Lisa Haven recently interviewed Dave Hodges host of “The Common Sense Man” show and asked him to comment on The Domestic Terrorism Act of 2018. His thoughts are both revealing and very troubling.
The bill currently working its way through Congress is sponsored by Representative Bradley Scott Schneider, (Dem – Ill) on the surface appears to be a much needed response to homegrown Islamic terrorism.
Michael German, a former FBI official who worked in counterterrorism warns caution.
He believes the FBI’s depiction of radicalization is misleading. Most of today’s terrorists are already planning violent actions and then seeing out an ideology to pin it on.
He compared James Holmes, the Aurora shooter who killed 12 people in 2012 at a movie screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” to Omar Mateen, the Orlando shooter who killed 49 people in 2016 at a gay nightclub. Manteen pledged allegiance to ISIS. Mateen’s rampage was portrayed as an obvious ideological attack against gay people, but “no one suggested Holmes was motivated by a hatred for Batman or those who watch it.”
Watch the video and learn why Dave Hodges sees the bill as disturbing and dangerous. He answers Lisa Haven’s question, “Is there a hidden agenda in The Domestic Terrorism Act of 2018?”
The five minutes it takes to watch this video will give you more than enough reason to demand your representative vote a resounding no to H.R. 4918.
