Critics Sock Sean Hannity Over His Bizarre Personal ‘Plan’ For Mass Shootings (msn.com)
Sean Hannity had one combat sport in mind while outlining how he gears up for potential shootings just hours after a mass killing in Maine left at least 16 people dead on Wednesday.
“And then I always ask the question – when something like this happens, what is your plan? What do you do? I have a personal security plan. I train in mixed martial arts,” the Fox News host mentioned in an interview with GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley.

Marine Vet Coats Bullets in Bacon in Warning Video to ‘Jihadists’ (msn.com)
AU.S. Marine veteran shared a video on social media where he is seen covering bullets in bacon as a warning to 'jihadists" amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas militants.
On Instagram, U.S. Marine veteran Steven Gern posted a video on October 14 with a caption that reads, “Where’s all you Jihadist? Let’s get this Jihad going.”
In the video, Gern is holding a gun with bullets placed in front of him as he says, “I was just asking about the jihadists, man…when do ya’ll plan on getting this frigging jihad kicked off?”
“We’re ready, so I was just wondering when you all plan on getting this ready,” Gern says before showing a piece of bacon and rubbing it on the bullets. “I mean, I’m just asking when you want to get this jihad going because we’re ready. We are ready. So whenever you’re ready, let us know, so we can get started. Don’t worry, got a little pig fat for you.”

WRT Bowman, whatever happened to “can’t be charged with a crime while en route to voting” for congresscritters? Or is that only freedom from arrest, rather than freedom from being charged? In which case, why weren’t various congressional DUIs or other transgressions charged after the fact?

Bowman To Be Arraigned For Pulling Fire Alarm
Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) was charged criminally in DC for pulling a fire alarm in a House office building before a hurried vote last month.
Under an arrangement already worked out, Bowman will pay a $1,000 fine and apologize to Capitol Police and the charge will be dropped after three months.
This is nothing compared to the litigation that Pelosi will face for tearing up TIFG’s State of the Onion address.
Prosecuted to the full extent of the law and jailed for life, will be the proposition. Bet on it.

Opponents are worried about increased numbers of suicides?? The bigger worry is increased instance of mass slaughters of innocent people just going about their daily lives.
