Disneyland twitter page and Facebook book page when I went on my break and hour or so after it happened. So these incidents are secrets. Cast members block entrances for the guests safety so no one goes in that area. And they don't want to cause panic among thousands of people unless it's absolutely necessary. I've had to block of parts of restaurants or walkways until security came if there was an unknown bag laying around when 10 times out of 10 someone just forgot it when they were getting a beverage.

  12. I was a custodial castmember frim 2007 to 2009 . I snuck in a bottle of wine. The security never reached down pass in back packs. Another incident happened during December of 2008. I was cleanig the Tommorow Terrance rstaurant about 1 am I could smell a gas leak outside . So I called maintenance they came out checked it about 5 hours later . I was leaving my shift and thought they took care of it.Next night samething I called Disneylands fire dept they did absolutely nothing. So next night in the same area I smelled it again called Anaheim fire department , they never came out . The Disneyland security called my celland ssked me why I called the answer was because nothing was done the last two nights. the morons wanted to wait till the holiday crowds were not there to fix the gas leak that went under the the front of restaurant to nemo . They cover up a lot of shit

  13. The Escape From Tomorrow film crew used consumer level cameras. Not exactly something security would be suspicious about in a place full of tourists. It's not like they had shoulder mounted professional camcorders and boom mics.

  17. Having been a Disneyland security cast member years ago, I can say categorically that it is utterly nonsensical to believe that you can devise any system that could prevent a gunman from getting a weapon into any park. You tell me how you would prevent someone from getting a gun into the park, and I will tell you in two seconds how I could get around it.

    1. At the moment, Disney is only putting up a D- effort in making the parks safe for employees and patrons. It's just embarrassing how much they love profits more than the safety of their guests and cast members.

      Best answer I can tell you to start is METAL DETECTORS and SCANNING EQUIPMENT, what TSA uses now.

      Delete
    2. Riiiiiiiight...because the TSA has such a stellar reputation with their screening process. What a load of poorly written, horribly arranged shite. If you're going to blog, take a writing class or two first. Not to mention slander and libel against high level law officers is pretty thick-headed.
      You're really obsessed with attacking all things Disney, eh? There's a pill that would help that, you know. Look into it.
      It must make you feel powerful to be able to leak things (about a theme park?!��) before the public is aware....why is that? Mummy didn't breast feed you? Not enough hugs as a wee one? Poor baby.
      Try as you may, Disney will be around long after you've outgrown this little tattling phase.

  22. When we were in the little indoor area where you wait to get into drawing school at DCA, there were a bunch of the white shirted Disney officers sitting around an unattended backpack. I broke out my phone and started recording, and had one of the older hag-looking women start looking at me in an intimidating manner. Of course, I kept filming, and one of them walk over and start standing in front of me.

    I then instructed my three sons, who also had phones, to start recording. They became more worried about US than the suspicious backpack.

    That right there signaled everything I needed to know about this place, they'll try to cover up anything that might leak out to the public to disrupt their "magic" (translation: money). I sure hope nothing bad ever happens, but if it did, I reckon it would get people who know a lot of things to start talking about what is likely a history of cover-ups and public deception.

    We stopped going to this place, it just wasn't worth it anymore. And after reading this article, I'm certainly glad we did.

  23. To follow up on my previous comment, there is a lot of lashing-out going on here. We used to see these same people at the parks, adults who needed Disney to help them escape whatever horrible reality they lived in. This isn't an attempt to insult people but you could clearly see the ones who likely were caught up a bit too much in the "Disney magic", the 15-pound pin-filled lanyards, the Disney shirt that had become two sizes two small, the ones who had to remind everyone in any conversation about how they were a passholder.

    This eye-opening article threatens their escape from reality. One thing I learned as I got older is we're not safe anywhere. Not at work. Not at a movie theater. Not at the mall. Not at a restaurant. And yes, fantasy-addicts, not at Disneyland.

    You might not like the content of the article but take off the mouse ears and realize the world is a dangerous place, and perhaps spend a bit more time working on your apparently not-so-great reality instead of being so dependent on the Disney fantasy.

Neither of them like the fact we outed them for the cover-up, and because it's now headline news, they're afraid that every aspect of our report will be verified when Agoncillo's court hearing comes up in just a few weeks. He was in both parks most of the day with his guns.

      I was kinda shocked at the lack of coverage on this issue so I started searching the web and this site came up in the results.

      If this report OFFENDS you, ask yourself why? You think none of it is true? I'd at the very least be reserving judgement and discover if any of these allegations just MIGHT be true before lashing out at this guy. You Disney employees are treated like slaves (based on former workers who post their stories on the internet) and you are either being made to come here and try to discredit this story or you genuinely are one of those fantasy addicts who can't stomach today's reality.
