Thursday, October 26, 2023 - Another armed nut & Georgia's map zapped

Another deadly mass shooting has a community and surrounding state essentially on lockdown and a numb nation is immobile to do anything. I spoke with Leigh Richardson, licensed counselor, founder of the Brain Performance Center and author of the book " Turn Your Brain On to Get Your Game On: The How, What, Why to Peak Performance" to ask how survivors & grief-stricken loved ones handle such a scenario and what, if anything, can mental health professionals do if or when they're dealing with a potential risk to society. There's already a good bit we know about the killer - except his whereabouts - but the social media "company he keeps" isn't much of a surprise. His spree likely comes at a bad time for Burt Jones' "arm the teachers" pitch. A federal judge put Georgia in the same predicament Alabama was in - worse, actually; legislators now have to redraw not just Congressional maps but also state legislative boundaries. BIG win for fair maps advocates, including Ken Lawler, chair of Fair Districts Georgia, who joined me to discuss the ramifications of today's news. The "Bidenomics" economy keeps surprising naysayers - with eye-popping GDP data coming out today; meanwhile, MTG tries to do some censuring and wound up the target of a censure attempt herself.
