12 Signs of the Apocalypse: May, guns, and Open Carry Texas

Trying to decide the single worst thing to happen in May was a bit of a puzzle. If you remember, the year started (in January, for those of you keeping track) with a congressman insisting that he would not quit his job despite being arrested for, of all things, buying cocaine. He was forced out, but by May his fellow congressman Michael Grimm, who had been indicted on far more serious charges, was belligerently declaring that support for him was "overwhelming" and that he wasn't going to let a 20-count federal indictment interfere with his re-election. It worked, too. He may still face jail time, but the voters re-elected him just fine. This seems to prove the point that we're getting less and less choosy about keeping our crooks and our politicians separate.
March also saw the NRA declare the family of a murdered Sandy Hook Elementary School student a mere "prop." If I'm God, I'd probably send a few extra tornadoes through the midwest just for that comment alone.
Then there's Sean Hannity, who pushed contrarianism to the extreme with his on-air defense—yes, you read that right—of a homeowner who shot two teenage burglers execution-style.
After more labored breathing and another dragging sound, Smith calls her “bitch” again. He told authorities that after he moved her, he noticed she was still gasping and didn’t want her to suffer, so he fired under her chin with a 22.-caliber handgun, according to a report in the Pioneer Press. The Star Tribune reported Smith told investigators the last time he fired was “a good clean finishing shot” and “she gave out the death twitch.
 Hannity was dismayed that the jury found the murder premeditated.While Hannity said he didn't like the fact that Smith had called the slain teens "vermin," he nonetheless questioned the verdict because "they broke into the guy's house." [...] When Fox's Geraldo Rivera expressed disgust at the "coup de grace" shot that killed Kifer, Hannity responded, "You know what, it's easy to say after the fact, 'I wouldn't.'"
if there is one thing we should have noticed throughout that is the total apathy expressed by those under the Fox banner for not just Black lives but any life under the most definitive circumstances they support taking food out of children's mouths, denial of federal help during disasters they are the anti life scourge of America and they support right to life but only in fetal stage once a born baby they turn their backs and are prepared to let those same kids without a face that they fought soooooo hard to protect now are not deserving of health care or food.

have they ever stopped to consider where carry laws in bars will lead or is support and kick backs by NRA more important that frame of mind will drive them out of business because all they manufacture in the name of news dies out with the population taken by gun fire.
